C-terminal calcium binding of α-synuclein modulates synaptic vesicle interaction

J Lautenschläger, AD Stephens, G Fusco… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Alpha-synuclein is known to bind to small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) via its N terminus,
which forms an amphipathic alpha-helix upon membrane interaction. Here we show that …
