Abstract
Ubiquitinate me here: The semisynthesis and characterization of a site-specifically monoubiquitinated form of α-synuclein (see picture) enabled investigation of the effect of ubiquitination on membrane binding, oligomerization, and fibrillogenesis. The introduction of specific ubiquitin modifications into α-synuclein will shed light on the role of ubiquitination in regulating the function(s) of α-synuclein in health and disease.
