Alpha-Synuclein Continues to Enhance SNARE-Dependent Vesicle Docking at Exorbitant Concentrations

Recently, Parkinson’s disease-associated α-synuclein (αS) has emerged as an important regulator for SNARE-dependent vesicle fusion. However, it is controversial if excessive accumulation of αS, even in the absence of aggregation, impairs neurotransmission. Here we use a single vesicle fusion assay w...
