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

Alpha-synuclein is associated with neuronal dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease. This study shows that alpha-synuclein interacts with neuronal synaptic vesicles in a calcium-dependent fashion, and this interaction is important for synaptic vesicle clustering.
