Parkinson’s disease associated mutation E46K of α-synuclein triggers the formation of a distinct fibril structure

The E46K α-synuclein mutation causes familial Parkinson’s disease. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structure of N-terminally acetylated E46K α-synuclein fibrils and find that it is distinct from other known α-synuclein fibril structures.
