Altered intestinal permeability has been correlated with Parkinson's pathophysiology in the enteric nervous system, before manifestations in the central nervous system (CNS). The inflammatory endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) released by gut bacteria is known to modulate alpha-synuclein amyloidogenesis through the formation of intermediate nucleating species. Here, biophysical techniques in conjunction with microscopic images revealed the molecular interaction between lipopolysaccharide and asynuclein that induce rapid nucleation events. This heteromolecular interaction stabilizes the alpha-helical intermediates in the alpha-synuclein aggregation pathway. Multitude NMR studies probed the residues involved in the LPS-binding structural motif that modulates the nucleating forms, affecting the cellular internalization and associated cytotoxicity. Collectively, our data characterizes this heteromolecular interaction associated with an alternative pathway in Parkinson's disease progression.
