Abstract Objective: To identify the functional domain of α-Synuclein in affecting mitochondrial function and how the function to be impaired, especially, the mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of Cytochrome c. Methods: Harvest of α-Syn-N and α-Syn-△N by PCR, then subcloned into the pCMV-Myc mammalian expression vector. The recombinant plasmids were transfected into HEK293T cells by Lipofectamine 2000. After detecting the protein expression by western blot, the functional domain was detected by co-immunoprecipitation. The mitochondrial membrane potential through flow cytometry and immunofluorescence, at the same time, the release of Cytochrome c through flow cytometry to detect. Results: The recombinant plasmids were constructed successfully. CO-IP has proved that N-terminal may be the functional domain of α-Synuclein in affecting mitochondria. Over-expression of N-terminal could depolarize the mitochondrial membrane potential and induce the Cytochrome c releasing in MN9D cells. Conclusion: N-terminal may be the functional domain of a-synuclein and over-expression of N-terminal could decrease mitochondrial activity.
