A Split Biotin Ligase Approach to Revealing Proteins Associated with Oligomeric Alpha-Synuclein During Aggregation.
Article in Research square, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lewy pathology can form over decades in patients with Lewy body diseases, but the causal cellular mechanisms associated with this process remain unclear. This project aims to discover proteins that associate with monomeric and/or oligomeric alpha-synuclein during early stages of the aggregation process. To mimic the aggregation processes, cells expressing a synuclein-biotin ligase fusion protein were treated human recombinant pre-formed fibrils and subjected to BioSITe and mass spectrometry. Using a novel split biotin ligase fused to alpha-synuclein facilitated the identification of proteins specifically associated with multimeric alpha-synuclein. A total of 581 proteins were differentiated into potential interactors of monomeric versus multimeric alpha-synuclein in physiological versus aggregated conditions. The data reveal important phosphorylation mechanisms, connections to insulin processing, and a potential interaction with ALS-associated FUS. Interestingly, we identified that loss of specific interactions may contribute to pathology in patients with sporadic onset of Lewy body diseases. Future studies will validate both true interaction of highlighted proteins with alpha-synuclein, and the impact of such proteins on alpha-synuclein aggregation.
