abstract = {Serine 129 and, to a lesser extent, serine 87 can appear
phosphorylated in the intrinsically disordered protein human
α-synuclein (AS), a key player in Parkinson’s disease,
where it accumulates in proteinaceous aggregates.
Intriguingly, both phosphorylations are located in a highly
negative potential region of the protein. Here we used
molecular simulation to provide insight in the selective
phosphorylation by polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2), in both
monomeric and fibrillar forms of AS. We suggest that
phosphorylation does not impact on the structural
determinants of the physiological AS conformational
ensemble, as the phosphate group is mostly solvated. Our
findings are consistent with experimental data on the
non-acetylated, non-physiological form of the protein. The
phosphate groups of pAS may be solvated also in the
aggregated form.},
