Self-aggregation of amyloid proteins is a crucial step in neurodegenerative disease. The protein alpha-synuclein (αS) is implicated in Parkinson’s disease. In an extension of the demonstration of in situ observation of intermediates in αS-aggregation by continuous wave (cw) EPR at room temperature (Zurlo et al. PLoS One 16: e0245548, 2021) by spin-label EPR, here the spin label is attached to position 90 (R1αS90), rather than at position 56. The aim is to determine, if the spin-label position affects the kinetics of aggregation and if local information on the intermediates is accessible. Probed by the MTSL ((1-Oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline-3-methyl) methanethiosulfonate) spin label at position 90, using diamagnetic dilution of 9:1 wild type αS to R1αS90, similar aggregation kinetics are found. Rotation correlation times for the spin label in the oligomer cannot be determined with sufficient accuracy to obtain local information on the oligomer under the conditions used. At the present stage, higher resolution EPR approaches, such as high-field EPR are more promising.
