Abstract: Ξ±-synuclein (Ξ±Syn) is a small neuronal protein whose accumulation correlates with Parkinson's disease. Ξ±Syn A53T mutant impairs mitochondrial functions by affecting substrate import within the organelle, activity of complex I and the maximal respiratory capacity. However, the precise mechanism initiating the bioenergetic dysfunction is not clearly understood yet. By overexpressing Ξ±Syn A53T in SH-SY5Y cells, we investigated the specific changes in the mitochondrial respiratory profile using High-Resolution Respirometry. We found that Ξ±Syn A53T increases dissipative fluxes across the intermembrane mitochondrial space: this does not compromise the oxygen flows devoted to ATP production while it reduces the bioenergetic excess capacity of mitochondria, providing a possible explanation of the increased cell susceptibility observed in the presence of further stress stimuli. β’ Keywords: Parkinsonβs disease, High-resolution respirometry, Mitochondrial dysfunction, Ξ±Syn β’ Bioblast editor: Plangger M
