Permeabilization of SOPG LUVs by α-synuclein oligomers. (a) Fluorescently labelled LUVs premixed with oligomers were mixed with dithionite, causing a decrease of fluorescence as the dye was bleached by the dithionite (αS-1, green; αS-2, blue; αS-4, red; αS-8, yellow; PBS, black). Without α-synuclein present, only the outer leaflet was bleached; additional bleaching occurred in the presence α-synuclein of owing to bleaching of the inner leaflet after membrane permeabilization. (b) The percentage of membrane permeabilization 2 min after dithionite addition was calculated for each construct at different concentrations of α-synuclein and plotted as a function of the molar ratio of protein to lipid.
