  • CPEB3's first prion-like domain (PRD1) selectively inhibits α-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation.
  • PRD1 interacts with the amyloid core of α-Syn, suppressing its aggregation.
  • PRD1 delays liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS)-mediated α-Syn aggregation.
  • No interaction was found between PRD1 and the C-terminal domain of TDP-43 (TDP-43CTD).
  • The study highlights the selective inhibition of α-Syn aggregation by PRD1 without affecting TDP-43 pathology.
