Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein is a major component of Lewy bodies, a neuropathological feature of Parkinson's disease. Two alpha-synuclein mutations, Ala53Thr and Ala30Pro, are associated with early onset, familial forms of the disease. Recently, synphilin-1, a protein found to interact with alpha-synuclein by yeast two hybrid techniques, was detected in Lewy bodies. In this study we report the interaction of alpha-synuclein...
