Abstract excerpt
Current hypotheses concerning the mechanism of neuronal cell death in Parkinson's disease (PD) and related synucleopathies propose a functional interaction between parkin and alpha-synuclein (alphaS). Recently parkin was shown to suppress mutant alphaS-induced toxicity in primary neurons, providing a basis for an association between these proteins and neuronal loss [Neuron 36 (2000) 1007-1019]. We have asked if a...
