Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein (alpha-syn) and ubiquitin (Ub) are major protein components deposited in Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites, which are pathologic hallmarks of idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD). Almost 90% of alpha-syn in LBs is phosphorylated at serine 129 (Ser(129)). However, the role of Ser(12...
