Monoubiquitylation of α-Synuclein by Seven in Absentia Homolog (SIAH) Promotes Its Aggregation in Dopaminergic Cells
10 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein plays a major role in Parkinson disease. Unraveling the mechanisms of alpha-synuclein aggregation is essential to understand the formation of Lewy bodies and their involvement in dopaminergic cell death. alpha-Synuclein is ubiquitylated in Lewy bodies, but the role of alpha-synuclein ubiquitylation has been mysterious. We now report that the ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase seven in absentia...
