Abstract excerpt
Aggregates of alpha-synuclein are the pathological hallmark of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD), and mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene underlie familial forms of the disease. To characterize the formation of alpha-synuclein aggregates in living cells, we developed a new strategy to visualize alpha-synuclein by fluorescence microscopy: alpha-synuclein was tagged with a six amino acid PDZ binding motif and...
