Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the formation of Lewy bodies containing aggregated alpha-synuclein. We used a yeast model to screen for deletion mutants with mislocalization and enhanced inclusion formation of alpha-synuclein. Many of the mutants were affected in functions related to vesicular traffic but especially mutants in endocytosis and vacuolar degradation combined...
