Abstract excerpt
Defects in the 20S/26S proteasome and conformational changes in alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) are implicated in the development of sporadic and familial cases of PD. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether alpha-syn affects proteolysis by the proteasome and, reciprocally, whether proteasome inhibition affects alpha-syn solubility and localization. Although alpha-syn directly inhibited purified 20S...
