24 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein inclusion bodies are a pathological hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, and contain aggregated α-synuclein and a variety of recruited factors, including protein chaperones, proteasome components, ubiquitin and the small ubiquitin-like modifier, SUMO-1.
