Abstract excerpt
Lewy bodies, the histopathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD), contain insoluble and aggregated α-synuclein (aSyn) and many other proteins, proposing a role for failure in protein degradation system in the PD pathogenesis. Proteasomal dysfunction has indeed been linked to PD and aSyn oligomers have been shown to inhibit proteasomes and autophagy. Our recent studies have shown that inhibitors of prolyl...
