Abstract excerpt
Abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein and mitochondria dynamics dysfunction are considered to be implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. However, the underlying mechanisms how α-synuclein abnormal accumulation causes mitochondrial dynamics dysfunction remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that dynamin-related protein 1(DRP1) is a substrate for p38 MAPK, mutant α-synuclein overexpression in SN4741...
