Pathological α-syn aggregation is mediated by glycosphingolipid chain length and the physiological state of α-syn in vivo
6 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
mutations exhibit neurodegeneration, and the factors that influence neurological phenotypes are unknown. We find that α-synuclein (α-syn) neuropathology induced by GCase depletion depends on neuronal maturity, the physiological state of α-syn, and specific accumulation of long-chain glycosphingolipid (GSL) GCase substrates. Reduced GCase activity does not initiate α-syn aggregation in neonatal mice or immature...
