Analysis of α-syn and parkin interaction in mediating neuronal death in Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease
3 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
One of the hallmarks of Parkinson's Disease (PD) is aggregation of incorrectly folded α-synuclein ( SNCA ) protein resulting in selective death of dopaminergic neurons. Another form of PD is characterized by the loss-of-function of an E3-ubiquitin ligase, parkin . Mutations in SNCA and parkin result in impaired mitochondrial morphology, causing loss of dopaminergic neurons. Despite extensive research on the...
