Alpha-synuclein supports interferon stimulated gene expression in neurons
2020-04-27
Abstract excerpt
The protein alpha-synuclein (asyn) is predominantly expressed in neurons and is associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease (PD); yet, a functional role for asyn in neurons is not clearly established. We have previously shown that asyn expression is up-regulated following viral infection in neurons and is critical for host immune responses to RNA virus infections. Here, we investigate the m...
