Mutations in <i>C. elegans</i> neuroligin-like <i>glit-1</i> , the apoptosis pathway and the calcium chaperone <i>crt-1</i> increase dopaminergic neurodegeneration after 6-OHDA treatment

Abstract excerpt
The loss of dopaminergic neurons is a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease, the aetiology of which is associated with increased levels of oxidative stress. We used C. elegans to screen for genes that protect dopaminergic neurons against oxidative stress and isolated glit-1 ( gli o t actin (Drosophila neuroligin-like) homologue) . Loss of the C. elegans neuroligin-like glit-1 causes increased dopaminergic neurode...
