Alpha-synuclein’s degradation in vivo
Progressive accumulation of α-synuclein is key to the pathology of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Increased intracellular levels of α-synuclein may be caused by enhanced expression or alterations in protein degradation pathways. Here we re...

| Summary: | Progressive accumulation of α-synuclein is key to the pathology of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Increased intracellular levels of α-synuclein may be caused by enhanced expression or alterations in protein degradation pathways. Here we review our recent study showing that the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagy-lysosomal pathway are differentially involved in α-synuclein's degradation in vivo. We discuss the key findings obtained with our novel in vivo approach and also present a model for the progression of protein aggregation and dysfunctional degradation in Parkinson disease. |
