Splice isoform and pharmacological studies reveal that sterol depletion relocalizes -synuclein and enhances its toxicity
Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative diseases associated with toxicity of the lipid-binding protein α-synuclein (α-syn). When expressed in yeast, α-syn associates with membranes at the endoplasmic reticulum and traffics with vesicles out to the plasma membrane. At higher levels it elicits a numbe...
