Ubiquitination of alpha-synuclein in Lewy bodies is a pathological event not associated with impairment of proteasome function.
Lewy bodies are intracellular fibrillar inclusions composed of alpha-synuclein. They constitute the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Although the majority of Lewy bodies are stained for ubiquitin by immunohistochemist...
