Apoptosis, Induced by Human α-Synuclein in Yeast, Can Occur Independent of Functional Mitochondria

Human α-synuclein expression in baker’s yeast reportedly induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. Surprisingly, we find that, under de-repressing conditions of the inducible <i>MET25/GAL1</i> promoters, yeast cells expressing chromosomally-integrated copies of the human α-synuclein gene...
