α-Synuclein and its disease-related mutants interact differentially with the microtubule protein tau and associate with the actin cytoskeleton
α-Synuclein is a primarily neuronal protein that is enriched at the pre-synapse. α-Synuclein and the microtubule binding protein tau have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. α-Synuclein is known to associate with phospholipid vesicles, regulates dopamine metabolism and exhibits chaperone...
