Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of LRRK2 to membranous and vesicular structures in mammalian brain.

TL;DR: The association of LRRK2 with a variety of membrane and vesicular structures, membrane-bound organelles, and microtubules suggests an affinity of L RRK2 for lipids or lipid-associated proteins and may suggest a potential role in the biogenesis and/or regulation of vesicle and membranous intracellular structures within the mammalian brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of AIF in caspase-dependent and caspase-independent cell death

TL;DR: The role of Bcl family proteins and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 signaling in the regulation of these apoptotic pathways are examined and ongoing controversies in this field are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide neurotoxicity.

TL;DR: It is likely that most of the neurotoxic actions of NO are mediated by peroxynitrite (ONOO-), the reaction product from NO and superoxide anion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptosis-inducing factor is involved in the regulation of caspase-independent neuronal cell death

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that p53 can induce neuronal cell death via a caspase-mediated process activated by apoptotic activating factor-1 (Apaf1) and via a delayed onset casp enzyme-independent mechanism, and that apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) is an important factor involved in the regulation of this caspases-independent neuronal cellDeath.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synphilin-1 associates with alpha-synuclein and promotes the formation of cytosolic inclusions.

TL;DR: It is found that α-synuclein interacts in vivo with synphilin-1 in neurons, and co-transfection of both proteins (but not control proteins) in HEK 293 cells yields cytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusions.
