Miura E, Hasegawa T, Konno M, Suzuki M, Sugeno N, Fujikake N, Geisler S, Tabuchi M, Oshima R, Kikuchi A, Baba T, Wada K, Nagai Y, Takeda A, Aoki M. VPS35 dysfunction impairs lysosomal degradation of α-synuclein and exacerbates neurotoxicity in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease. Neurobiol Dis. 2014 Aug 6. pii: S0969-9961(14)00215-0. PMID: 25107340.
From the abstract: "Mutations in vacuolar protein sorting 35 (VPS35) have been linked to familial Parkinson's disease (PD). ... we found that the knockdown of Drosophila VPS35 not only induced the accumulation of the detergent-insoluble αSYN species in the brain but also exacerbated both locomotor impairments and mild compound eye disorganization and interommatidial bristle loss in flies expressing human αSYN. ..."
