Silencing of Glucocerebrosidase Gene in Drosophila Enhances the Aggregation of Parkinson's Disease Associated α-Synuclein Mutant A53T and Affects Locomotor Activity

Background: Mutations in glucocerebrosidase (GBA), a lysosomal enzyme are the most common genetic risk factor for developing Parkinson's disease (PD). We studied how reduced GCase activity affects α-synuclein (α-syn) and its mutants (A30P and A53T) aggregation, neurodegeneration, sleep and loco...
