C-terminal α-synuclein truncations are linked to cysteine cathepsin activity in Parkinson's disease

A pathological feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) is Lewy bodies (LBs) composed of α-synuclein (α-syn) amyloid fibrils. α-Syn is a 140 amino acids–long protein, but truncated α-syn is enriched in LBs. The proteolytic processes that generate these truncations are not well-understood. On the bas...
