Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The intracellular degradation system, autophagy is known to degrade aggregate-prone proteins causing neurodegeneration including Parkinson disease. We found that suppression of Rubicon, a negative regulator of autophagy enhances these proteins. In addition, we identified several Low molecular weight compounds, which are candidates for activating autophagy thereby promote degradation of the proteins.
