The neurodegeneration mutant lochrig interferes with cholesterol homeostasis and Appl processing

Tschape, J.-A. ; ; ; ; ;



Zusammenfassung

The novel Drosophila mutant lochrig (loe) shows progressive neurodegeneration and neuronal cell death, in addition to a low level of cholesterol ester. loe affects a specific isoform of the gamma-subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a negative regulator of hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase and cholesterol synthesis in vertebrates. Although Drosophila cannot synthesize ...
