Fluorescence imaging of amyloid formation in living cells by a functional, tetracysteine-tagged α-synuclein
α-synuclein is a major component of intraneuronal protein aggregates constituting a distinctive feature of Parkinson disease. To date, fluorescence imaging of dynamic processes leading to such amyloid deposits in living cells has not been feasible. To address this need, we generated a recombinant α-...

α-synuclein is a major component of intraneuronal protein aggregates constituting a distinctive feature of Parkinson disease.
