Cumulative molecular effects of α-synuclein overexpression. Diagram illustrating the pleiotropic effects of increased intracellular levels of α-synuclein on vital intracellular pathways. The effects of α-synuclein on macroautophagy would likely cause increased susceptibility to proapoptotic insults, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased aggregation, which are all features of PD.
