    basic FUNCTION
  • promoting formation of cytosolic inclusions in neurons
  • protecting the neurons against cellular stress
  • synaptic partner of SNCA, may be mediating synaptic roles attributed to SNCA
  • role in synaptic function and protein degradation and in the molecular mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration in Parkinson disease
  • SNCAIP inhibition of the proteasomal pathway of degradation of SNCA may help to understand the pathophysiological changes occurring in Parkinson disease and other synucleinopathies

    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to SNCA and PARK2 in neurons
  • interacting with PSMC4
  • interacting with the E3 ubiquitin -ligase SIAH1 and SIAH2
  • ubiquitylated by RNF19 in Parkinson disease
  • ubiquitination by parkin may be involved in the formation of Lewy body inclusions associated with Parkinson disease
  • PPHLN1 is a novel interactor of SNCAIP
  • the specific interaction between SNCA and SNCAIP provides mechanistic insights into the inclusion-body formation in cells and pathological implication in Parkinson disease
  • interacts with alpha-synuclein (SNCA), promoting its aggregation
  • NUB1 is a SNCAIP-binding protein, also accumulating in Lewy bodies
