Proteinaceous inclusions containing alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) have been implicated in neuronal toxicity in Parkinson’s disease, but the pathways that modulate toxicity remain enigmatic. Here, we used a targeted proteomic assay to simultaneously measure 269 pathway activation markers and proteins deregulated by α-Syn expression across a panel of 33 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that...
