Abstract
In order to explain the molecular causes of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) it is important to understand the effect that mutations described as causative of the disease have at the functional level. In this special issue, several authors have been reviewing the effects in PD and other parkinsonisms of mutations described in LRRK2, α-synuclein, PINK1-Parkin-DJ-1, UCHL1, ATP13A2, GBA, VPS35, FBOX7 and HTRA2. In this review, we compile the knowledge about other proteins with a more general role in neurodegenerative diseases (MAPT) or for which less data is available due to its recent discovery (EIF4G1, DNAJC13), the lack of structural or functional data (as for PLA2G6 or DNAJC6), or even their doubtful association with the disease (as for GIGYF2, SYNJ1 and SPR). Also the cellular pathways involved in this disease are reviewed, with the goal of having an overview of the effects on the proteins and its possible role in the disease. This knowledge could also serve as the basis for designing tools that may potentially be used as a treatment for the disease, such as inhibitory or activating molecules, as well as other involved in regulating the half-life of the proteins involved.
Keywords: SPR, GIGYF2, PLA2G6, eIF4G1, DNAJC6, SYNJ1, DNAJC13, PARK10, PARK16, MAPT.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
