Abstract excerpt
Mutations in parkin are involved in some cases of autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP), but it is not known how they result in nigral cell death. We examined the effect of parkin overexpression on the response of cells to various insults. Wild-type and AR-JP-associated mutant parkins (Del3-5, T240R, and Q311X) were overexpressed in NT-2 and SK-N-MC cells. Overexpressed wild-type parkin delayed cell...
