Abstract excerpt
A significant proportion of early onset parkinsonism is inherited as an autosomal-recessive trait (AR-EP). DJ-1 was identified as one of the causative genes for AR-EP (PARK7), and DJ-1 protein has been implicated in oxidative stress response through oxidation of one of the three cysteine residues (i.e., Cys106). However, the individual roles of these cysteine residues remained unclear. We show by a systematic...
