Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP), a common familial form of Parkinson's disease, is caused by mutations of human Parkin. To deepen the understanding of Parkin biology in an in vivo model of Drosophila, we attempted to characterize the function of Drosophila melanogaster Parkin and found that D. melanogaster Parkin exhibited UbcH8-dependent E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. Using E2 binding...
