Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Parkin, an E3 ligase, which participates in the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), cause juvenile onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Some mutants aggregate upon over-expression, but the effects of such aggregation on the UPS and neuronal survival have not been characterized. We show in this study that transient over-expression of wild type (WT) Parkin or various mutants in human neuroblastoma cells...
