Abstract excerpt
DJ-1 is a multifunctional protein linked to recessively inherited Parkinson's disease (PD) due to loss of function mutations. Among its activities is anti-oxidant property leading to cytoprotection under oxidative stress conditions. A key effector of oxidant-induced cell death is the MAP3 kinase apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) which is bound to and inhibited by thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) under basal...
