Spatiotemporally controlled initiation of Parkin-mediated mitophagy within single cells.
Autophagy - 1 Oct 2011
Yang Jin-Yi, Yang Wei Yuan
Abstract excerpt
Mitophagy, the selective removal of mitochondria through the autophagic pathway, is involved in cellular mitochondria quality control. Dysfunctional mitochondria can be selectively eliminated through Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Parkin is a ubiquitin E3 ligase that selectively translocates onto impaired mitochondria to initiate mitophagy, and mutations in Parkin have been identified in autosomal recessive forms of...
