DJ-1 (or PARK-7) is a multifunctional protein implicated in numerous pathologies including cancer, sterility and Parkinson disease (PD). The popular genetic model Drosophila melanogaster has two orthologs, dj-1: α and β. Dysfunction of dj-1β strongly impairs fly mobility in an age-dependent manner. In this study, we analyze in detail the molecular mechanism underlying the dj-1β mutant phenotype. Mitochondrial...
