Abstract excerpt
Depolarized mitochondria are degraded by mitophagy in a process that depends on the Parkinson's disease gene products PINK1 and Parkin. This is accompanied by ubiquitylation of several mitochondrial substrates. The roles of E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (UBE2) in mitophagy are poorly understood. Here, we investigate a set of UBE2 enzymes that might regulate Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Knockdown of the E2...
