The E3 ligase PARC mediates the degradation of cytosolic cytochrome c to promote survival in neurons and cancer cells
15 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
The ability to withstand mitochondrial damage is especially critical for the survival of postmitotic cells, such as neurons. Likewise, cancer cells can also survive mitochondrial stress. We found that cytochrome c (Cyt c), which induces apoptosis upon its release from damaged mitochondria, is targeted for proteasome-mediated degradation in mouse neurons, cardiomyocytes, and myotubes and in human glioma and...
