Abstract excerpt
The E3 ubiquitin ligase PARK2 and the mitochondrial protein kinase PINK1 are required for the initiation of mitochondrial damage-induced mitophagy. Together, PARK2 and PINK1 generate a phospho-ubiquitin signal on outer mitochondrial membrane proteins that triggers recruitment of the autophagy machinery. This paper describes the detection of a defined 500-kDa phospho-ubiquitin-rich PARK2 complex that accumulates...
