UBXD1 is a mitochondrial recruitment factor for p97/VCP and promotes mitophagy
13 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
Clearance of damaged mitochondria through mitophagy is critical for maintaining mitochondrial fidelity and the prevention of neurodegeneration. Here, we report on the UBX domain-containing, p97/VCP cofactor UBXD1/UBXN6/UBXDC2 and its role in mitophagy. Recognizing depolarized mitochondria via its C-terminal UBX domain, UBXD1 translocates to mitochondria in a Parkin-dependent manner. During Parkin-independent...
