DJ-1 is an essential downstream mediator in PINK1/parkin-dependent mitophagy
27 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in the PRKN, PINK1 and PARK7 genes (encoding parkin, PINK1 and DJ-1, respectively) cause autosomal recessive forms of Parkinson's disease. PINK1 and parkin jointly mediate selective autophagy of damaged mitochondria (mitophagy), but the mechanisms by which loss of DJ-1 induces Parkinson's disease are not well understood. Here, we investigated PINK1/parkin-mediated mitophagy in cultured...
