Naturally occurring hyperactive variants of human parkin.

Abstract excerpt

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world. Although most cases are sporadic and occur later in life, 10-15% of cases are genetic. Loss-of-function mutations in the ring-between-ring E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin, encoded by the PRKN gene, cause autosomal recessive forms of early onset PD. Together with the kinase PINK1, parkin forms a mitochondrial quality control...
