A substrate-interacting region of Parkin directs ubiquitination of the mitochondrial GTPase Miro1
14 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin gene have been linked to early onset Parkinson's disease. Besides many other roles, Parkin is involved in clearance of damaged mitochondria via mitophagy-a process of particular importance in dopaminergic neurons. Upon mitochondrial damage, Parkin accumulates at the outer mitochondrial membrane and is activated, leading to ubiquitination of many mitochondrial substrates...
