Abstract excerpt
The p.D620N mutation in VPS35 causes an autosomal dominant form of Parkinson's disease via mechanisms that are poorly understood. PINK1 and parkin, two proteins whose loss-of-function underlies autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease, cooperate to mediate mitophagy, a quality control pathway for selective elimination of damaged mitochondria. PINK1/parkin-mediated mitophagy is disrupted by LRRK2 mutations, which...
