The mechanism of Parkin activation by PINK1 phosphorylation

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the E3 Ub ligase Parkin (PARK2) and the protein kinase PINK1 (PARK6) are genetically linked to Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease. The two enzymes orchestrate clearance of damaged, cytotoxic mitochondria through a specialized form of autophagy termed mitophagy. By phosphorylating ubiquitin (Ub) on the surface of damaged mitochondria, PINK1 generates a phospho-Ub receptor for autoinhibited cytosolic Parki...
