A substrate-interacting region of Parkin directs ubiquitination of the mitochondrial GTPase Miro1
2024-06-03
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding for the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin have been linked to early-onset Parkinson’s disease. Besides many other cellular 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 ma...
