Multitasking guardian of mitochondrial quality: Parkin function and Parkinson's disease

Abstract

The familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD) is linked to mutations in specific genes. The mutations in parkin are one of the most common causes of early-onset PD. Mitochondrial dysfunction is an emerging active player in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases, because mitochondria are highly dynamic structures integrated with many cellular functions. Herein, we overview and discuss the role of the parkin protein product, Parkin E3 ubiquitin ligase, in the cellular processes related to mitochondrial function, and how parkin mutations can result in pathology in vitro and in vivo.

Keywords: Mitochondria; Mitophagy; PINK1; Parkin; Parkin mutations; Parkinson's disease.
