Phosphorylation of Parkin at Serine65 is essential for activation: elaboration of a Miro1 substrate-based assay of Parkin E3 ligase activity [PDF]

open access: goldOpen Biology, 2014
Mutations in PINK1 and Parkin are associated with early-onset Parkinson's disease. We recently discovered that PINK1 phosphorylates Parkin at serine65 (Ser65) within its Ubl domain, leading to its activation in a substrate-free activity assay.

Parkin structure and function [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Journal, 2015
Mutations in the parkin or PINK1 genes are the leading cause of the autosomal recessive form of Parkinson's disease. The gene products, the E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin and the serine/threonine kinase PINK1, are neuroprotective proteins, which act together in a mitochondrial quality control pathway.

PINK1-mediated phosphorylation of Parkin boosts Parkin activity in Drosophila.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
Two genes linked to early onset Parkinson's disease, PINK1 and Parkin, encode a protein kinase and a ubiquitin-ligase, respectively. Both enzymes have been suggested to support mitochondrial quality control. We have reported that Parkin is phosphorylated

Additional feedforward mechanism of Parkin activation via binding of phospho-UBL and RING0 in trans

open access: greeneLife
Loss-of-function Parkin mutations lead to early-onset of Parkinson’s disease. Parkin is an auto-inhibited ubiquitin E3 ligase activated by dual phosphorylation of its ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain and ubiquitin by the PINK1 kinase. Herein, we demonstrate a

Parkin protects against traumatic brain injury through regulating mitochondrial quality control [PDF]

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a critical neurological condition, with neuronal damage being its fundamental pathological basis. However, molecular targets for the prevention and treatment of neuronal injury remain to be further explored.

Parkin deficiency exacerbates fasting-induced skeletal muscle wasting in mice

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease, 2022
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease manifesting itself with tremors, muscle stiffness, bradykinesia, dementia, and depression. Mutations of mitochondrial E3 ligase, PARKIN, have been associated with juvenile PD.

Parkin regulates drug-taking behavior in rat model of methamphetamine use disorder

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2021
There is no FDA-approved medication for methamphetamine (METH) use disorder. New therapeutic approaches are needed, especially for people who use METH heavily and are at high risk for overdose.
