Parkin regulation of CHOP modulates susceptibility to cardiac endoplasmic reticulum stress
The regulatory control of cardiac endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is incompletely characterized. As ER stress signaling upregulates the E3-ubiquitin ligase Parkin, we investigated the role of Parkin in cardiac ER stress. Parkin knockout mice exposed to

Olfaction in Parkin single and compound heterozygotes in a cohort of young onset Parkinson's disease patients [PDF]
Background Parkin related Parkinson's disease (PD) is differentiated from idiopathic PD by absent or sparse Lewy bodies, and preserved olfaction. The significance of single Parkin mutations in the pathogenesis of PD is debated.

Phosphorylation of mitochondrial polyubiquitin by PINK1 promotes Parkin mitochondrial tethering.
The kinase PINK1 and the E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase Parkin participate in mitochondrial quality control. The phosphorylation of Ser65 in Parkin's ubiquitin-like (UBl) domain by PINK1 stimulates Parkin activation and translocation to damaged mitochondria ...

mutation dosage and the phenomenon of anticipation: a molecular genetic study of familial parkinsonism [PDF]
Background: parkin mutations are a common cause of parkinsonism. Possessing two parkin mutations leads to early-onset parkinsonism, while having one mutation may predispose to lateonset disease.

Inhibition of apoptotic Bax translocation to the mitochondria is a central function of parkin [PDF]
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 1–3% of the population over 65. Mutations in the ubiquitin E3 ligase parkin are the most common cause of autosomal recessive PD.

Risk of Parkinson disease in carriers of parkin mutations : estimation using the kin-cohort method [PDF]
Objective: To estimate the risk of Parkinson disease (PD) in individuals with mutations in the Parkin gene. Design: We assessed point mutations and exon deletions and duplications in the Parkin gene in 247 probands with PD (age at onset 50 years) and ...

Depletion of mitochondria in mammalian cells through enforced mitophagy [PDF]
Mitochondria are not only the 'powerhouse' of the cell; they are also involved in a multitude of processes that include calcium storage, the cell cycle and cell death.

Disruption of the dynamic properties of mitochondria (fission, fusion, transport, degradation, and biogenesis) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD).

Case-control study of the parkin gene in early-onset Parkinson disease [PDF]
Background: Mutations in parkin are estimated to account for as much as 50% of familial Parkinson disease (PD) and 18% of sporadic PD. Single heterozygous mutations in parkin in both familial and sporadic cases may also increase susceptibility to PD.
