Parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase and a Parkinsons's disease related gene, translocates to impaired mitochondria upon mitochondria intoxication and drives their elimination via autophagy, a process known as mitophagy. Mitochondrial pro-fusion protein Mitofusin (Mfn) was found to be a target for Parkin mediated ubiquitination. In absence of Parkin, Mfn fails to be ubiquitinated, thus accumulates in th ...
