The RBR E3 ligase parkin is recruited to the outer
mitochondrial membrane (OMM) during oxidative
stress where it becomes activated and ubiquitinates
numerous proteins. Parkin activation involves bind ing of a phosphorylated ubiquitin (pUb), followed by
phosphorylation of parkin itself, both mediated by the
OMM kinase, PINK1. However, targeted mitochon drial proteins have little structural or sequence sim ilarity, with the commonality between su...
