Oxidation of the cysteine-rich regions of parkin perturbs its E3 ligase activity and contributes to protein aggregation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Accumulation of aberrant proteins to form Lewy bodies (LBs) is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Ubiquitination-mediated degradation of aberrant, misfolded proteins is critical for maintaining normal cell function. Emergin...
