Parkin promotes mitochondrial ubiquitination. (A) MEFs were transfected with GFP wild-type (WT), A240R, and T415N mutant parkin followed by CCCP treatment for 8 h. Cells were immunostained with antibodies for cytochrome c (red) and ubiquitin (blue). Arrows indicate mitochondrial aggregates. Bar, 10 µm. (B) The average percentages of ubiquitin-positive mitochondrial aggregates from three independent experiments from A are presented with standard deviation as error bar. (C and D) MEFs were transfected and treated with CCCP as described in A. Cells were subjected to the fractionation to isolate crude mitochondria. Cytoplasmic and mitochondrial fractions were subjected to immunoblotting analysis using antibodies for ubiquitin, parkin, cytochrome c, and cytosolic Hsp90.
