Model of Parkin activation by PINK1. Under basal conditions Parkin is kept in a closed inactive conformation by Ubl-mediated autoinhibition. Following mitochondrial depolarization, PINK1 phosphorylates Parkin at Ser65 thereby relieving Parkin autoinhibition and enabling Parkin to become active to ubiquitylate target substrates.
