Parkin His302 is required for optimal activation of Parkin ubiquitin E3 ligase activity at mitochondria in response to PINK1 activation by CCCP.

Parkin His302 is required for optimal activation of Parkin ubiquitin E3 ligase activity at mitochondria in response to PINK1 activation by CCCP

Wild-type HeLa cells were transfected with untagged wild-type (WT), and Ser65Ala (S65A)-, His302Ala (H302A)- or Cys431Phe (C431F)-mutant Parkin and stimulated with 10 μM of CCCP or DMSO for 6 h. Mitochondrial enriched extracts were incubated with a ubiquitin-binding resin derived from His-Halo-Ubiquilin UBA-domain tetramer (UBAUBQLN1). Captured ubiquitylated proteins were subjected to immunoblotting with CISD1 and ubiquitin antibodies. In parallel, mitochondrial input extracts were immunoblotted with Tomm70 antibody.
