Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila pink1 is required for mitochondrial function and interacts genetically with parkin.
Ira E. Clark,Mark W. Dodson,Changan Jiang,Joseph Cao,Jun R. Huh,Jae Hong Seol,Soon Ji Yoo,Bruce A. Hay,Ming Guo +8 more
TL;DR: Removal of Drosophila PINK1 homologue function results in male sterility, apoptotic muscle degeneration, defects in mitochondrial morphology and increased sensitivity to multiple stresses including oxidative stress, which underscores the importance of mitochondrial dysfunction as a central mechanism of Parkinson's disease pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Drosophila caspase inhibitor DIAP1 is essential for cell survival and is negatively regulated by HID.
TL;DR: It is proposed that RPR, HID, and GRIM promote apoptosis by disrupting productive IAP-caspase interactions and that DIAP1 is required to block apoptosis-inducing caspase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hid, Rpr and Grim negatively regulate DIAP1 levels through distinct mechanisms
Soon Ji Yoo,Jun R. Huh,Israel Muro,Hong Yu,Lijuan Wang,Susan L. Wang,R. M. Renny Feldman,Rollie J. Clem,H.-Arno J. Müller,Bruce A. Hay +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that Head involution defective (Hid), Reaper (Rpr) and Grim downregulate Drosophila melanogaster IAP1 (DIAP) protein levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Drosophila Caspase DRONC Cleaves following Glutamate or Aspartate and Is Regulated by DIAP1, HID, and GRIM *
Christine J. Hawkins,Soon Ji Yoo,Erin P. Peterson,Susan L. Wang,Stephanie Y. Vernooy,Bruce A. Hay +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the Drosophila caspase DRONC cleaves COOH-terminal to glutamate as well as aspartate, which suggests that DRonC acts to promote cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hslv-hslu : a novel atp-dependent protease complex in escherichia coli related to the eukaryotic proteasome
Markus Rohrwild,Olivier Coux,Haixia Huang,Richard P. Moerschell,Soon Ji Yoo,Jae Hong Seol,Chin Ha Chung,Alfred L. Goldberg +7 more
TL;DR: A new type of ATP-dependent protease is isolated from Escherichia coli that encodes two proteins: HslV, a 19-kDa protein similar to proteasome beta subunits, and HslU, a 50- kDa protein related to the ATPase ClpX, which appears to form a complex in which ATP hydrolysis by HSlU is essential for peptide hydrolyisation by the proteasomesome-like component HSlV.
