ABSTRACT
Mutations in the ubiquitin ligase PRKN (parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase) are associated with Parkinson disease and defective mitophagy. Conceptually, PRKN-dependent mitophagy is classified into two phases 1. PRKN recruits to and ubiquitinates mitochondrial proteins; 2. formation of phagophore membrane, sequestering mitochondria for degradation. Recently, endosomal machineries are reported to contribute to the later stage for membrane assembly. We reported a role for endosomes in the events upstream of phase 1. We demonstrate that the endosomal ubiquitin ligase RFFL (ring finger and FYVE like domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase) associated with damaged mitochondria, and this association preceded that of PRKN. RFFL interacted with PRKN, and stable recruitment of PRKN to damaged mitochondria was substantially reduced in RFFL KO cells. Our study unraveled a novel role of endosomes in modulating upstream pathways of PRKN-dependent mitophagy initiation.Abbreviations CCCP carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone; DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide; EGFP enhanced green fluorescence protein; KO knockout; PRKN parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; RFFL ring finger and FYVE like domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; UQCRC1 ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 1; WT wild-type.
