CHIP Is Associated with Parkin, a Gene Responsible for Familial Parkinson's Disease, and Enhances Its Ubiquitin Ligase Activity

Unfolded Pael receptor (Pael-R) is a substrate of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin. Accumulation of Pael-R in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of dopaminergic neurons induces ER stress leading to neurodegeneration. Here, we show that CHIP, Hsp70, Parkin, and Pael-R formed a complex in vitro and in vivo....
