J Biol Chem 281:25757-67. 2006..Concomitantly, emergence of caspase-like enzymatic activity occurs suggesting a role for caspases in the cell death process. These data strongly point for the first time to a mitochondrial involvement in Cdc48p/VCP-dependent apoptosis...
MMI1 (YKL056c, TMA19), the yeast orthologue of the translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) has apoptotic functions and interacts with both microtubules and mitochondriaMark Rinnerthaler
Department of Cell Biology, Division of Genetics, University of Salzburg, Austria
Biochim Biophys Acta 1757:631-8. 2006..Our results so far indicate that Mmi1p is one of the few proteins establishing a functional link between microtubules and mitochondria which may be needed for correct localization of mitochondria during cell division...
The Parkinson disease causing LRRK2 mutation I2020T is associated with increased kinase activityChristian Johannes Gloeckner
GSF National Research Center for Environment and Health, Institute of Human Genetics, Munich Neuherberg, Germany
Hum Mol Genet 15:223-32. 2006..This suggests that the pathology of PD caused by the I2020T mutation is associated with an increase rather than a loss in LRRK2 kinase activity...
