Dj-1 is a redox-dependent molecular chaperone that inhibits a -synuclein aggregate formation

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: PLoS BIOLOGY and collaborators from the DepartmentsColumbia University have published the Article: DJ-1 Is a Redox-Dependent Molecular Chaperone That Inhibits a -Synuclein Aggregate Formation, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: In a companion Article (Martinat et_al 2004) the authors show mutations in DJ-1 alter the cellular response to oxidative stress and proteasomal inhibition. The authors show DJ-1 functions as a redoxsensitive molecular is activated in an oxidative cytoplasmic environment. The authors demonstrate that DJ-1 chaperone activity is inhibited by reducing conditions, and can be stimulated by oxidation.
