“…In this regard, Parkin‐mediated degradation of mitochondrial proteins via proteasomal activation has been reported in several research studies (Chan et al, ; Yoshii, Kishi, Ishihara, & Mizushima, ). Upon changes in mitochondrial membrane potential, Parkin translocates to mitochondria, ubiquitinates mitochondrial outer membrane proteins (Bragoszewski et al, ; D. Narendra, Tanaka, Suen, & Youle, ), and by recruiting proteasome components to mitochondria activates UPS (Chan et al, ; Hammerling & Gustafsson, ). On the other hand, Parkin suppression resulted in the accumulation of Drp1 and mitochondrial fragmentation (Wang et al, ).…”
