Mitochondrial Ubiquitin Ligase in Cardiovascular Disorders

Tao Yu et al. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2017.

Abstract

Mitochondrial dynamics play a critical role in cellular responses and physiological process. However, their dysregulation leads to a functional degradation, which results in a diverse array of common disorders, including cardiovascular disease. In this background, the mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase has been attracting substantial research interest in recent years. Mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase is localized in the mitochondrial outer membrane, where it plays an essential role in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and apoptosis. In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive overview of the functions of mitochondrial ubiquitin ligases identified hitherto, with a special focus on cardiovascular disorders.

Keywords: Cardiovascular; E3; Heart failure; Mitochondrion; Ubiquitin ligase.
