VDAC1 regulates stress-associated matrix localization of DJ-1 to support mitochondrial homeostasis and neuronal survival

DJ-1 is a redox-sensitive protein implicated in early-onset Parkinson’s disease, and its mitochondrial localization protects against oxidative stress, but the mechanisms regulating its submitochondrial targeting and functional impact on mitochondrial integrity remain poorly understood. We identify voltage-dependent ani...
