Abstract
Fbxo7/PARK15 has well-defined roles, acting as part of a Skp1-Cul1-F box protein (SCF)- type E3 ubiquitin ligase and also having SCF-independent activities. Mutations within FBXO7 have been found to cause an early-onset Parkinson’s disease, and these are found within or near to its functional domains, including its F-box domain (FBD), its proline rich region (PRR), and its ubiquitinlike domain (Ubl). We highlight recent advances in our understanding of Fbxo7 function in Parkinson’s disease, with respect to these mutations and where they occur in the Fbxo7 protein. We hypothesize that many of Fbxo7 functions contribute to its role in PD pathogenesis.
Keywords: Fbxo7/PARK15, F-box protein, SCF-ligase, ubiquitin, E3 ligase, Parkinson’s disease, mitophagy.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
