Ubiquitylated protein aggregates are characteristic features of neurodegenerative disorders that are also found in acute pathological states of the brain such as stroke. Many of the proteins connected to neurodegenerative diseases play a role in the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway. Mutation of one of these proteins, the E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin, is the cause of autosomal recessive juvenile Parkinson's disease. Here we show that transient focal cerebral ischemia of 1-h duration induces marked depletion of parkin protein levels, to 60%, 36%, 33%, and 25% of controls after 1, 3, 6, and 24 h of reperfusion, but that ischemia does not cause lower protein levels of E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes Ubc6, Ubc7, or Ubc9. After 3 h of reperfusion, when parkin protein levels were already reduced to
