Mechanisms responsible for neuronal vulnerability in the brain remain unclear. Striatal neurons are preferentially damaged by 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP), a mitochondrial complex-II inhibitor, causing striatal damage reminiscent of Huntington's disease (HD), but the mechanisms of the selectivity are not as well understood. We have discovered that Rhes, a protein enriched in the striatum, removes mitochondria via the mitophagy process. The process becomes intensified in the presence of 3-NP, thereby eliminating most of the mitochondria
