Mitochondrial cardiolipin couples electron transport between ubiquinone and complex I to rescue PINK1 deficiency
Objective: Test the effect of loss of FASN on Pink1 deficiency. Background: PINK1 deficiency causes Parkinson's disease that is based on mitochondrial defects including inefficient…Heterozygous PINK1 p.G411S mutation increases risk for Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Objective: To investigate the possible disease-association and pathogenic mechanisms of heterozygous PINK1 mutations from a genetic, functional, and structural perspective. Background: It has been postulated…Mitochondrial Hsp90 inhibitor G-TTP triggers PINK1/parkin-dependent mitochondrial quality control
Objective: To characterize the response of cells treated with Gamitrinib-triphenylphosphonium (G-TTP) a mitochondrial targeted inhibitor of the chaperone Hsp90. Background: Upon dissipation of the mitochondrial…Counteracting PINK1/parkin deficiency by activating alternative mitophagic pathway: a potential therapeutic intervention for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify a new therapeutic target for developing neuroprotective treatment in Parkinson's disease (PD) by improving mitochondrial function through restoration of mitochondrial quality control…PINK1-dependent clearance of depolarized mitochondria is driven by the UPS and can occur independently of (macro)autophagy
Objective: To disect the role of macroautophagy in PINK1-/Parkin-dependent removal of depolarized mitochondria. Background: The ubiquitin ligase Parkin and mitochondrial kinase PINK1 function together in…
