Mitochondrial quality control by the Pink1/Parkin system

Rüb, Cornelia, Wilkening, Anne, Voos, Wolfgang·2017·Cell and Tissue Research

Abstract

Mitochondrial dysfunction represents a prominent pathological feature in many neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in Parkinson's disease (PD). Mutations in the genes encoding the proteins Pink1 and Parkin have been identified as genetic risk factors in familiar cases of PD. Research during the last decade has identified both proteins as crucial components of an organellar quality control system that contributes to the maintenance of mitochondrial function in healthy cells. The Pink1/Parkin system acts as a sensor for mitochondrial quality and is activated, in particular, after the loss of the electric potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Pink1 molecules accumulate at the surface of damaged mitochondria to recruit and activate Parkin, which, in turn, elicits a signaling pathway eventually leading to the autophagic removal of the damaged organelles. This review summarizes recent advances in our knowledge of the functional role of the Pink1/Parkin system in preventing the accumulation of damaged mitochondria by mitophagy.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Axonal autophagy is dependent on specialized enzymatic apparatuses, including the PINK1-PRKN complex for localized mitophagy, KIF1A/UNC-104 for autophagosome formation at the synapse, and the HTT-HAP1 complex and MAPK8IP1/JIP1 for retrograde transport of autophagosomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
