Functional role of PGAM5 multimeric assemblies and their polymerization into filaments. [PDF]
PGAM5 is a mitochondrial protein phosphatase whose genetic ablation in mice results in mitochondria-related disorders, including neurodegeneration. Functions of PGAM5 include regulation of mitophagy, cell death, metabolism and aging.

PINK1 function in health and disease
The role of mitochondria in sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) has been debated for a little over 20 years since the description of complex I deficiency in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) of PD patients. However, the identification of recessive pathogenic mutations in the pink1 gene in familial PD cases firmly re-ignited interest in the ...

Regulation of Mitochondrial Dynamics and Neurodegenerative Diseases [PDF]
Mitochondria are important cellular organelles in most metabolic processes and have a highly dynamic nature, undergoing frequent fission and fusion. The dynamic balance between fission and fusion plays critical roles in mitochondrial functions. In recent

The mitochondrial fusion-promoting factor mitofusin is a substrate of the PINK1/parkin pathway.
Loss-of-function mutations in the PINK1 or parkin genes result in recessive heritable forms of parkinsonism. Genetic studies of Drosophila orthologs of PINK1 and parkin indicate that PINK1, a mitochondrially targeted serine/threonine kinase, acts ...

A positive feedback loop between SMAD3 and PINK1 in regulation of mitophagy
PTEN-induced kinase-1 (PINK1) is a crucial player in selective clearance of damaged mitochondria via the autophagy-lysosome pathway, a process termed mitophagy.

BackgroundPTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is linked to recessive Parkinsonism (EOPD). Pink1 deletion results in impaired dopamine (DA) release and decreased mitochondrial respiration in the striatum of mice. To reveal additional mechanisms of Pink1-related

Bioenergetic Consequences of PINK1 Mutations in Parkinson Disease [PDF]
Background: Mutations of the gene for PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) are a cause of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). PINK1 protein has been localised to mitochondria and PINK1 gene knockout models exhibit abnormal mitochondrial function.
