The role of DJ-1 in enhancing mitochondrial quality control [PDF]
, 2013 Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityDJ-1 is a cytosolic sensor for oxidative damage which acts on the Mitochondria. It works to curb the negative effects of high membrane potential in mitochondria, but the mechanism of action is still uncertain.

Loss of α-Synuclein Does Not Affect Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in Rodent Neurons. [PDF]
, 2017 Increased α-synuclein (αsyn) and mitochondrial dysfunction play central roles in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), and lowering αsyn is under intensive investigation as a therapeutic strategy for PD. Increased αsyn levels disrupt mitochondria

Parkin uses the UPS to ship off dysfunctional mitochondria [PDF]
, 2011 Parkin is a ubiquitin E3 ligase that is implicated in familial Parkinson disease (PD). Previous studies have established its role in mitophagy, a pathway whereby dysfunctional mitochondria are targeted for autophagic degradation.

Mitophagy and the therapeutic clearance of damaged mitochondria for neuroprotection [PDF]
, 2016 Mitochondria are the foremost producers of the cellular energy currency ATP. They are also a significant source of reactive oxygen species and an important buffer of intracellular calcium.

Inhibition of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) rescues dopaminergic neurons in pink1-/- zebrafish [PDF]
, 2017 Mutations in PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) are a cause of early onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Loss of PINK1 function causes dysregulation of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal cell death.

Inactivation of presenilins causes pre-synaptic impairment prior to post-synaptic dysfunction [PDF]
, 2010 Synaptic dysfunction is widely thought to be a pathogenic precursor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and the extent of synaptic loss provides the best correlate for the severity of dementia in AD patients.

PINK1-Parkin Pathway Activity Is Regulated by Degradation of PINK1 in the Mitochondrial Matrix
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Loss-of-function mutations in PINK1, which encodes a mitochondrially targeted serine/threonine kinase, result in an early-onset heritable form of Parkinson's disease. Previous work has shown that PINK1 is constitutively degraded in healthy cells, but selectively accumulates on the surface of depolarized mitochondria, thereby initiating their autophagic
