Reduction of protein translation and activation of autophagy protect against PINK1 pathogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster.

PLoS Genetics, 2010
Mutations in PINK1 and Parkin cause familial, early onset Parkinson's disease. In Drosophila melanogaster, PINK1 and Parkin mutants show similar phenotypes, such as swollen and dysfunctional mitochondria, muscle degeneration, energy depletion, and ...

The selectivity and specificity of autophagy in drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
Autophagy is a process of cellular self-degradation and is a major pathway for elimination of cytoplasmic material by the lysosomes. Autophagy is responsible for the degradation of damaged organelles and protein aggregates and therefore plays a ...

PINK1/Parkin direct mitochondria to autophagy [PDF]

Autophagy, 2010
Mutations in PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) and PARK2/Parkin cause autosomal recessive forms of Parkinson disease. In mammalian cells, cytosolic Parkin is selectively recruited to depolarized mitochondria, followed by a stimulation of mitochondrial autophagy.

In Vitro Comparison of the Activity Requirements and Substrate Specificity of Human and Triboleum castaneum PINK1 Orthologues.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Mutations in the gene encoding the mitochondrial kinase PINK1 cause early-onset familial Parkinson's disease. To understand the biological function of PINK1 and its role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, it is useful to study its kinase ...

Circadian Rhythm Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease from Humans to Flies and Back [PDF]

, 2018
Clinical and research studies have suggested a link between Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD) and alterations in the circadian clock. Drosophila melanogaster may represent a useful model to study the relationship between the circadian clock and PD.

Regulation of PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy [PDF]

Autophagy, 2011
Parkinson disease (PD) is a devastating disorder of the nervous system for which no cure exists. Although the exact mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of PD are unclear, very recently, a novel cellular process has been identified that promises great future potential.

Autophagy and mitophagy in hepatocarcinogenesis

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2018
Autophagy is required for benign hepatic tumors to progress into malignant hepatocellular carcinoma. In our recent studies, we found that autophagy, or more specifically mitophagy, was required to suppress TP53 and induce the expression of the ...

BAG5 protects against mitochondrial oxidative damage through regulating PINK1 degradation.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) gene cause PARK6 familial Parkinsonism, and loss of the stability of PINK1 may also contribute to sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD).

PINK1 homozygous W437X mutation in a patient with apparent dominant transmission of parkinsonism. [PDF]

, 2006
We analyzed the PINK1 gene in 58 patients with early-onset Parkinsonism and detected the homozygous mutation W437X in 1 patient. The clinical phenotype was characterized by early onset (22 years of age), good re- sponse to levodopa, early fluctuations ...
