PTEN-Induced Putative Kinase 1 Dysfunction Accelerates Synucleinopathy [PDF]
Background: Mutations in PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 ( PINK1 ) cause autosomal recessive Parkinson’s disease (PD) and contribute to the risk of sporadic PD.

PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 regulates mitochondrial quality control and is essential for the maturation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have attracted attention in the field of regenerative medicine due to their potential ability to repair damaged hearts.

MicroRNA-593-5p contributes to cell death following exposure to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium by targeting PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 [PDF]
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by a decline in neuronal function and structure, leading to neuronal death. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of neuronal death is crucial for developing therapeutics. MiRs are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by degrading target mRNAs or inhibiting translation.

Cytosolic PTEN-induced Putative Kinase 1 Is Stabilized by the NF-κB Pathway and Promotes Non-selective Mitophagy [PDF]
The potential cellular function of the 53-kDa cytosolic form of PINK1 (PINK1-53) is often overlooked because of its rapid degradation by the proteasome upon its production. Although a number of recent studies have suggested various roles for PINK1-53, how this labile PINK1 species attains an adequate expression level to fulfil these roles remains ...

PTEN-Induced Putative Kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin-Mediated Mitophagy Protects PC12 Cells Against Cisplatin-Induced Neurotoxicity [PDF]
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, a dose-dependent adverse effect of cisplatin, involves mitochondrial dysfunction. PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin-mediated mitophagy removes damaged mitochondria under various pathological conditions.

Characterization of PINK1 (PTEN-induced Putative Kinase 1) Mutations Associated with Parkinson Disease in Mammalian Cells and Drosophila* [PDF]
Mutations in PINK1 (PTEN-induced putative kinase 1) are tightly linked to autosomal recessive Parkinson disease (PD). Although more than 50 mutations in PINK1 have been discovered, the role of these mutations in PD pathogenesis remains poorly understood.

Kinetin Riboside and Its ProTides Activate the Parkinson’s Disease Associated PTEN-Induced Putative Kinase 1 (PINK1) Independent of Mitochondrial Depolarization [PDF]
Since loss of function mutations of PINK1 lead to early onset Parkinson's disease, there has been growing interest in the discovery of small molecules that amplify the kinase activity of PINK1. We herein report the design, synthesis, serum stability, and hydrolysis of four kinetin riboside ProTides.

Hyperoxia exposure arrests alveolarization in neonatal rats via PTEN‑induced putative kinase 1‑Parkin and Nip3‑like protein X‑mediated mitophagy disorders. [PDF]
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), also known as chronic lung disease, is one of the most common respiratory diseases in premature new‑born humans. Mitochondria are not only the main source of reactive oxygen species but are also critical for the maintenance of homeostasis and a wide range of biological activities, such as producing energy, buffering ...

Nitric oxide induction of Parkin translocation in PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) deficiency: functional role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase during mitophagy. [PDF]
The failure to trigger mitophagy is implicated in the pathogenesis of familial Parkinson disease that is caused by PINK1 or Parkin mutations. According to the prevailing PINK1-Parkin signaling model, mitophagy is promoted by the mitochondrial translocation of Parkin, an essential PINK1-dependent step that occurs via a previously unknown mechanism.

miR-27a and miR-27b regulate autophagic clearance of damaged mitochondria by targeting PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1). [PDF]
Loss-of-function mutations in PINK1 and PARKIN are the most common causes of autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD). PINK1 is a mitochondrial serine/threonine kinase that plays a critical role in mitophagy, a selective autophagic clearance of damaged mitochondria.
