PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) is a ubiquitous protein with highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, and testis, and with lower expression in other tissues, including brain. PINK1 contains a mitochondrial targeting motif and a highly conserved protein kinase domain with strong homology to serine/threonine kinases of the calcium/calmodulin family. Mutations in the Pink1 gene have been identified as a cause of autosomal recessive early-onset parkinsonism.

Understanding Mitophagy Mechanisms: Canonical PINK1/Parkin, LC3-Dependent Piecemeal, and LC3-Independent Mitochondrial Derived Vesicles By Christina Towers, PhD What is Mitophagy?The selective degradation of mitochondria via double membrane autophagosome vesicles is called mitophagy. Damaged mitochondria can generate harmful amounts of reactive ox... Read full blog post. |
New Players in the Mitophagy Game By Christina Towers, PhD Mitochondrial turn over via the lysosome, otherwise known as mitophagy, involves engulfment of mitochondria into double membrane autophagosomes and subsequent fusion with lysosomes. Much is al... Read full blog post. |
Losing memory: Toxicity from mutant APP and amyloid beta explain the hippocampal neuronal damage in Alzheimer's disease By Jamshed Arslan Pharm.D. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. The telltale signs of AD brains are extracellular deposits of amy... Read full blog post. |
There's an autophagy for that! By Christina Towers, PhDA critical mechanism that cells use to generate nutrients and fuel metabolism is through a process called autophagy. This process is complex and involves over 20 different proteins, most of which are highly conserved acro... Read full blog post. |
The role of Parkin and autophagy in retinal pigment epithelial cell (RPE) degradation The root of Parkinson’s disease (PD) points to a poorly regulated electron transport chain leading to mitochondrial damage, where many proteins need to work cohesively to ensure proper function. The two key players of this pathway are PINK1, ... Read full blog post. |
The identification of dopaminergic neurons using Tyrosine Hydroxylase in Parkinson's research and LRRK2 Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is a crucial enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine in the brain. Specifically, TH catalyzes the conversion of l-tyrosine to l-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-dopa). The importance of t... Read full blog post. |
Parkin - Role in Mitochondrial Quality Control and Parkinson's Disease Parkin/PARK2 is a cytosolic enzyme which gets recruited to cellular mitochondria damaged through depolarization, ROS or unfolded proteins accumulation, and exert protective effects by inducing mitophagy (mitochondrial autophagy). Parkin induces mit... Read full blog post. |
PINK1 - performing mitochondrial quality control and protecting against Parkinson’s disease PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) is a serine/threonine kinase with important functions in mitochondrial quality control. Together with the Parkin protein, PINK1 is able to regulate the selective degradation of damaged mitochondria through aut... Read full blog post. |
PINK1: All work and no fun The protein PINK1 is a mitochondrial-located serine/threonine kinase (PTK) that maintains organelle function and integrity. It not only protects organelles from cellular stress, but it also uses the selective auto-phagocytosis process for cleaning and... Read full blog post. |
