Supplementary information

The PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is a serine/threonine-protein kinase with a molecular weight of approximately 63 kDa. It plays a significant role in mitochondrial quality control through its kinase activity. PINK1 gets expressed in various tissues with a high presence in the brain. The protein localizes to the outer membrane of damaged mitochondria to initiate mitophagy an important cellular process for clearing dysfunctional mitochondria.
Biological function summary

The PINK1 protein detects mitochondrial damage and recruits Parkin an E3 ubiquitin ligase to the damaged mitochondria. This interaction leads to the ubiquitylation of mitochondrial substrates and triggers their degradation. PINK1 Parkin and other proteins form a complex that facilitates the removal of damaged mitochondria through autophagy. This mechanism ensures cellular health and energy balance by maintaining a pool of functional mitochondria.

Pathways

PINK1 integrates into the mitochondrial quality control and mitophagy pathways. It has a fundamental role in the PINK1-Parkin pathway which is critical for maintaining mitochondrial integrity. In this pathway PINK1 phosphorylates both ubiquitin and Parkin enhancing Parkin's E3 ligase activity. Another pathway that PINK1 participates in is the PTEN-induced kinase pathway where it regulates mitochondrial dynamics and homeostasis via cross-talk with other mitochondrial proteins such as DJ-1 and LRRK2.

PINK1 mutations are strongly associated with familial Parkinson's disease attributing to its role in preserving neuronal function through mitochondrial regulation. Deficient PINK1 function leads to accumulation of damaged mitochondria contributing to neuronal cell death. Additionally PINK1 dysfunction is implicated in Alzheimer's disease as impaired mitochondrial clearance is a contributing factor. Here the PINK1 interaction with other proteins like Parkin and DJ-1 highlights its importance in neurodegenerative disorders.

Target data

Serine/threonine-protein kinase which acts as a sensor of mitochondrial damage and protects against mitochondrial dysfunction during cellular stress (PubMed : 40080546). It phosphorylates mitochondrial proteins to coordinate mitochondrial quality control mechanisms that remove and replace dysfunctional mitochondrial components (PubMed : 14607334, PubMed : 15087508, PubMed : 18443288, PubMed : 18957282, PubMed : 19229105, PubMed : 19966284, PubMed : 20404107, PubMed : 20547144, PubMed : 20798600, PubMed : 22396657, PubMed : 23620051, PubMed : 23754282, PubMed : 23933751, PubMed : 24660806, PubMed : 24751536, PubMed : 24784582, PubMed : 24896179, PubMed : 24898855, PubMed : 25527291, PubMed : 32484300). In healthy mitochondria, PINK1 is translocated across the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) via the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) complex, and inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane (MIM) via the translocase of the inner membrane (TIM23) complex where it is cleaved and released into the cytosol (PubMed : 40080546). Depending on the severity of mitochondrial damage, activity ranges from preventing apoptosis and stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis to eliminating severely damaged mitochondria via PINK1-PRKN-dependent mitophagy (PubMed : 14607334, PubMed : 15087508, PubMed : 18443288, PubMed : 19966284, PubMed : 20404107, PubMed : 20798600, PubMed : 22396657, PubMed : 23620051, PubMed : 23933751, PubMed : 24898855, PubMed : 32047033, PubMed : 32484300). When cellular stress results in irreversible mitochondrial damage, PINK1 accumulates at the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) where it phosphorylates pre-existing polyubiquitin chains at 'Ser-65', recruits PRKN from the cytosol to the OMM and activates PRKN by phosphorylation at 'Ser-65'; activated PRKN then ubiquitinates VDAC1 and other OMM proteins to initiate mitophagy (PubMed : 14607334, PubMed : 15087508, PubMed : 19966284, PubMed : 20404107, PubMed : 20798600, PubMed : 23754282, PubMed : 23933751, PubMed : 24660806, PubMed : 24751536, PubMed : 24784582, PubMed : 25474007, PubMed : 25527291, PubMed : 32047033, PubMed : 40080546). The PINK1-PRKN pathway also promotes fission of damaged mitochondria through phosphorylation and PRKN-dependent degradation of mitochondrial proteins involved in fission such as MFN2 (PubMed : 18443288, PubMed : 23620051, PubMed : 24898855). This prevents the refusion of unhealthy mitochondria with the mitochondrial network or initiates mitochondrial fragmentation facilitating their later engulfment by autophagosomes (PubMed : 18443288, PubMed : 23620051). Also promotes mitochondrial fission independently of PRKN and ATG7-mediated mitophagy, via the phosphorylation and activation of DNM1L (PubMed : 18443288, PubMed : 32484300). Regulates motility of damaged mitochondria by promoting the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of MIRO1 and MIRO2; in motor neurons, this likely inhibits mitochondrial intracellular anterograde transport along the axons which probably increases the chance of the mitochondria undergoing mitophagy in the soma (PubMed : 22396657). Required for ubiquinone reduction by mitochondrial complex I by mediating phosphorylation of complex I subunit NDUFA10 (By similarity). Phosphorylates LETM1, positively regulating its mitochondrial calcium transport activity (PubMed : 29123128).
