Impaired mitochondrial–endoplasmic reticulum interaction and mitophagy in Miro1-mutant neurons in Parkinson’s disease
3 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1 (Miro1) protein is a well-known adaptor for mitochondrial transport and also regulates mitochondrial quality control and function. Furthermore, Miro1 was associated with mitochondrial-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites (MERCs), which are key regulators of cellular calcium homeostasis and the initiation of autophagy. Impairments of these mechanisms were linked to neurodegeneration...
