Abstract
PINK1 activation on damaged mitochondria triggering Parkin-mediated mitophagy is achieved by PINK1 import arrest within mitochondria. Sekine et al. show that this process involves competition between two mitochondrial proteins, Tom7 and OMA1, where a specific motif in PINK1 plays an important role, and describe its pathophysiologic relevance in Parkinson's disease.
