New Insights into the Role of Mitochondrial Dynamics and Autophagy during Oxidative Stress and Aging in the Heart

Mechanisms of mitophagy induction. Schema representing the main mechanisms of mitophagy induction. PINK1 accumulates in damaged mitochondria and phosphorylates mitofusin-2. Phosphorylated mitofusin-2 recruits parkin, which ubiquitinates several mitochondrial targets. Mitochondrial ubiquitination by parkin promotes mitophagy.
