Selective neuronal vulnerability in Parkinson disease.

TL;DR: The evidence for and against the spreading LP model are discussed, as well as evidence that cell-autonomous factors govern both α-syn pathology and neuronal death.

PINK1 and Parkin mitochondrial quality control: a source of regional vulnerability in Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: This review focuses on understanding the unique challenges faced by the mitochondria in neurons vulnerable to neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s and summarizes evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to disease pathogenesis and to cell death in these subpopulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Axonal transport: Driving synaptic function

TL;DR: Improved and complementary in vitro and in vivo imaging approaches are allowing the elucidation of increasingly intricate mechanisms by which the activities of dynein and kinesin motors regulate organelle transport along axons, which will provide a framework for the design of successful therapeutic interventions for both genetic and trauma-induced disruptions.

An Energy Budget for Signaling in the Grey Matter of the Brain

TL;DR: The estimates of energy usage predict the use of distributed codes, with ≤15% of neurons simultaneously active, to reduce energy consumption and allow greater computing power from a fixed number of neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein degradation and protection against misfolded or damaged proteins

TL;DR: A full understanding of the pathogenesis of the protein-folding diseases will require greater knowledge of how misfolded proteins are recognized and selectively degraded.

The ubiquitin kinase PINK1 recruits autophagy receptors to induce mitophagy

TL;DR: Using genome editing to knockout five autophagy receptors in HeLa cells, this work shows that two receptors previously linked to xenophagy, NDP52 and optineurin, are the primary receptors for PINK1- and parkin-mediated mitophagy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drosophila pink1 is required for mitochondrial function and interacts genetically with parkin.

TL;DR: Removal of Drosophila PINK1 homologue function results in male sterility, apoptotic muscle degeneration, defects in mitochondrial morphology and increased sensitivity to multiple stresses including oxidative stress, which underscores the importance of mitochondrial dysfunction as a central mechanism of Parkinson's disease pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial dysfunction in Drosophila PINK1 mutants is complemented by parkin

TL;DR: The genetic evidence clearly establishes that Parkin and PINK1 act in a common pathway in maintaining mitochondrial integrity and function in both muscles and dopaminergic neurons.
