Show abstract
The mitochondrial kinase PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) initiates mitophagy in response to mitochondrial damage, yet mechanisms that constrain its activation under basal conditions remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify a non-canonical SUMO-2/3 modification of PINK1 that suppresses basal mitophagy. We show that the mitochondrial E3 ligase mitochondrial-anchored protein ligase (MAPL/MUL1) promotes PINK1 SUMO-2/3 modification, while MAPL depletion reduces SUMOylation and enhances basal mitophagy. Targeted deSUMOylation increases PINK1 stabilisation and augments mitophagy. These findings reveal a novel SUMO-based checkpoint for basal PINK1 activation and mitochondrial quality control.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
