Further supporting the functional interaction of Miro1 with other PD gene products linked to mitochondrial quality control, previous findings also showed that Miro1 physically interacts with PINK1 and is phosphorylated by the kinase on the serine 156, which could represent a signal for the following ubiquitination by Parkin (7, 65). The gene discussed is PRKN; the disease is Parkinson disease.
