PINK1 also regulates the activity of complex I of the ETC through NDUFA10 phosphorylation, and the neurological defects in pinkB9-null mutant Drosophila, a PD model, could be rescued by a phosphomimetic form of NdufA10 (ND-42) (Morais et al., 2014; Pogson et al., 2014). This evidence concerns the gene NDUFA10 and Parkinson disease.
