MIC60 relays oxidation to block mitophagy

Nature Metabolism volume 3, pages 1146–1147 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Clearance of dMiro from the outer mitochondrial membrane is a prerequisite for mitophagy of dysfunctional mitochondria. Li et al. find that oxidative stress stabilizes dMiro via its interaction with dMIC60. Dissociating this complex by genetic or pharmacologic interventions counteracts neurological aging in flies.
