Loss of function mutations of the PINK1 kinase cause familial early-onset
Parkinson’s disease. PINK1 is activated upon mitochondrial damage to
phosphorylate Ubiquitin and Parkin to trigger removal of damaged mitochondria
by autophagy (mitophagy). PINK1 also indirectly phosphorylates a subset of Rab
GTPases including Rab8A. We have performed a siRNA screen of all human
Ser/Thr kinases in HeLa cells and discovered the integrated stress respo...
