Mitophagy in ferroptosis. Mitophagy is a selective process that involves the autophagic clearance of damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria. The PINK1-PRKN pathway is a well-studied regulatory pathway for mitophagy. In this pathway, PINK1 recruits PRKN, which facilitates the degradation of mitochondria through mitophagy receptors such as FUNDC1. Mitochondrial fission induced by DNM1L/Drp1 can promote mitophagy-dependent ferroptosis. Additionally, the mitochondrial protein FTMT inhibits ROS production and ferroptosis.
