Schematic illustration of the interaction between HDAC6 and Miro1. Nonpermissive substrates like MAG and CSPGs activate RhoA/ROCK, increase intracellular calcium, and induce the deacetylation of Miro1 at lysine 105 (K105). This decreases mitochondrial axonal transport and inhibits the outgrowth of the axonal growth cone. Selective inhibition of the deacetylase activity of HDAC6 using tubastatin A restores axonal transport, as well as all the other phenotypes. While the interaction with kinesin-1 is responsible for anterograde transport of the mitochondria, a similar mechanism might also be present for the retrograde transport machinery.
