Familial PD genes and their potential role in mitochondrial dysfunction (modified from [5])
| Genes | Associated mitochondrial dysfunction | References |
|---|---|---|
| α-synuclein (Park1/4) |
Reduced Complex I activity and oxygen consumption rate Abnormal mitochondrial morphology, Ca2+ dyshomeostasis Abnormal ER-mitochondria transport |
[6–8] |
| Parkin (Park2) |
Reduced mitochondrial respiration, oxidative damage Mitochondrial functional integrity Reduced mitochondrial biogenesis Abnormal mitochondria High mitochondrial ROS |
[9–12] |
| PINK1 (Park6) |
Reduced electron transfer cascade enzyme function Reduced ATP production, Ca2+ dyshomeostasis Reduced mitochondrial function, fission Abnormal mitochondria and high mitochondrial ROS Abnormal mitochondrial Ca2+ handling |
[12–16] |
| DJ1 (Park7) |
Abnormal mitochondrial morphology Uncoupled mitochondria Glycolytic shift Mutants induce mitochondrial fragmentation |
[17–19] |
| LRRK2 (Park8) |
Reduced ATP production and membrane potential Abnormal mitochondrial fission/fusion Delayed Miro degradation and mitophagy |
[20–22] |
| ATP13A2 (Park9) | Mutant causes low mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, reduced ATP synthesis | [23] |
| HTRA2 (Park13) |
Mitochondrial morphological abnormalities Low respiration, increased sensitivity to apoptosis |
[24, 25] |
| FBXO7 (Park15) |
Impaired ubiquitin-proteasome system, reduced mitophagy leading to accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria Mitochondrial accumulation of aggregates |
[26, 27] |
