Summary of SND1-mediated mitophagy through PGAM5 during tumor progression. (A) Summary: SND1, as an evolutionarily conserved protein, is unexpectedly enriched in the outer and inner membranes of mitochondria through its MTS with the assistance of TOM70. In the mitochondria, SND1 binds to PGAM5 through its C-terminus and this interaction is crucial for SND1-mediated mitophagy, such as the degradation of MFN1, TIM23, and COX4, and dephosphorylation of p-DRP1S637. Finally, SND1-induced advantages of cell proliferation and tumor growth depend on PGAM5-mediated mitophagy and its mitochondrial localization.
