Summary

It is found that Parkin is recruited to damaged cardiac mitochondria in hearts after treatment with the mitochondrial uncoupler FCCP or after a myocardial infarction even in the absence of PINK1, and alternative mechanisms of Parkin activation and pathways of mitophagy remain functional in Pink1-/- myocytes and could compensate for the PINK 1 deficiency.
