“…In this regard, it is similar to the reversible change in kinesin–Miro interaction that underlies Ca 2+ -mediated arrest of mitochondria or the transient shedding of motor proteins that occurs during mitosis ( Chung et al, 2016 ; Wang and Schwarz, 2009 ) or in response to inhibitory substrates for axon growth ( Kalinski et al, 2019 ). The FHL2-dependent mechanism stands in contrast to the irreversible dissolution of the motor–adaptor complex that occurs when the PINK1/Parkin pathway causes the degradation of Miro on damaged mitochondria ( Course et al, 2018 ; Newman and Shadel, 2018 ; Pickrell and Youle, 2015 ; Wang et al, 2011 ). Elucidating the different ways by which the motor–adaptor complex, and thereby mitochondrial motility, is fine-tuned is essential to explain the normal distribution of mitochondria and to understand the pathological states that arise from its misregulation ( Devine and Kittler, 2018 ; Mattson et al, 2008 ; Misgeld and Schwarz, 2017 ; Pickrell and Youle, 2015 ; Schwarz, 2013 ; Vanhauwaert et al, 2019 ).…”
