19Mitochondrial failure caused by Parkin mutations contributes to Parkinson's disease. Parkin 20 binds, ubiquitinates, and targets impaired mitochondria for autophagic destruction. Robust 21 mitophagy involves peri-nuclear concentration of Parkin-tagged mitochondria, followed by 22 dissemination of juxtanuclear mitochondrial aggregates, and efficient sequestration of 23 individualized mitochondria by autophagosomes. Here, we report that the execution of complex 24 mitophagic events requires active mitochondrial lipid remodeling. Parkin recruits phospholipase 25 D2 to the depolarized mitochondria and generate phosphatidic acid (PA). Mitochondrial PA is 26 subsequently converted to diacylglycerol (DAG) by Lipin-1 phosphatase-a process that further 27 requires mitochondrial ubiquitination and ubiquitin-binding autophagic receptors, NDP52 and 28Optineurin. We show that Optineurin transports, via Golgi-derived vesicles, a PA-binding factor 29 EndoB1 to ubiquitinated mitochondria, thereby facilitating DAG production. Mitochondrial 30 DAG activates both F-actin assembly to drive mitochondrial individualization, and 31 autophagosome biogenesis to efficiently restrict impaired mitochondria. Thus Parkin, autophagic 32 receptors and the Golgi complex orchestrate mitochondrial lipid remodeling to execute robust 33 mitophagy. 34 35 36 37 38 39 3 17, 18 . Instead, p62 acts to coalesce ubiquitinated mitochondria into large aggregates at the 59 perinuclear region-a dramatic event yet without a clearly defined function 17, 18 . Recent evidence 60 4 further indicates that autophagosomes are actually synthesized "de novo" at or around 61 mitochondria tagged for destruction 15, 19, 20 . How Parkin and different autophagic receptors 62 coordinate local autophagosome biogenesis around condemned mitochondria to efficiently 63 execute mitophagy remains to be fully elucidated. 64 Intriguingly, when subject to massive uncoupling by CCCP, the large mitochondrial 65 populations tagged by Parkin are recognized and actively concentrated by microtubule-based 66 motors and form large perinuclear aggregates or inclusions 12, 21 . Perinuclear mitochondrial 67 inclusions have also been observed in neurons from PD patients 22, 23 , indicating that this process 68 is physiologically relevant. Juxtanuclear mitochondrial aggregates, or termed mito-aggresomes, 69 are subsequently dispersed into smaller units prior to their sequestration by autophagosomes 70 (mitophagosomes) and eventual degradation 11 . Electron microscopy has revealed that some 71 perinuclear mitochondria concentrated by Parkin and PINK1 are fused 21 . These findings imply 72 that dissemination of perinuclear mitochondrial aggregates would require active "de-73 aggregation" and "fission" of mitochondria. Thus, the disposal of impaired mitochondria 74 involves elaborate temporal and spatial regulation orchestrated by Parkin. How Parkin 75 coordinates these events to achieve robust mitophagy is not well understood. 76In this report, we present evidence that the recruitment of Parkin t...
