BNIP3/NIX-mediated mitophagy versus Parkin-mediated mitophagy: mechanistic differences and functional implications.

Mitophagy is a form of selective autophagy in which an isolation membrane (IM or phagophore) sequesters damaged or superfluous mitochondria for lysosomal degradation. Recent advances in receptor-mediated mitophagy, particularly the BNIP3/NIX-mediated mitophagy, have highlighted the importance of this pathway in mitochondrial regulation across various biological settings, along with the well-established Parkin-mediated pathway. Parkin-mediated mitophagy senses mitochondrial damage through loss of membrane potential, whereas BNIP3/NIX-mediated mitophagy plays an important role in basal or physio

Mitochondrial quality in aging and neurodegeneration: The emerging role of mitochondria-derived vesicles.

Mitochondria are central to cellular energy metabolism, redox balance, and signaling, and their integrity is maintained by a multilayered mitochondrial quality control (MQC) system. This system includes proteostasis, dynamics, biogenesis, and mitophagy, which together repair or remove damaged organelles. Mitochondria-derived vesicles (MDVs) have emerged as an additional MQC component. MDVs are small vesicles that bud from mitochondria and selectively transport damaged mitochondrial proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids to endolysosomal compartments or other intracellular destinations, enabling r
