PINK1-mediated phosphorylation of LETM1 regulates mitochondrial calcium transport and protects neurons against mitochondrial stress

Mutations in the mitochondrial kinase PINK1 result in familial Parkinson’s disease. Here the authors show that LETM1, a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, is a substrate of PINK1 that regulates Ca2+ handling in mitochondria in response to mitochondrial toxins.
