Pantothenate kinase 2 interacts with PINK1 to regulate mitochondrial quality control via acetyl-CoA metabolism

PKAN and PD are two distinct diseases with overlapping pathophysiology. Here, authors show that their pathogenic genes PANK2 and PINK1 interact. PANK2 regulates mitophagy via CoA metabolism, while PINK1 supervises PANK2 translation on mitochondria.
