    Individual data from previous publications (systematic review). Numbers indicate disease duration at first reported or observed symptom. Data in parentheses are successive or vaguely specified development or data unspecifically described. *Symptoms reported by patient or relative. #Unreliable data owing to possible pharmacological cause (neuroleptics). §Data too imprecisely reported to be included in calculations.

    Additional file 4: Table S2. of The PINK1 p.I368N mutation affects protein stability and ubiquitin kinase activity

    FoldX measurement for mutational energy effect on stability of binding pocket. Using the FoldX algorithm, which compares the WT structure with the mutant, calculations on WT and mutant at t = 0 and after 100 ns were performed. While WT is nearly zero over that time interval, the N368 mutant increases energy (∆∆G) by 1.5–2 kcal/mol*Å2. This modest increase supports that the mutation distorts the local region via an increase of Gibb’s free energy. (DOCX 16 kb

    Reduced full-length PINK1 levels in p.I368N mutant fibroblasts upon treatment with valinomycin. (A) Representative confocal IF images of control and two PINK1 p.I368N fibroblasts showing mitochondrial localization but greatly reduced levels of the mutant protein. Cells were left untreated (-) or treated with 10 μM CCCP for 6 days (+) and stained with antibodies against PINK1 (green) and TOM20 (mitochondria, red). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bars represent 10 μm. (B) Subcellular fractionation of WT control and PINK1 p.I368N fibroblasts treated with or without 1 μM valinomycin for 24 h. Despite different protein levels, both WT and p.I368N mutant full-length PINK1 localized to the mitochondrial fraction. A shift of PARKIN into higher molecular weights species indicative of PINK1-dependent activation was not observed in lysates from PINK1 p.I368N mutant cells. Purity of the mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions was determined using antibodies recognizing TOM20 and p38 MAPK, respectively. PNS denotes post-nuclear supernatant. (C) Control and two PINK1 p.I368N fibroblasts were treated with 1 μM valinomycin for 0, 2, 4 or 8 h and total lysates were analyzed by WB with indicated antibodies. GAPDH served as a loading control. Similar to CCCP treatment (Fig. 3b), rapid stabilization of full-length PINK1 along with an increase of p-Ser65-Ub levels was observed in control cells, but not in PINK1 p.I368N mutant fibroblasts. (D) Representative Images obtained with a 20x magnification on the BD pathway 855 system. Control fibroblasts and PINK1 I368N cells were seeded in 96-well imaging plates and treated with valinomycin as indicated. Cells were fixed and stained with p-S65-Ub antibodies (green) and Hoechst (blue). Scale bars indicate 10 μm. (TIF 13839 kb
