Autosomal recessive parkinsonism genes contribute to maintenance of mitochondrial function. Two of these, PINK1 and parkin, act in a pathway promoting autophagic removal of depolarized mitochondria. Although recruitment of parkin to mitochondria is PINK1-dependent, additional components necessary for signaling are unclear. We performed a screen for endogenous modifiers of parkin recruitment to depolarized mitochondria and identified hexokinase 2 (HK2) as a novel modifier of depolarization-induced parkin recruitment. Hexose kinase activity was required for parkin relocalization, suggesting the effects are shared among hexokinases including the brain-expressed hexokinase 1 (HK1). Knockdown of both HK1 and HK2 led to a stronger block in parkin relocalization than either isoform alone, and expression of HK2 in primary neurons promoted YFP-parkin recruitment to depolarized mitochondria. Mitochondrial parkin recruitment was attenuated with AKT inhibition, which is known to modulate HK2 activity and mitochondrial localization. We, therefore, propose that Akt-dependent recruitment of hexokinases is a required step in the recruitment of parkin prior to mitophagy.
