Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

RHOT1/Miro1 is an outer mitochondrial membrane Rho-GTPase that functions as the master scaffold coupling mitochondria to cytoskeletal motors and thereby controls activity-dependent organelle positioning at sites of high energy demand (PMID:19249275, PMID:28615318). Through GTPase-dependent recruitment of the TRAK adaptors (Grif-1/TRAK2, TRAK1), Miro1 links mitochondria to kinesin (KIF5) and dynein motors to drive bidirectional axonal and microtubule-based transport, with cryo-EM resolving TRAK1 docking at two sites spanning the nGTPase, EF-hand pairs, and cGTPase, and the first GTPase domain dictating transport directionality (PMID:19249275, PMID:19103291, PMID:24092329, PMID:24492963, PMID:40615373, PMID:32637409). Miro1 also serves as the mitochondrial receptor for the actin motor myosin XIX, binding its C-terminal tail in a GTPase-state-dependent manner and stabilizing the motor (PMID:30111583). Its two EF-hand calcium-binding domains act as cytosolic Ca2+ sensors that disrupt the Miro1/KIF5/tubulin complex to halt mitochondrial movement and drive a fission-independent mitochondrial shape transition required for mitophagy initiation, enabling repositioning of mitochondria at presynaptic terminals and astrocytic processes for homeostatic plasticity and Ca2+ signaling (PMID:19249275, PMID:29694881, PMID:28039205, PMID:26631479). Beyond transport, Miro1 organizes mitochondria-ER contact sites and mitochondrial Ca2+ handling, restrains MFN-mediated outer-membrane fusion under elevated Ca2+, and through splice variants and a transmembrane-domain interaction with Pex19 also localizes to peroxisomes to regulate their motility and Drp1-dependent fission (PMID:40214436, PMID:34431132, PMID:29222186, PMID:31894645). By positioning mitochondria peripherally, Miro1 establishes local ATP and H2O2 gradients that support actin dynamics, focal adhesion assembly, and cell migration (PMID:28615318, PMID:33341544). Miro1 is a direct substrate of the PINK1/Parkin mitophagy pathway: activated Parkin ubiquitylates Miro1 at multiple conserved lysines in a PINK1-Ser65-phosphorylation-dependent manner, with a conserved Parkin Ubl-RING0 linker region mediating the Miro1 interaction and rapid ubiquitination needed for Parkin recruitment to damaged mitochondria (PMID:24647965, PMID:40576561). Failure to remove Miro1 from depolarized mitochondria blocks mitophagy and is a common feature of Parkinson's disease patient cells, and the PD-associated EF-hand mutation R272Q impairs calcium buffering, disrupts bioenergetics and ER-mitochondria tethering, elevates α-synuclein, and causes dopaminergic neuron loss in iPSC and knock-in mouse models (PMID:31564441, PMID:32280985, PMID:36533136, PMID:39913247).

2025 Patient-derived iPSC neurons and knock-in mice expressing Miro1 p.R272Q (murine orthologue p.R285Q) show increased oxidative stress, disrupted mitochondrial bioenergetics, elevated α-synuclein levels, calcium-dependent calpain activation with α-synuclein cleavage, and significant dopaminergic neuron loss with phospho-α-synuclein accumulation in striatum. iPSC-derived midbrain organoids and dopaminergic neurons (isogenic controls), Miro1 p.R285Q knock-in mice, metabolic assays, Ca2+ measurements, calpain activity assays, immunohistochemistry, behavioral analysis Brain : a journal of neurology High 39913247
2025 Miro1 accumulates in skeletal muscle of obese/T2D mice and humans due to impaired insulin-mediated AKT–Miro1 interaction at the outer mitochondrial membrane. Muscle-specific Miro1 deletion improves insulin action and mitochondrial oxidative capacity. Exercise training reduces skeletal muscle Miro1 accumulation in T2D patients, correlating with improved insulin sensitivity. Human clinical exercise intervention (randomized, N=24 T2D patients), muscle-specific Miro1 KO mice, AKT-Miro1 interaction assays, metabolic/insulin sensitivity measurements, Seahorse respirometry medRxivpreprint Medium 41030931
2025 MIRO1 maintains mitochondrial cristae integrity and ETC complex I activity and super-complex formation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), enabling PDGF-stimulated ATP production for G1/S cell-cycle progression. A MIRO1 mutant lacking EF hands (Ca2+-sensing) only partially rescues these effects, indicating that both mitochondrial positioning (EF-hand-dependent) and cristae integrity (EF-hand-independent) contribute to VSMC proliferation. Smooth-muscle-specific Miro1 KO mice, VSMC KD, mitochondrial cristae electron microscopy, ETC complex activity assays, cell-cycle analysis, ATP measurements, human coronary artery VSMC knockdown bioRxivpreprint Medium 39185180
2025 MIRO1 is required for dynamic increases in mitochondria-ER contact sites (MERCs) during G1/S cell-cycle progression. MIRO1 interacts with GRP75 (detected by proximity-ligation assay with VDAC1-IP3R at MERCs). MIRO1 EF-hand and transmembrane domain mutants fail to rescue cell proliferation or MERC formation. MIRO1 deficiency blocks G1/S transition and impairs ER Ca2+ release and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. Fibroblast-specific Miro1 KO, proximity-ligation assay, split-GFP ER/mitochondria contact assay, mitochondrial Ca2+/ATP measurements, MIRO1 domain mutants, cell cycle analysis Cells Medium 40214436
2016 In Xenopus embryos, the mitochondrial GTPase Rhot1 regulates microtubule-dependent mitochondrial trafficking required for aggregation of germinal granule components during primordial germ cell formation. Dominant-negative Rhot1ΔC (lacking transmembrane domain) inhibited germline-mitochondria aggregation and prevented germinal granule component aggregation, reducing PGC number.

2022 Miro1 depletion in mouse oocytes via oocyte-specific KO disrupts mitochondrial spatial distribution (causing perinuclear and cortical aggregates) and reduces polar body extrusion by ~20%, implicating Miro1 as a mitochondrial adaptor setting mitochondrial distribution in oocytes.

2025 MIRO1 associates with cytoskeleton and cell cycle proteins (by mass spectrometry), regulates dynein motor for MTOC dynamics at the GV stage (determining meiotic resumption), and regulates Aurora A and KIF11 for meiotic spindle assembly in porcine and mouse oocytes. MIRO1 also interacts with DRP1, Parkin, and LAMP2 for mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy during oocyte meiosis. Mass spectrometry, siRNA/morpholino knockdown, rescue by Miro1 mRNA injection, immunofluorescence of spindle/MTOC/mitochondria in mouse and porcine oocytes Science China.

2021 Miro1 conditional deletion in parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons in mice impairs Miro1-directed mitochondrial trafficking, alters mitochondrial distribution and axonal arborization of PV+ interneurons, increases hippocampal γ-oscillation frequency ex vivo, and promotes anxiolysis, without abolishing PV+ interneuron-mediated inhibition. Cre-mediated Miro1 KO in PV+ interneurons, live and fixed imaging, ex vivo hippocampal γ-oscillation recording, behavioral assays eLife Medium 34190042
2025 Miro1 N-terminal GTPase domain activity is required for ER-mitochondria contact (ERMC) formation in differentiating neurons. Glucocorticoid-induced downregulation of Miro1 impairs ERMC formation and increases Drp1 Ser616 phosphorylation (promoting fission). Miro1 overexpression restores ERMC formation, increases mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, and reduces Drp1-Ser616 phosphorylation. AAV-mediated expression of Miro1 WT and N-terminal GTPase mutant (P26V) in hippocampal neurons of prenatally stressed mice, hiPSC-derived neurons, Drp1 phosphorylation analysis, ERMC imaging Cell communication and signaling Medium 40176126
2014 CK2β (regulatory subunit of Casein Kinase II) promotes PINK1-cytoplasmic isoform (PINK1-cyto)/Parkin-mediated degradation of Miro1, independent of CK2α.
