Congratulations to Jin-mi, whose paper on TBK1 and RAB7A appeared recently in Science Advances. In this work, we identify S72 in RAB7A as a target of TBK1 in response to mitochondrial depolarization and activation of the PARKIN pathway for mitophagy. Heo et al., RAB7A phosphorylation by TBK1 promotes mitophagy via the PINK-PARKIN pathway. Science Advances (http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/11/eaav0443).
