Mitochondria subcellular localization is dynamically regulated during migration. Here, the authors show that Arf6–AMAP1 dependent ILK localization at focal adhesions reduces mitochondrial retrograde trafficking in migratory cells and prevents mitochondrial aggregation and detrimental ROS production.
