Autophagy and LRRK2 in the Aging Brain [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Autophagy is a highly conserved process by which long-lived macromolecules, protein aggregates and dysfunctional/damaged organelles are delivered to lysosomes for degradation. Autophagy plays a crucial role in regulating protein quality control and cell homeostasis in response to energetic needs and environmental challenges.

Clinical Progression in Alpha‐Synuclein Positive LRRK2‐PD and Sporadic Parkinson's Disease: A Longitudinal Analysis

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background LRRK2‐Parkinson's disease (LRRK2‐PD) is biologically heterogeneous with approximately 30% lacking aggregated alpha synuclein (αSyn) in cerebrospinal fluid by seed amplification assay (SAA). Prior work has suggested slower progression in LRRK2‐PD compared to sporadic PD (sPD).

Impaired inflammatory responses in murine Lrrk2-knockdown brain microglia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
LRRK2, a Parkinson's disease associated gene, is highly expressed in microglia in addition to neurons; however, its function in microglia has not been evaluated.

Phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 in the mammalian brain is not altered by LRRK2 expression or pathogenic mutations.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are a common cause of autosomal dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PD). LRRK2 encodes a multi-domain protein containing GTPase and kinase enzymatic domains.

LRRK2 phosphorylation status and kinase activity regulate (macro)autophagy in a Rab8a/Rab10-dependent manner

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD), with growing importance also for Crohn’s disease and cancer.

Socio‐Occupational Functioning after Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Socio‐occupational functioning in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) is not fully captured by standard motor and quality‐of‐life scales. Objectives To characterize patient‐reported socio‐occupational functioning after STN‐DBS and explore associated clinical and ...

L'RRK de Triomphe: a solution for LRRK2 GTPase activity? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a central protein in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), yet its normal function has proved stubbornly hard to elucidate.

The IkappaB kinase family phosphorylates the Parkinson's disease kinase LRRK2 at Ser935 and Ser910 during Toll-like receptor signaling.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are strongly associated with late-onset autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 is highly expressed in immune cells and recent work points towards a link between LRRK2 and innate immunity.

A pathway for Parkinson's Disease LRRK2 kinase to block primary cilia and Sonic hedgehog signaling in the brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Parkinson’s disease-associated LRRK2 kinase phosphorylates multiple Rab GTPases, including Rab8A and Rab10. We show here that LRRK2 kinase interferes with primary cilia formation in cultured cells, human LRRK2 G2019S iPS cells and in the cortex of LRRK2 ...

The role of LRRK2 in cell signalling [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Society Transactions, 2018
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common late-onset neurodegenerative disorder known primarily for its motor features. Mutations and risk variants in LRRK2 cause familial and idiopathic forms of PD. Mutations segregating with disease are found in the LRRK2 GTPase and kinase domains, affecting catalytic activity and protein–protein ...
