Differential effects of familial parkinson mutations in LRRK2 revealed by a systematic analysis of autophosphorylation.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene have been identified in pedigrees of autosomal-dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PARK8). It has been shown that the kinase activity of LRRK2 is required for its neuronal toxicity, although how familial Parkinson mutations affect the function of LRRK2 has not been well characterized. In the present study, we systematically characterized the...
