Abstract excerpt
A significant number of autosomal dominantly inherited Parkinson's disease (PD) cases are due to mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene. In cells, these pathogenic mutations have a number of differing effects on LRRK2 enzymatic activity and protein stability. In particular, five of the six described pathogenic LRRK2 mutations ablate the constitutive phosphorylation of LRRK2 on Ser910 and...
