Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The G2019S mutation in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a common cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and results in age-related dopamine neuron loss and locomotor dysfunction in Drosophila melanogaster through an aberrant increase in bulk neuronal protein synthesis. Under non-pathologic conditions, protein synthesis is tightly controlled by metabolic regulation. Whether nutritional and met...
