Pathogenic mutations in LRRK2 sequester Rab8a to damaged lysosomes and regulate transferrin-mediated iron uptake in microglia
2020-07-27
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) cause autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD) while polymorphic LRRK2 variants are associated with sporadic PD. PD-linked mutations increase LRRK2 kinase activity and induce neurotoxicity in vitro and in vivo . The small GTPase Rab8a is a LRRK2 kinase substrate and is involved in receptor-mediated recycling and endocytic trafficking of transferrin, but the ef...
