Function

The protein expressed by the gene LRRK2 is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that phosphorylates a wide range of proteins involved in neuronal plasticity, autophagy, and vesicle trafficking. It serves as a key regulator of RAB GTPases by affecting the GTP/GDP exchange and interaction partners of RABs through phosphorylation, targeting proteins like RAB3A, RAB3B, and others. LRRK2 manages the GDP/GTP exchange for RAB8A by phosphorylating 'Thr-72', inhibiting RAB8A's interaction with GDI1/GDI2, and influencing primary ciliogenesis to enhance SHH signaling in the brain. It works with RAB29 in retromer-dependent recycling of proteins between lysosomes and the Golgi. The protein is involved in shaping neuronal morphology in the CNS, synaptic vesicle trafficking, and recruiting SEC16A to assist in ER to Golgi transport. It enhances autophagy via the CaMKK/AMPK pathway and relates to nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate receptors and lysosomal activity. LRRK2 phosphorylates PRDX3 and APP, influencing neuron apoptosis. Independently, it inhibits MAPT degradation, fostering MAPT oligomerization. Additionally, LRRK2 possesses GTPase activity that regulates its kinase activity. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Notes

This antibody was developed with support of The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) with the assistance of a consortium of investigators to help accelerate LRRK2 research.

LRRK2 (Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, dardarin) is a multi-domain protein belonging to the ROCO family of proteins that contains a kinase and GTPase domain among its many protein interaction domains. LRRK2 is mutated in a significant number of Parkinson's disease(PD) patients. Mutations in this gene account for 4% of PD, and are observed in 1% of sporadic PD patients. The most common mutation replaces glycine 2019 with a serine that results in increased LRRK2 kinase activity. This indicates that inhibitors of LRRK2 kinase activity might be of therapeutic benefit for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and has stimulated much activity in this field of research. Based upon mass spectrometry findings, a number of other residues within LRRK2 have also been found to be phosphorylated as well.
Currently, the physiological relevance of these phospho-sites is not clear. Thus with the generation of this phospho-specific antibody, it is MJFF's hope that investigators may have at hand a critical tool to assist in their research endeavors that might thereby lend further clarity to the field of LRRK2 and its role in PD pathogenesis.

Activity summary

The protein LRRK2 also known as leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 or dardarin is an enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 286 kDa. It functions as a kinase meaning it adds phosphate groups to other proteins which affects their activity. LRRK2 is expressed in various tissues but it is highly abundant in the brain especially in regions such as the striatum and cortex. It has a significant role in cellular signaling processes due to its phosphorylation activity.

Biological function summary

LRRK2 interacts with cellular mechanisms by regulating cytoskeletal dynamics autophagy and vesicle trafficking. It is a part of a larger complex that includes other proteins involved in these processes. The kinase activity of LRRK2 plays an essential part in maintaining neuronal health and function. It influences the process of autophagy which is a way cells clean themselves by removing damaged components and recycling them.

Pathways

The action of LRRK2 is central to the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways. In these pathways LRRK2 interacts with other proteins such as mTOR and RPS6KB1. It modulates cellular processes like growth proliferation and response to stressors. Its kinase activity affects the phosphorylation state of targets within the pathways hence influencing biological outcomes like survival and apoptosis.

Associated diseases and disorders

LRRK2 mutations have a significant connection to Parkinson's disease and Crohn's disease. In Parkinson's disease mutated LRRK2 leads to abnormal protein aggregation linking to proteins such as alpha-synuclein. For Crohn's disease LRRK2 influences the immune response and intestinal inflammation. These connections highlight LRRK2's role in the pathogenesis and contribute to understanding these complex disorders.
