T1 |
0-125 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Ser1292 autophosphorylation is an indicator of LRRK2 kinase activity and contributes to the cellular effects of PD mutations. |
T2 |
126-248 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are the most common cause of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). |
T3 |
249-447 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Although biochemical studies have shown that certain PD mutations confer elevated kinase activity in vitro on LRRK2, there are no methods available to directly monitor LRRK2 kinase activity in vivo. |
T4 |
448-618 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
We demonstrate that LRRK2 autophosphorylation on Ser(1292) occurs in vivo and is enhanced by several familial PD mutations including N1437H, R1441G/C, G2019S, and I2020T. |
T5 |
619-703 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Combining two PD mutations together further increases Ser(1292) autophosphorylation. |
T6 |
704-855 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Mutation of Ser(1292) to alanine (S1292A) ameliorates the effects of LRRK2 PD mutations on neurite outgrowth in cultured rat embryonic primary neurons. |
T7 |
856-960 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Using cell-based and pharmacodynamic assays with phosphorylated Ser(1292) as the readout, we developed a |
T8 |
961-984 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
brain-penetrating LRRK2 |
T9 |
985-1124 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
kinase inhibitor that blocks Ser(1292) autophosphorylation in vivo and attenuates the cellular consequences of LRRK2 PD mutations in vitro. |
T10 |
1125-1305 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
These data suggest that Ser(1292) autophosphorylation may be a useful indicator of LRRK2 kinase activity in vivo and may contribute to the cellular effects of certain PD mutations. |
