Dual-Mechanism Model: G2019S Increases Both Baseline AND Signal-Dependent Phosphorylation (H2)
🧪 Overview
G2019S has two separable effects: (1) increases catalytic efficiency at baseline (higher floor), AND (2) increases LRRK2 membrane affinity upon lysosomal stress, amplifying volume-sensing signals. These may be pharmacologically separable. Membrane-association mutants could distinguish these mechanisms.
