LAMP2A exists in the lysosomal membrane as both monomers and higher-order oligomers that undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) to form membrane microdomains essential for SNCA recognition and translocation into the lysosomal lumen. Recent biophysical studies demonstrate that LAMP2A's cytosolic tail contains an intrinsically disordered region capable of mediating homotypic LLPS, creating lipid-raft-like microdomains enriched in chaperone-HSC70. In A9 dopaminergic neurons (vulnerable), LAM

LAMP2A protein levels are regulated post-translationally by the AAA+ ATPase torsinA, which mediates extraction of aged or damaged LAMP2A from the lysosomal membrane for degradation. This torsinA-dependent turnover normally maintains a young pool of LAMP2A with high translocation competence. In PD, SNCA oligomers bind directly to the LAMP2A cytosolic domain (residues 1-24), physically blocking the torsinA recognition motif without affecting LAMP2A's ability to form SNCA complexes. This creates a
