LRRK2 G2019S Uncouples RAB29-Dependent Spatial Control from Kinase Activity (H7)
🧪 Overview
Normally RAB29 recruits LRRK2 specifically to stressed lysosomes for localized RAB10 phosphorylation. G2019S increases kinase activity even in cytosolic/untargeted LRRK2, creating diffuse RAB10 phosphorylation that disrupts normal endosomal trafficking. RAB29 overexpression rescuing G2019S phenotypes suggests spatial control not completely uncoupled.
