Abstract

Mutations enhancing the kinase activity of leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2) cause Parkinson's disease (PD) and therapies that reduce LRRK2 kinase activity are being tested in clinical trials. Numerous rare variants of unknown clinical significance have been reported, but how the vast majority impact on LRRK2 function is unknown. Here, we investigate 100 LRRK2 variants linked to PD, including previously described pathogenic mutations. We identify 23 LRRK2 variants that robustly stimulate kinase activity, including variants within the N-terminal non-catalytic regions (ARM (E334K, A419V), ANK (R767H), LRR (R1067Q, R1325Q)), as well as variants predicted to destabilize the ROC:CORB interface (ROC (A1442P, V1447M), CORA (R1628P) CORB (S1761R, L1795F)) and COR:COR dimer interface (CORB (R1728H/L)). Most activating variants decrease LRRK2 biomarker site phosphorylation (pSer935/pSer955/pSer973), consistent with the notion that the active kinase conformation blocks their phosphorylation. We conclude that the impact of variants on kinase activity is best evaluated by deploying a cellular assay of LRRK2-dependent Rab10 substrate phosphorylation, compared with a biochemical kinase assay, as only a minority of activating variants (CORB (Y1699C, R1728H/L, S1761R) and kinase (G2019S, I2020T, T2031S)), enhance in vitro kinase activity of immunoprecipitated LRRK2. Twelve variants including several that activate LRRK2 and have been linked to PD, suppress microtubule association in the presence of a Type I kinase inhibitor (ARM (M712V), LRR (R1320S), ROC (A1442P, K1468E, S1508R), CORA (A1589S), CORB (Y1699C, R1728H/L) and WD40 (R2143M, S2350I, G2385R)). Our findings will stimulate work to better understand the mechanisms by which variants impact biology and provide rationale for variant carrier inclusion or exclusion in ongoing and future LRRK2 inhibitor clinical trials.

(A) LRRK2 domain structure highlighting 100 PD and CD-associated variants within the armadillo (ARM), ankyrin (ANK), leucine rich repeats (LRR), Ras of complex proteins (ROC), C-terminal of ROC A and B (CORA, CORB), kinase (KIN), and WD40 domains. The LRRK2 variants located in the linker region between the HH and LRR domain are listed in black. (B) Workflow schematic outlining the characterization of the selected LRRK2 variants in a HEK293 overexpression system, followed by quantitative immunoblotting and quantitation of LRRK2 activity relative to wildtype LRRK2. (C) FLAG-tagged LRRK2 wildtype, kinase dead (KD = D2017A), and the indicated variants were transiently expressed in HEK293 cells. Twenty-four hours post-transfection, cells were lysed and analyzed by quantitative immunoblotting (as in Supplementary Figure S2A). Quantified immunoblotting data are presented as ratios of pRab10Thr73/total Rab10, normalized to the average of LRRK2 wildtype values for each replicate (mean ± SD). Combined immunoblotting data from up to six independent biological replicates are shown. Dashed lines segment the graphs into corresponding regions of LRRK2 as listed in the domain schematic.

Figure 9. Correlation between activating LRRK2 mutations and high REVEL pathogenicity prediction or high evolutionary amino acid conservation scores. (A) Schematic summarizing biochemical data of 100 LRRK2 variants and categorization of variants based on Rab10 phosphorylation, LRRK2 Ser1292 phosphorylation, and biomarker phosphorylation. Variants that enhance in vitro LRRK2 kinase activity or block MLi-2 induced microtubule binding are marked with a superscript highlighted in red. (B) REVEL scores for LRRK2 variants were acquired from Bryant et al. [41] or through the online pathogenicity prediction tool http://database.liulab.science/dbNSFP. REVEL scores were plotted against phospho-Rab10/total Rab10 ratios acquired for each LRRK2 variant that were normalized to wildtype. High activity variants (pRab10Thr73 > 1.5-fold relative to wildtype) are marked in green, low activity variants (similar to kinase-inactive LRRK2) are marked in red, protective variants are marked in yellow, and variants that block MLi-2 induced microtubule binding are represented with an open circle. The REVEL pathogenicity threshold is marked with a dashed line (0.6). Above this line are variants predicted to be ‘likely pathogenic or damaging,' and variants below this line are predicted to be ‘likely benign.' (C) LRRK2 orthologue sequences were acquired from OrthoDB. Orthologue sequences were aligned using MAFFT. The multiple sequence alignment of LRRK2 orthologues was submitted to the ConSurf server to determine evolutionary conservation scores for LRRK2 amino acids (1 is low conservation and 9 is high conservation). Conservation scores were plotted against pRab10Thr73/total Rab10 ratios acquired for each LRRK2 variant that were normalized to wildtype. Activating variants (pRab10Thr73 > 1.5-fold relative to wildtype) are marked in green, low activity variants (similar to kinase-inactive LRRK2) are marked in red, protective variants are marked in yellow, and variants that block MLi-2 induced microtubule binding are represented with an open circle.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
