Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD), like many common age-related conditions, has been recognized to have a substantial genetic component. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a crucial factor to understanding the etiology of PD. LRRK2 is a large, widely expressed, multi-domain and multifunctional protein. LRRK2 mutations are the major cause to inherited and sporadic PD. In this review, we discuss the pathology and clinical features which show diversity and variability of LRRK2-associated PD. In addition, we do a thorough literature review and provide theoretical data for gene counseling. Further, we present the evidence linking LRRK2 to various possible pathogenic mechanism of PD such as α-synuclein, tau, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, synaptic dysfunction as well as autophagy-lysosomal system. Based on the above work, we investigate activities both within GTPase and outside enzymatic regions in order to obtain a potential therapeutic approach to solve the LRRK2 problem.

Figure 2 LRRK2-mediated the phosphorylation of tubulin-associated tau LRRK2 interacts with tubulin-associated tau, resulting in the formation of a tripartite complex. The interaction between LRRK2 and β-tubulin is mediated by the LRRK2 Roc domain and β-tubulin C termini. Tubulin-associated tau was phosphorylated by LRRK2. LRRK2 interacted directly with GSK-3β, and that His–GSK-3β bound to the kinase domain of LRRK2 (thick line). Phosphorylation of tau by GSK-3β was stimulated by LRRK2 (thin arrow). P.G2019S-LRRK2 had higher binding affinity for GSK-3β and showed much stronger stimulatory activity (thick line and arrow).

Figure 3 The possible pathogenic mechanism links LRRK2 and Parkinson’s disease α-synuclein, tau, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, synaptic dysfunction and autophagy-lysosomal system all take part in the pathogenic of PD. Open and filled arrows show positive (activating) and negative (suppressing) interactions, respectively.

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.
