LRRK2
Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2; EC 2.7.11.1) is a promising therapeutic target for some forms of Parkinson’s disease. because of a missense mutation, G2019S, that is frequently found not only in familial but also sporadic Parkinson’s disease cases. The LRRK2 G2019S mutation enhances kinase activity, suggesting that small molecule inhibitors may be able to block aberrant LRRK2-dependent signaling in Parkinson’s disease[1]. However, the physiological function of LRRK2 kinase as well as its endogenous protein substrates remains poorly understood. There have been several papers describing potential cellular substrates as well as endogenous functions for this complex protein in the mammalian neuron. Potential substrates include ezrin, radixin moesin (ERM) proteins, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E)-binding protein (4E-BP), futsch, autophosphorylation, and 14-3-3 proteins[2].
