Impact of 100 LRRK2 variants linked to Parkinson’s Disease on kinase activity and microtubule binding

Abstract: Mutations enhancing the kinase activity of 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 98 LRRK2 variants linked to PD, including previously described pathogenic mutations, and identify 22 variants that robustly stimulate LRRK2 kinase activity. These include variants within the… Show more

“…Mutations in the LRRK2 gene, which encodes the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) protein, are one of the most frequent genetic causes of PD and account for ~5% of familial and ~1% of sporadic cases (Paisan-Ruiz et al, 2004;Tolosa et al, 2020;Zimprich et al, 2004). More than 250 mutations in LRRK2 have been identified, but pathogenicity has been confirmed only for a small subset, including N1437H, R1441C/G/H, Y1699C, G2019S and I2020T (Blanca Ramirez et al, 2017;Bryant et al, 2021;Kalogeropulou et al, 2022). LRRK2 G2019S , the most common mutation in LRRK2-related PD cases, significantly increased the kinase activity (Jaleel et al, 2007).…”

“…Accordingly, an altered cytosolic to microtubule-bound tau ratio could increase tau’s propensity to aggregate. In particular, a subset of LRRK2 pathogenic variants can form filaments on microtubules [ 29 , 30 ], which impairs the motility of microtubule-associated motors [ 31 ] and therefore makes it likely to impair the binding of tau. However, LRRK2 microtubule-binding is primarily observed in overexpression systems and when cells have been treated with LRRK2-type I kinase inhibitors [ 31 ].…”

“…We next tested the effect of nucleotides on LRRK2 binding to liposomes as its GTPase and kinase domains are critical to its physiological function 25 . Presence of GMPPNP, a nonhydrolyzable GTP analog, did not affect the co-sedimentation of LRRK2 with liposomes (Fig.…”

“…The kinase activity of LRRK2 is critical for its physiological function. Many of the LRRK2 mutations that cause, or increase the risk of PD increase LRRK2 kinase activity 9,25,26 . However, as shown above, ATP had no effect on LRRK2-dependent tubulation (Fig.…”
