Mutations in LRRK2 are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). The most prevalent LRRK2 mutation is the G2019S coding change, located in the kinase domain of this complex multi-domain protein. The majority of G2019S autopsy cases feature ...
Disorders characterized by α-synuclein (α-syn) accumulation, Lewy body formation and parkinsonism (and in some cases dementia) are collectively known as Lewy body diseases. The molecular mechanism (or mechanisms) through which α-syn abnormally accumulates ...
Several lines of evidence suggest that phosphorylation of α-synuclein (α-syn) at S87 or S129 may play an important role in regulating its aggregation, fibrillogenesis, Lewy body formation, and neurotoxicity in vivo. However, whether phosphorylation at thes ...
Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) is a natively unfolded protein that is closely linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD) by genetic, neuropathologic and biochemical evidence. Aggregated and fibrillar forms of α-syn are the main components of intracellular protein inclusi ...
Accumulation of misfolded alpha-synuclein (alpha S) is mechanistically linked to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other alpha-synucleinopathies. However, how alpha S causes neurodegeneration is unresolved. Because cellular accumulation of ...
Increased expression of α-synuclein and point mutations in its amino acid sequence play a causative role in familial forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, circumstances affecting the level of α-synuclein expression significantly increase the risk ...
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. While sporadic in the majority of cases, PD-linked dominant mutations in the α-synuclein and LRRK-2 genes, and recess ...
Background: Mutations of the gene encoding the major component of Lewy bodies (LB), alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), cause autosomal dominant forms of Parkinson's disease (PD), whereas loss-of-function mutations of the gene encoding the multifunctional E3 ubiq ...

Mutations in the genes encoding LRRK2 and -synuclein cause autosomal dominant forms of familial Parkinsons disease (PD). Fibrillar forms of -synuclein are a major component of Lewy bodies, the intracytoplasmic proteinaceous inclusions that are a pathologic ...
