説明

<jats:p> Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene ( <jats:italic>LRRK2</jats:italic> ) cause late-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) with a clinical appearance indistinguishable from idiopathic PD. Initial studies suggest that <jats:italic>LRRK2</jats:italic> mutations are the most common yet identified determinant of PD susceptibility, transmitted in an autosomal-dominant mode of inheritance. Herein, we characterize the <jats:italic>LRRK2</jats:italic> gene and transcript in human brain and subclone the predominant ORF. Exogenously expressed LRRK2 protein migrates at ≈280 kDa and is present largely in the cytoplasm but also associates with the mitochondrial outer membrane. Familial-linked mutations G2019S or R1441C do not have an obvious effect on protein steady-state levels, turnover, or localization. However, <jats:italic>in vitro</jats:italic> kinase assays using full-length recombinant LRRK2 reveal an increase in activity caused by familial-linked mutations in both autophosphorylation and the phosphorylation of a generic substrate. These results suggest a gain-of-function mechanism for <jats:italic>LRRK2</jats:italic> -linked disease with a central role for kinase activity in the development of PD. </jats:p>
