    Abstract Activating mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) represent the most common cause of monogenic Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 is a large multidomain protein kinase that phosphorylates a specific subset of the ∼65 human Rab GTPases, which are master regulators of the secretory and endocytic pathways. After phosphorylation by LRRK2, Rabs lose the capacity to bind cognate effector proteins and guanine nucleotide exchange factors. Moreover, the phosphorylated Rabs cannot interact with their cognate prenyl-binding retrieval proteins (also known as guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors) and, thus, they become trapped on membrane surfaces. Instead, they gain the capacity to bind phospho-Rab-specific effector proteins, such as RILPL1, with resulting pathological consequences. Rab proteins also act upstream of LRRK2 by controlling its activation and recruitment onto membranes. LRRK2 signaling is counteracted by the phosphoprotein phosphatase PPM1H, which selectively dephosphorylates phospho-Rab proteins. We present here our current understanding of the structure, biochemical properties, and cell biology of LRRK2 and its related paralog LRRK1 and discuss how this information guides the generation of LRRK2 inhibitors for the potential benefit of patients.

    Abstract Rab GTPases comprise a large family of conserved GTPases that are critical regulators of the secretory and endocytic pathways. The human genome encodes ~ 65 Rabs that localize to discrete membrane compartments and, when in their GTP-bound state, bind to effector proteins to carry out diverse functions. Activating mutations in LRRK2 kinase cause Parkinson's disease, and subsets of Rab GTPases are important LRRK2 substrates. LRRK2 phosphorylates a conserved threonine residue that is essential for Rab interaction with guanine nucleotide exchange factors, effectors, and GDI that recycles Rabs between membrane compartments. This brief review will highlight new findings related to LRRK2-mediated phosphorylation of Rab GTPases and its consequences. Remarkably, Rab phosphorylation flips a switch on Rab effector selection with dominant consequences for cell pathophysiology.

    Abstract Low-density lipoprotein particles are taken up by cells and delivered to the lysosome where their cholesterol esters are cleaved off by acid lipase. The released, free cholesterol is then exported from lysosomes for cellular needs or storage. This article summarizes recent advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of cholesterol export from lysosomes. Cholesterol export requires NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 (NPC1) and NPC2, genetic mutations of which can cause Niemann-Pick type C disease, a disorder characterized by massive lysosomal accumulation of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids. Analysis of the NPC1 and NPC2 structures and biochemical properties, together with new structures of the related Patched (PTCH) protein, provides new clues to the mechanisms by which NPC proteins may function.

    Abstract Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is mutated in familial Parkinson's disease, and pathogenic mutations activate the kinase activity. A tour de force screen by Mann and Alessi and co-workers identified a subset of Rab GTPases as bona fide LRRK2 substrates. Rab GTPases are master regulators of membrane trafficking and this short review will summarize what we know about the connection between LRRK2 and this family of regulatory proteins. While, in most cases, Rab GTPase phosphorylation is predicted to interfere with Rab protein function, the discovery of proteins that show preferential binding to phosphorylated Rabs suggests that more complex interactions may also contribute to mutant LRRK2-mediated pathology.

    Abstract Several of the most important discoveries in the field of membrane traffic have come from studies of Rab GTPases by Marino Zerial and Peter Novick and their colleagues. Zerial was the first to discover that Rab GTPases represent identity markers for different membrane-bound compartments, and each Rab organizes a collection of specific effectors into function-specifying membrane microdomains to carry out receptor trafficking. Novick discovered that the order (and thus polarity) of Rab GTPases along the secretory and endocytic pathways are established by their specific, cognate guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), which partner with one Rab to regulate the subsequent- and prior-acting Rabs. Such so-called Rab cascades have evolved to establish domains that contain unique Rab proteins and their cognate effectors, which drive all steps of membrane trafficking. These findings deserve much broader recognition by the biomedical research community and are highlighted here, along with open questions that require serious attention for full understanding of the molecular basis of Rab GTPase-regulated membrane trafficking in eukaryotic cells.

    Abstract Activating LRRK2 mutations cause Parkinson's disease. Previously, we showed that cholinergic interneurons and astrocytes but not medium spiny neurons of the dorsal striatum lose primary cilia in LRRK2 mutant mice. Single nucleus RNA sequencing shows that cilia loss in cholinergic interneurons correlates with higher LRRK2 expression and decreased glial derived neurotrophic factor transcription. Nevertheless, much higher LRRK2 expression is seen in medium spiny neurons that have normal cilia in mice and humans. In parallel with decreased striatal dopaminergic neurite density, LRRK2 G2019S neurons show increased autism-linked CNTN5 adhesion protein expression; glial cells show significant loss of ferritin heavy chain. Human striatal tissue from LRRK2 pathway mutation carriers and idiopathic Parkinson's disease show similar cilia loss in cholinergic interneurons and astrocytes and overall loss of such neurons. These data strongly suggest that loss of cilia in specific striatal cell types decreases neuroprotection for dopamine neurons in mice and human Parkinson's disease.
