New preprint alert! We show that the common GBA1 E326K variant leads to impaired lysosomal delivery of GCase and defects in PD-relevant pathways. Structures of E326K alone and with LIMP2 reveal mechanistic insight. Big thanks to the Vocadlo and Cookson labs!

A Common PD-Risk GBA1 Variant Disrupts LIMP2 Interaction, Impairs Glucocerebrosidase Function, and Drives Lysosomal and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Variants in GBA1 cause Gaucher disease (GD), a lysosomal storage disorder, and represent the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). While some GBA1 variants are associated with ...

Our new study in Molecular Neurodegeneration shows that LRRK2 kinase activity modulates lysosomal glycosphingolipid and BMP homeostasis. We also report how LRRK2 inhibition alters these biomarkers in LRRK2-PD patients, highlighting their translational potential.
