Neurobiology: A pathogenic tug of war (original) (raw)

Current Biology, 2021

Abstract

Pathogenic mutations in the kinase LRRK2 have been implicated in Parkinson's disease. A new study shows that hyperactivation of this kinase reduces the processivity of autophagosomal retrograde transport in axons through an unproductive 'tug-of-war' between anterograde and retrograde motors, thus contributing to autophagy dysfunction and axonal degeneration.
