Oligomerization of Lrrk controls actin severing and α-synuclein neurotoxicity in vivo

Abstract Background Mutations in LRRK2 are the most common cause of familial Parkinson’s disease and typically cause disease in the context of abnormal aggregation and deposition of α-synuclein within affected brain tissue. Methods We combine genetic analysis of Lrrk-associated toxicity in a penetra...
