LRRK2 kinase regulates α-synuclein propagation via RAB35 phosphorylation

Mutations in LRRK2 kinase are associated with Parkinson’s disease. Here the authors show that LRRK2 modulates propagation of α-synuclein, using rodent and C. elegans models, and show that this is dependent on phosphorylation of one of its substrates, RAB35.
