Disruption of lysosomal proteolysis in astrocytes facilitates midbrain proteostasis failure in an early-onset PD model
Preprint: Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on biopolymers accompany cellular aging and drives poorly understood disease processes. Here, authors studied how AGEs contribute to development of early on-set Parkinson’s disease (PD) caused by loss-of-function of DJ1, a protein deglycase.

Lyso-IP: Uncovering Pathogenic Mechanisms of Lysosomal Dysfunction
Review: The development of the Lyso-IP approach and similar methods now allow for lysosomal purification within ten minutes. This review discusses the impact of this new methodology in uncovering the role of lysosomes in neurodegenerative conditions.

Article
Neuropathological Features of Gaucher Disease and Gaucher Disease with Parkinsonism
Review: To better understand the disease pathogenesis of Gaucher Disease, the authors reviewed the neuropathological features associated with glucocerebrosidase deficiency, examining autopsy studies of rare patients with GD.

Novel green fluorescent polyamines to analyze ATP13A2 and ATP13A3 activity in the mammalian polyamine transport system
Preprint: Cells acquire the polyamines putrescine (PUT), spermidine (SPD), and spermine (SPM) via the complementary action of polyamine uptake and synthesis pathways. The endosomal P5B-type ATPases ATP13A2 and ATP13A3 emerge as major determinants of mammalian polyamine uptake. Our biochemical evidence shows that fluorescently labeled polyamines are genuine substrates of ATP13A2.
