Localization of PPM1H phosphatase tunes Parkinson’s disease-linked LRRK2 kinase-mediated Rab GTPase phosphorylation and ciliogenesis
By savannah onPreprint: The data support a model in which localization drives PPM1H substrate selection and centriolar PPM1H is critical for regulation of Rab GTPase-regulated ciliogenesis. Moreover, Golgi localized PPM1H maintains active Rab GTPases on the Golgi to carry out their non-ciliogenesis-related functions in membrane trafficking.
Immunohistochemistry of Human Brain Striatum: Ciliation of cholinergic neurons and astrocytes
By savannah onThe authors present a method to identify the same brain region in human postmortem tissue to evaluate ciliary status. The striatum is identified morphologically and also by immunofluorescence microscopy using anti-DARPP-32 antibodies.

LRRK2 regulates the activation of the unfolded protein response and antigen presentation in macrophages during inflammation
By savannah onRemarkably, the PD-related protein LRRK2 acted with STING upstream of the UPR to regulate the transition from innate to adaptive immunity, thereby identifying this PD-related protein as a key player in the immune response during inflammation.

PARK15/FBXO7 is dispensable for PINK1/Parkin mitophagy in iNeurons and HeLa cell systems
By savannah onGlobal proteomics of neurogenesis in the absence of FBXO7 reveals no obvious alterations in mitochondria or other organelles. These results argue against a general role for FBXO7 in Parkin-dependent mitophagy and point to the need for additional studies to define how FBXO7 mutations promote parkinsonian–pyramidal syndrome.
