Genetic forms of PD are associated with variants in FBXO7 and PI31. Combining biochemical and structural approaches, we describe the proteasome interaction of these proteins and map disease variants to disruption of proteasome interaction.
Mutations in LRRK2 are linked to Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 regulates membrane trafficking and interacts with microtubules. Recent studies have revealed its cytosolic and microtubule-bound forms using cryo-EM and cryo-ET techniques.
The authors combined cell biology with correlative cryo-electron tomography in yeast cells to show a high resolution stepwise structural progression of autophagosome biogenesis.
