Hier beschreiben wir eine einfache und robuste Methode zum Nachweis Rab10 Phosphorylierung von LRRK2 auf endogene Ebenen basierend auf der P-Tag-Methode. Da die derzeit verfügbaren Antikörper gegen phosphorylierten Rab10 nur mit überexprimieren Proteine15arbeitet, ist das vorliegende Verfahren unter Verwendung von P-Tag SDS-PAGE die einzige Möglichkeit, endogene Ebenen der Rab10 Phosphorylierung zu beurteilen. Darüber hinaus erlaubt das vorliegende Verfahren die Schätzung der Stöchiometrie ...

PD gehört zu den häufigsten neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen, überwiegend dopaminergen Neuronen im Mittelhirn, beeinflussen, was zu Funktionsstörungen des motorischen Systems in Senioren1. Während die meisten Patienten PD auf sporadische Weise entwickeln, gibt es Familien, die Krankheit zu erben. Mutationen in verschiedenen Genen wurden gefunden, mit FPD2verknüpft werden. Die verursachenden Gene für FPD gehört LRRK2, in denen acht Missense-Mutationen (N1437H, R1441C/G/H/S, Y1699C, G2019S und I2020T) verbunden mit einer dominant vererbten FPD genannt PARK8 bisher gemeldeten3,4,5gewesen sein. Mehreren genomweiten Assoziationsstudien (GWAS) sporadische PD-Patienten haben auch genomische Variationen bei den LRRK2-Locus als Risikofaktor für PD, darauf hindeutet, dass die Anomalie in der Funktion von LRRK2 ist eine häufige Ursache für Neurodegeneration in beiden sporadisch identifiziert und PARK8 FPD6,7,8.
LRRK2 ist ein großes Protein (2.527 Aminosäuren) bestehend aus einer Leucin-reiche wiederholen Sie Domäne, ein GTP-Bindung Ras komplexe Proteine (ROC) Domäne, eine C-terminale ROC (ADR) Domäne, eine Serin/Threonin Protein Kinase-Domäne und einer WD40 wiederholen Domäne9. Die acht FPD-Mutationen finden in diesen funktionellen Domänen; N1437H und R1441C/G/H/S in der ROC-Domäne, Y1699C im Bereich ADR, G2019S und I2020T in der Kinase-Domäne. Da G2019S Mutation, die am häufigsten in PD Patienten10,11,12Mutation gefunden wird, die Kinase-Aktivität von LRRK2 2-3 Fach in-vitro-13erhöht, wird es vermutet. dass die abnorme Zunahme der Phosphorylierung von LRRK2 Substrate giftig für Neuronen. Es war jedoch unmöglich zu prüfen, ob die Phosphorylierung von physiologisch relevanten LRRK2 Substraten in familiären/sporadische PD-Patienten aufgrund der fehlenden Methoden in abgeleiteten Patientenstichproben Bewertung geändert wird.
Protein-Phosphorylierung wird in der Regel durch Immunoblotting oder Enzym-linked Immunosorbentprobe Assay (ELISA) mit Antikörpern, die spezifisch erkennen des phosphorylierten Zustands Proteine oder durch massenspektrometrische Analyse erkannt. Die ehemalige Strategie kann jedoch manchmal wegen der Schwierigkeiten bei der Schaffung von Phosphorylierung-spezifische Antikörper angewendet werden. Metabolische Kennzeichnung von Zellen mit radioaktivem Phosphat ist eine weitere Option, physiologische Ebenen der Phosphorylierung zu untersuchen, wenn Phosphorylierung-spezifischen Antikörper nicht leicht verfügbar sind. Aber es erfordert eine große Menge radioaktiver Stoffe und daher beinhaltet einige spezielle Ausrüstung für Strahlenschutz14. Massenspektrometrische Analyse ist empfindlicher gegenüber diesen immunchemische Methoden und populär bei der Analyse von Protein-Phosphorylierung. Jedoch die Probenvorbereitung ist zeitaufwändig und teuer Instrumente sind für die Analyse erforderlich.
Eine Teilmenge der Rab GTPase Familie einschließlich Rab10 und Rab8 wurde kürzlich berichtet, wie das Ergebnis eines umfangreichen Phosphoproteomic Analyse15direkte physiologische Substrate für LRRK2 zugrunde. Wir zeigten dann, dass Rab10 Phosphorylierung von FPD Mutationen im embryonalen Fibroblasten der Maus und in den Lungen von Profi Mäuse16erhöht wurde. In diesem Bericht, wir entschieden uns für eine Sodium Dodecyl Sulfat Polyacrylamid Gelelektrophorese (SDS-PAGE) beschäftigen-basierte Methode, bei der ein P-Tag-Molekül Co polymerisierten in SDS-PAGE Gelen (P-Tag SDS-PAGE) zur Erfassung der endogenen Ebenen der Rab10 Phosphorylierung denn ein hochempfindlicher Antikörper spezifisch für phosphorylierten Rab10 noch fehlte. Wir haben versäumt, die Phosphorylierung des endogenen Rab8 aufgrund der schlechten Selektivität der derzeit verfügbaren Antikörper für insgesamt Rab8 erkennen. Daher entschieden wir uns konzentrieren auf die Rab10 Phosphorylierung. LRRK2 phosphorylates Rab10 bei Thr73 Ortung in der Mitte der Region hoch konservierte "Schalter II". Hohe Erhaltung der Phosphorylierung Websites unter Rab-Proteine möglicherweise einer der Gründe, warum Phosphospecific Antikörper erkennen unterschiedliche Rab-Proteine schwer sind zu machen.
Die Phosphorylierung des Rab8A von LRRK2 hemmt die Bindung von Rabin8, ein Guanin-Nukleotid Austausch Faktor (GEF) die Rab8A aktiviert, durch den Austausch der gebundenen BIP mit GTP15. Phosphorylierung von Rab10 und Rab8A von LRRK2 hemmt auch die Bindung von BIP-Dissoziation-Inhibitoren (GDIs), die wesentlich für die Aktivierung des Rab-Proteine durch die Gewinnung von BIP-gebundenen Rab-Proteine von Membranen15. Gemeinsam wird es vermutet, dass die Phosphorylierung des Rab-Proteine von LRRK2 sie Aktivierung daran hindert, obwohl die genauen molekularen Mechanismus und physiologischen Folgen der Phosphorylierung unklar bleiben.
P-Tag SDS-PAGE wurde erfunden von Kinoshita Et Al. 2006: bei dieser Methode wurde Acrylamid kovalent verbunden mit P-Tag, ein Molekül Erfassung Phosphate mit hoher Affinität, die in SDS-PAGE copolymerisiert Gele17. Da die P-Tag-Moleküle in einem SDS-PAGE Gel selektiv elektrophoretische Mobilität der phosphorylierten Proteine verzögern, kann P-Tag SDS-PAGE phosphorylierten Proteine von nicht phosphoryliert zu trennen (Abbildung 1). Wenn das Protein des Interesses auf mehrere Reste phosphoryliert wird, wird eine Leiter Bands differentiell phosphorylierten Formen entsprechend beobachtet werden. Im Falle von Rab10 beobachten wir nur eine verschobene Band darauf hinweist, dass Rab10 nur bei Thr73 phosphoryliert wird. Der große Vorteil der P-Tag SDS-PAGE über Immunoblotting mit Phosphorylierung-spezifischen Antikörpern ist, dass phosphorylierten Rab10 durch Immunoblotting mit Phosphorylierung-unspezifische Antikörper (d.h.erkennen total Rab10) nachgewiesen werden können nach auf Membranen übertragen wird, ist die in der Regel bestimmten, sensiblen und verfügbar aus kommerziellen/akademische Quellen. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Verwendung von P-Tag SDS-PAGE ist eine ungefähre Schätzung der Stöchiometrie der Phosphorylierung, erhalten kann, das ist unmöglich, durch Immunoblotting mit Phosphorylierung-spezifische Antikörper oder durch metabolische Kennzeichnung von Zellen mit radioaktiven Phosphate.
Abgesehen von der Verwendung von preiswerten P-Tag Acrylamid und einige geringfügigen Änderungen mit sich bringen folgt das vorliegende Verfahren zur Erkennung von Rab10 Phosphorylierung von LRRK2 ein allgemeines Protokolls Immunoblotting.Daher sollte es unkompliziert und leicht ausführbare in jedem Labor sein, wo Immunoblotting eine übliche Praxis, mit allen Arten von Proben ist, einschließlich der gereinigten Proteine, Zelle Lysates und Gewebe Homogenates.

Mutationen im Leucin-reiche wiederholen Kinase 2 (LRRK2) haben gezeigt, mit familiären Parkinson-Erkrankung (FPD) verknüpft werden. Da abnormale Aktivierung der Kinase-Aktivität von LRRK2 in der Pathogenese von Morbus Parkinson in Verbindung gebracht hat, ist es wichtig, eine Methode zur Evaluierung der physiologischen Ebenen die Kinase-Aktivität von LRRK2 zu etablieren. Neuere Studien gezeigt, dass LRRK2 Rab GTPase Familienmitglieder, einschließlich Rab10, unter physiologischen Bedingungen phosphorylates. Obwohl die Phosphorylierung des endogenen Rab10 von LRRK2 in kultivierten Zellen durch Massenspektrometrie nachgewiesen werden konnte, ist es schwierig zu erkennen durch Immunoblotting aufgrund der schlechten Empfindlichkeit der derzeit verfügbaren Phosphorylierung-spezifische Antikörper für gewesen.

Highly Sensitive and Rapid Fluorescence Detection with a Portable FRET Analyzer

Recent improvements in F&#246;rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) sensors have enabled their use to detect various small molecules including ions and amino acids. However, the innate weak signal intensity of FRET sensors is a major challenge that prevents their application in various fields and makes the use of expensive, high-end fluorometers necessary. Previously, we built a cost-effective, high-performance FRET analyzer that can specifically measure the ratio of two emission wavelength bands (530 and 480 nm) to achieve high detection sensitivity. More recently, it was discovered that FRET sensors with bacterial periplasmic binding proteins detect ligands with maximum sensitivity in the critical temperature range of 50 - 55 &#176;C. This report describes a protocol for assessing sugar content in commercially-available beverage samples using our portable FRET analyzer with a temperature-specific FRET sensor. Our results showed that the additional preheating process of the FRET sensor significantly increases the FRET ratio signal, to enable more accurate measurement of sugar content. The custom-made FRET analyzer and sensor were successfully applied to quantify the sugar content in three types of commercial beverages. We anticipate that further size reduction and performance enhancement of the equipment will facilitate the use of hand-held analyzers in environments where high-end equipment is not available.

This protocol describes the rapid and highly sensitive quantification of F&#246;rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) sensor data using a custom-made portable FRET analyzer. The device was used to detect maltose within a critical temperature range that maximizes detection sensitivity, enabling practical and efficient assessment of sugar content.

Detection of the pH-dependent Activity of Escherichia coli Chaperone HdeB In Vitro and In Vivo

Bacteria are frequently exposed to environmental changes, such as alterations in pH, temperature, redox status, light exposure or mechanical force. Many of these conditions cause protein unfolding in the cell and have detrimental impact on the survival of the organism. A group of unrelated, stress-specific molecular chaperones have been shown to play essential roles in the survival of these stress conditions. While fully folded and chaperone-inactive before stress, these proteins rapidly unfold and become chaperone-active under specific stress conditions. Once activated, these conditionally disordered chaperones bind to a large number of different aggregation-prone proteins, prevent their aggregation and either directly or indirectly facilitate protein refolding upon return to non-stress conditions. The primary approach for gaining a more detailed understanding about the mechanism of their activation and client recognition involves the purification and subsequent characterization of these proteins using in vitro chaperone assays. Follow-up in vivo stress assays are absolutely essential to independently confirm the obtained in vitro results.
This protocol describes in vitro and in vivo methods to characterize the chaperone activity of E. coli HdeB, an acid-activated chaperone. Light scattering measurements were used as a convenient read-out for HdeB&#39;s capacity to prevent acid-induced aggregation of an established model client protein, MDH, in vitro. Analytical ultracentrifugation experiments were applied to reveal complex formation between HdeB and its client protein LDH, to shed light into the fate of client proteins upon their return to non-stress conditions. Enzymatic activity assays of the client proteins were conducted to monitor the effects of HdeB on pH-induced client inactivation and reactivation. Finally, survival studies were used to monitor the influence of HdeB&#39;s chaperone function in vivo.

Detection of the pH-dependent Activity of Escherichia coli Chaperone HdeB In Vitro and In Vivo

This study describes biophysical, biochemical and molecular techniques to characterize the chaperone activity of Escherichia coli HdeB under acidic pH conditions.

Assaying Protein Kinase Activity with Radiolabeled ATP

Protein kinases are able to govern large-scale cellular changes in response to complex arrays of stimuli, and much effort has been directed at uncovering allosteric details of their regulation. Kinases comprise signaling networks whose defects are often hallmarks of multiple forms of cancer and related diseases, making an assay platform amenable to manipulation of upstream regulatory factors and validation of reaction requirements critical in the search for improved therapeutics. Here, we describe a basic kinase assay that can be easily adapted to suit specific experimental questions including but not limited to testing the effects of biochemical and pharmacological agents, genetic manipulations such as mutation and deletion, as well as cell culture conditions and treatments to probe cell signaling mechanisms. This assay utilizes radiolabeled [&#947;-32P] ATP, which allows for quantitative comparisons and clear visualization of results, and can be modified for use with immunoprecipitated or recombinant kinase, specific or typified substrates, all over a wide range of reaction conditions.

Protein kinases are highly evolved signaling enzymes and scaffolds that are critical for inter- and intracellular signal transduction. We present a protocol for measuring kinase activity through the use of radiolabeled adenosine triphosphate ([&#947;-32P] ATP), a reliable method to aid in elucidation of cellular signaling regulation.

Oligopeptide Competition Assay for Phosphorylation Site Determination

Protein phosphorylation at specific sites determines its conformation and interaction with other molecules. Thus, protein phosphorylation affects biological functions and characteristics of the cell. Currently, the most common method for discovering phosphorylation sites is by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis, a rapid and sensitive method. However, relatively labile phosphate moieties are often released from phosphopeptides during the fragmentation step, which often yields false-negative signals. In such cases, a traditional in vitro kinase assay using site-directed mutants would be more accurate, but this method is laborious and time-consuming. Therefore, an alternative method using peptide competition may be advantageous. The consensus recognition motif of 5&#39; adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been established1 and was validated using a positional scanning peptide library assay2. Thus, AMPK phosphorylation sites for a novel substrate could be predicted and confirmed by the peptide competition assays. In this report, we describe the detailed steps and procedures for the in vitro oligopeptide-competing kinase assay by illustrating AMPK-mediated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) phosphorylation. To authenticate the phosphorylation site, we carried out a sequential in vitro kinase assay using a site-specific mutant. Overall, the peptide competition assay provides a method to screen multiple potential phosphorylation sites and to identify sites for validation by the phosphorylation site mutants.

Peptide competition assays are widely used in a variety of molecular and immunological experiments. This paper describes a detailed method for an in vitro oligopeptide-competing kinase assay and the associated validation procedures, which may be useful to find specific phosphorylation sites.

DNA Polymerase Activity Assay Using Near-infrared Fluorescent Labeled DNA Visualized by Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis

For any enzyme, robust, quantitative methods are required for characterization of both native and engineered enzymes. For DNA polymerases, DNA synthesis can be characterized using an in vitro DNA synthesis assay followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The goal of this assay is to quantify synthesis of both natural DNA and modified DNA (M-DNA). These approaches are particularly useful for resolving oligonucleotides with single nucleotide resolution, enabling observation of individual steps during enzymatic oligonucleotide synthesis. These methods have been applied to the evaluation of an array of biochemical and biophysical properties such as the measurement of steady-state rate constants of individual steps of DNA synthesis, the error rate of DNA synthesis, and DNA binding affinity. By using modified components including, but not limited to, modified nucleoside triphosphates (NTP), M-DNA, and/or mutant DNA polymerases, the relative utility of substrate-DNA polymerase pairs can be effectively evaluated. Here, we detail the assay itself, including the changes that must be made to accommodate nontraditional primer DNA labeling strategies such as near-infrared fluorescently labeled DNA. Additionally, we have detailed crucial technical steps for acrylamide gel pouring and running, which can often be technically challenging.

This protocol describes the characterization of DNA polymerase synthesis of modified DNA through observation of changes to near-infrared fluorescently labeled DNA using gel electrophoresis and gel imaging. Acrylamide gels are used for high resolution imaging of the separation of short nucleic acids, which migrate at different rates depending on size.

Detection of Small GTPase Prenylation and GTP Binding Using Membrane Fractionation and  GTPase-linked Immunosorbent Assay

The Rho GTPase family belongs to the Ras superfamily and includes approximately 20 members in humans. Rho GTPases are important in the regulation of diverse cellular functions, including cytoskeletal dynamics, cell motility, cell polarity, axonal guidance, vesicular trafficking, and cell cycle control. Changes in Rho GTPase signaling play an essential regulatory role in many pathological conditions, such as&#160;cancer, central nervous system diseases, and immune system-dependent diseases. The posttranslational modification of Rho GTPases (i.e., prenylation by mevalonate pathway intermediates) and GTP binding are key factors which affect the activation of this protein. In this paper, two essential and simple methods are provided to detect a broad range of Rho GTPase prenylation and GTP binding activities. Details of the technical procedures that have been used are explained step by step in this manuscript.

Here we describe a protocol to investigate the prenylation and guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP)-loading of Rho GTPase. This protocol consists of two detailed methods, namely membrane fractionation and a GTPase-linked immunosorbent assay. The protocol can be used for measuring the prenylation and GTP loading of different other small GTPases.

Identification of Cyclin-dependent Kinase 1 Specific Phosphorylation Sites by an In Vitro Kinase Assay

Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) is a master controller for the cell cycle in all eukaryotes and phosphorylates an estimated 8 - 13% of the proteome; however, the number of identified targets for Cdk1, particularly in human cells is still low. The identification of Cdk1-specific phosphorylation sites is important, as they provide mechanistic insights into how Cdk1 controls the cell cycle. Cell cycle regulation is critical for faithful chromosome segregation, and defects in this complicated process lead to chromosomal aberrations and cancer.
Here, we describe an in vitro kinase assay that is used to identify Cdk1-specific phosphorylation sites. In this assay, a purified protein is phosphorylated in vitro by commercially available human Cdk1/cyclin B. Successful phosphorylation is confirmed by SDS-PAGE, and phosphorylation sites are subsequently identified by mass spectrometry. We also describe purification protocols that yield highly pure and homogeneous protein preparations suitable for the kinase assay, and a binding assay for the functional verification of the identified phosphorylation sites, which probes the interaction between a classical nuclear localization signal (cNLS) and its nuclear transport receptor karyopherin &#945;. To aid with experimental design, we review approaches for the prediction of Cdk1-specific phosphorylation sites from protein sequences. Together these protocols present a very powerful approach that yields Cdk1-specific phosphorylation sites and enables mechanistic studies into how Cdk1 controls the cell cycle. Since this method relies on purified proteins, it can be applied to any model organism and yields reliable results, especially when combined with cell functional studies.

Detection of Phospholipase C Activity in the Brain Homogenate from the Honeybee

The honeybee is a model organism for evaluating complex behaviors and higher brain function, such as learning, memory, and division of labor. The mushroom body (MB) is a higher brain center proposed to be the neural substrate of complex honeybee behaviors. Although previous studies identified genes and proteins that are differentially expressed in the MBs and other brain regions, the activities of the proteins in each region are not yet fully understood. To reveal the functions of these proteins in the brain, pharmacologic analysis is a feasible approach, but it is first necessary to confirm that pharmacologic manipulations indeed alter the protein activity in these brain regions.
We previously identified a higher expression of genes encoding phospholipase C (PLC) in the MBs than in other brain regions, and pharmacologically assessed the involvement of PLC in honeybee behavior. In that study, we biochemically tested two pharmacologic agents and confirmed that they decreased PLC activity in the MBs and other brain regions. Here, we present a detailed description of how to detect PLC activity in honeybee brain homogenate. In this assay system, homogenates derived from different brain regions are reacted with a synthetic fluorogenic substrate, and fluorescence resulting from PLC activity is quantified and compared between brain regions. We also describe our evaluation of the inhibitory effects of certain drugs on PLC activity using the same system. Although this system is likely affected by other endogenous fluorescence compounds and/or the absorbance of the assay components and tissues, the measurement of PLC activity using this system is safer and easier than that using the traditional assay, which requires radiolabeled substrates. The simple procedure and manipulations allow us to examine PLC activity in the brains and other tissues of honeybees involved in different social tasks.

To test the inhibitory effects of pharmacologic agents on phospholipase C (PLC) in different regions of the honeybee brain, we present a biochemical assay to measure PLC activity in those regions. This assay could be useful for comparing PLC activity among tissues, as well as among bees exhibiting different behaviors.

Affinity Purification of Chloroplast Translocon Protein Complexes Using the TAP Tag

Chloroplast biogenesis requires the import of thousands of nucleus-encoded proteins into the plastid. The import of these proteins depends on the translocon at the outer (TOC) and inner (TIC) chloroplast membranes. The TOC and TIC complexes are multimeric and probably contain yet unknown components. One of the main goals in the field is to establish the complete inventory of TOC and TIC components. For the isolation of TOC-TIC complexes and the identification of new components, the preprotein receptor TOC159 has been modified N-terminally by the addition of the tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag resulting in TAP-TOC159. The TAP-tag is designed for two sequential affinity purification steps (hence "tandem affinity"). The TAP-tag used in these studies consists of a N-terminal IgG-binding domain derived from Staphylococcus aureus Protein A (ProtA) followed by a calmodulin-binding peptide (CBP). Between these two affinity tags, a tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease cleavage site has been included. Therefore, TEV protease can be used for gentle elution of TOC159-containing complexes after binding to IgG beads. In the protocol presented here, the second Calmodulin-affinity purification step was omitted. The purification protocol starts with the preparation and solubilization of total cellular membranes. After the detergent-treatment, the solubilized membrane proteins are incubated with IgG beads for the immunoisolation of TAP-TOC159-containing complexes. Upon binding and extensive washing, TAP-TOC159 containing complexes are cleaved and released from the IgG beads using the TEV protease whereby the S. aureus IgG-binding domain is removed. Western blotting of the isolated TOC159-containing complexes can be used to confirm the presence of known or suspected TOC and TIC proteins. More importantly, the TOC159-containing complexes have been used successfully to identify new components of the TOC and TIC complexes by mass spectrometry. The protocol that we present potentially allows the efficient isolation of any membrane-bound protein complex to be used for the identification of yet unknown components by mass spectrometry.

We here present a proven and tested protocol for the purification of chloroplast protein import complexes (TOC-TIC complex) using the TAP-tag. The one-step affinity-isolation protocol can potentially be applied to any protein and be used to identify new interaction partners by mass spectrometry.

Human Peripheral Blood Neutrophil Isolation for Interrogating the Parkinson's Associated LRRK2 Kinase Pathway by Assessing Rab10 Phosphorylation

The leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is the most frequently mutated gene in hereditary Parkinson&#8217; disease (PD) and all pathogenic LRRK2 mutations result in hyperactivation of its kinase function. Here, we describe an easy and robust assay to quantify LRRK2 kinase pathway activity in human peripheral blood neutrophils by measuring LRRK2-controlled phosphorylation of one of its physiological substrates, Rab10 at threonine 73. The immunoblotting analysis described requires a fully selective and phosphospecific antibody that recognizes the Rab10 Thr73 epitope phosphorylated by LRRK2, such as the MJFF-pRab10 rabbit monoclonal antibody. It uses human peripheral blood neutrophils, because peripheral blood is easily accessible and neutrophils are an abundant and homogenous constituent. Importantly, neutrophils express relatively high levels of both LRRK2 and Rab10. A potential drawback of neutrophils is their high intrinsic serine protease activity, which necessitates the use of very potent protease inhibitors such as the organophosphorus neurotoxin diisopropylfluorophosphate (DIFP) as part of the lysis buffer. Nevertheless, neutrophils are a valuable resource for research into LRRK2 kinase pathway activity in vivo and should be considered for inclusion into PD biorepository collections.

Mutations in the leucine rich repeat kinase 2 gene (LRRK2) cause hereditary Parkinson&#8217;s disease. We have developed an easy and robust method for assessing LRRK2-controlled phosphorylation of Rab10 in human peripheral blood neutrophils. This may help identify individuals with increased LRRK2 kinase pathway activity.
