We found that the #Parkinson's disease related kinase #LRRK2 interacts with vesicular #SNAREs #VAMP4 and #VAMP7. #VAMP4 and #VAMP7 are required for proper processing and release of #Parkinson's disease #biomarkers #VGF as we found using #secretomics. We found late endosomal #secretion of #VGF together with #exosome markers like #CD63. We also developed a #rushassay to study #VGF #trafficking.

#Secretion of #VGF relies on the interplay between #LRRK2 and post-Golgi v-SNAREs #VAMP4 #VAMP7.

New preprint from my colleagues at Denali: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.19.521070v1 They describe how the LRRK2 kinase, a risk factor for Parkinson's Disease regulates secretion of BMP, an endolysosomal lipid involved in glycosphingolipid (GSL) catabolism, from kidney into urine and modulates BMP and GSL levels in the brain. #neurodegeneration #lrrk2 #parkinsons #lipids #omics
