Abstract
Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) phosphorylates a subset of Rab GTPases that regulate receptor trafficking, and LRRK2-activating mutations are linked to Parkinson's disease. Rab phosphorylation is a transient event that can be reversed by phosphatases, including protein phosphatase, Mg2+/Mn2+ dependent 1H (PPM1H), which acts on phosphorylated Rab 8A (phosphoRab8A) and phosphoRab10. Here, we report a phosphatome-wide small interfering RNA (siRNA) screen that identified PPM1M as a phosphoRab12-preferring phosphatase that also acts on phosphoRab8A and phosphoRab10. Upon knockout from cultured cells or mice, PPM1M displays selectivity for phosphoRab12. As shown previously for mice harboring LRRK2 pathway mutations, knockout of Ppm1m leads to primary cilia loss in striatal cholinergic and parvalbumin interneurons. We also identified a rare PPM1M mutation in patients with Parkinson's disease that is catalytically inactive when tested in vitro and in cells. These findings identify PPM1M as a key player in the LRRK2 signaling pathway and provide a new therapeutic target for the possible benefit of patients with Parkinson's disease.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
