| Research Abstract |
Several proteins have been reported to be phosphorylated by LRRK2 in vitro. However, they are not phosphorylated by LRRK2 in cells. In this study, we searched the database using the consensus phosphorylation sequence of LRRK2 as a query and selected a number of proteins as candidates. We examined whether they are phosphorylated by LRRK2 and found that several proteins including Synaptotagmin-1 were phosphorylated by LRRK2 in vitro.
