Mutations in Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the second most common cause of autosomal-dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD), and increased LRRK2 kinase activity is also observed in idiopathic PD, making LRRK2 a major actionable therapeutic target. LRRK2 is a 286-kDa multidomain enzyme containing a Ras-like GTPase...

This study utilizes a chemical genetic approach to sensitize LRRK2 to existing GTPase inhibitors and shows that pharmacologically engaging the Roc-COR GTPase domain in cells decreases but does not fully inhibit LRRK2-mediated Rab10 T73 phosphorylation.

The adaptive plasticity of cell-cycle control in cancer cells is discussed and current strategies to target newly emerging CDK2 druggable pockets are highlighted, with an emphasis on chemical biology approaches, aiming to inspire the next generation of CDK2 inhibitors and kinase-targeted therapies more broadly.

BisRoc is identified, a dimeric rocaglate ligand that potently and durably suppresses translation and exhibits greater specificity across a cancer cell line panel than the monomeric RocA.

A unified framework for understanding LRRK2 regulation with broad therapeutic implications is provided, showing that the ROC GTPase governs switching between autoinhibited and active states: GTP binding promotes activation, whereas GDP binding enforces autoinhibition.

Maternal inflammatory response (MIR) during early mouse gestation induces a cascade of physiological and behavioral changes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We have shown that mild MIR causes chronic systemic and brain inflammation, mTOR pathway activation, mild brain overgrowth with regionally specific...
