Figure 3. PD-linked mutants do not influence the subcellular localization or oligomerization state of LRRK2.
(A) PD-linked LRRK2 mutants and wild-type LRRK2 show similar distribution across the cytosol and membrane compartments when expressed in HEK293FT cells.
(B) Glycerol gradients of cytosol and membrane fractions from HEK293FT cells transfected with PD-linked LRRK2 mutants. The distribution of LMW and HMW LRRK2 in either cytosol or membrane fractions is not significantly changed by the introduction of PD-linked LRRK2 mutations (G2019S, R1441C, Y1699C) (Mean ± SEM, n = 3, Student’s t-test, all p > 0.05).
