G2019S specifically hyperactivates LRRK2 when recruited to swelling lysosomes via RAB29, creating pathogenic positive feedback where membrane stress increases RAB10 phosphorylation more than wild-type. Key experimental prediction: rise kinetics (slope) should differ between G2019S and WT, not merely baseline offset. RAB29 pathogenic mutations (PARK23) confirm disease relevance of this axis.
Normally RAB29 recruits LRRK2 specifically to stressed lysosomes for localized RAB10 phosphorylation. G2019S increases kinase activity even in cytosolic/untargeted LRRK2, creating diffuse RAB10 phosphorylation that disrupts normal endosomal trafficking. RAB29 overexpression rescuing G2019S phenotypes suggests spatial control not completely uncoupled.
