title: Impact of Type II LRRK2 inhibitors on signalling and mitophagy

description: <strong>Abstract</strong> Much effort has been devoted to the development of selective inhibitors of the LRRK2 as a potential treatment for LRRK2 driven Parkinson's disease. In this study we first compare the properties of Type I (GSK3357679A and MLi-2) and Type II (Ponatinib and GZD-824, Rebastinib and Ponatinib) kinase inhibitors that bind to the closed or open conformations of the LRRK2 kinase domain, respectively. We show that Type I and Type II inhibitors suppress phosphorylation of Rab10 and Rab12, key physiological substrates of LRRK2 and also promote mitophagy, a process suppressed by LRRK2. Type II inhibitors also display higher potency towards wild type LRRK2 compared to pathogenic mutants. Unexpectedly, we find that Type II inhibitors, in contrast to Type I compounds, fail to induce dephosphorylation of a set of well-studied LRRK2 biomarker phosphorylation sites at the N-terminal region of LRRK2, including Ser935. These findings emphasize that the biomarker phosphorylation sites on LRRK2 are likely reporting on the open- vs closed conformation of LRRK2 kinase and that only inhibitors which stabilize the closed conformation induce dephosphorylation of these biomarker sites. Finally, we demonstrate that the LRRK2[A2016T] mutant which is resistant to MLi-2 Type 1 inhibitor, also induces resistance to GZD-824 and Rebastinib suggestings this mutation could be exploited to distinguish off target effects of Type II inhibitors. Our observations provide a framework of knowledge to aide with the development of more selective Type II LRRK2 inhibitors. <strong>FILE DESCRIPTIONS</strong> The blots shown in the Figures were developed using the two fluorescent channels available in LI-COR (800 nM, green – 700 nM, red). Different contrasts of the same membranes have been uploaded. <strong>Figure 2 </strong> <strong>Figure_2A-quantitations.xls</strong>:<strong> </strong>raw data for charts in Figure 2A <strong>Figure_2A_700_1-LRRK2_Rab10_totals_GAPDH.png </strong> Top to bottom 1: total LRRK2 blot shown in Figure 2A 2: GPDH loading control for blots in Figure 2A and total Rab10 shown in Figure 2A.
