Rab GTPases are key regulators of vesicle-mediated transport and are proposed to play a crucial role in the pathobiology of Parkinson's disease. As membrane trafficking seems to be a relevant pathway altered in Parkinson' disease, understanding the role of Rab GTPases in the disease progression could open a window for therapeutic interventions. In this review, we focus on the recent advances on the role of Rab GTPases in the biology of two main proteins involved in Parkinson's disease: LRRK2 and α-synuclein, given that mutations in their genes (LRRK2 and SNCA) cause familial and sporadic Parkinson's disease.
Rab GTPases 是囊泡介导运输的关键调节剂,据推测在帕金森病的病理生物学中发挥着至关重要的作用。由于膜运输似乎是帕金森病中改变的相关途径,因此了解 Rab GTPases 在疾病进展中的作用可能为治疗干预开辟新的途径。在这篇综述中,我们专注于 Rab GTPases 在两种主要与帕金森病相关的蛋白质(LRRK2 和 α-突触核蛋白)生物学中的最新研究进展,鉴于它们的基因突变(LRRK2 和 SNCA)会导致家族性和散发性帕金森病。
