Tissue specific LRRK2 interactomes reveal a distinct striatal functional unit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mutations in LRRK2 are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease. Despite substantial research efforts, the physiological and pathological role of this multidomain protein remains poorly defined. In this study, we used a systematic approach to construct the general protein-protein interactome around LRRK2, which was then evaluated taking into consideration the differential expression patterns and the co-expression behaviours of the LRRK2 interactors in 15 different healthy tissue types. The LRRK2 interactors exhibited distinct expression features in the brain as compared to the peripheral tissues analysed. Moreover, a high degree of similarity was found for the LRRK2 interactors in putamen, caudate and nucleus accumbens, thus defining a potential LRRK2 functional cluster within the striatum. The general LRRK2 interactome paired with the expression profiles of its members constitutes a powerful tool to generate tissue-specific LRRK2 interactomes. We exemplified the generation of the tissue-specific LRRK2 interactomes and explored the functions highlighted by the "core LRRK2 interactors" in the striatum in comparison with the cerebellum. Finally, we illustrated how the LRRK2 general interactome reported in this manuscript paired with the expression profiles can be used to trace the relationship between LRRK2 and specific interactors of interest, here focusing on the LRRK2 interactors belonging to the Rab protein family.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
