We published a paper in Neuron showing that LRRK2/LRRK, a protein mutated in Parkinson patients, directly phosphorylates EndophilinA, a protein critical for synaptic endocytosis.   The most commonly found mutation in LRRK2, a G2019S transition causes increased kinase activity, but numerous other mutations exist as well.  We show that LRRK...

We recently published a paper where we show that vitaminK2 is not only an electron carrier in the bacterial membrane but also in electron transfer chain in mitochondria.  This function of K2 improves mitochondrial function and rescues defects in flies with mitochondrial defects, including pink1 and parkin mutant flies that...
