📣 New #publication from CRN Team Alessi identifies the crystal structure of a lysosomal protein linked to waste clearance and recruitment of adaptor proteins — offering insight into #ParkinsonsDisease and potential therapeutic targets. 🔗 bit.ly/4sQgI6p
Structural basis for binding of RILPL1 to TMEM55B reveals a lysosomal platform for adaptor assembly through a conserved peptide motif.

Enzyme Inhibition Restores Neuron Pathways in a Parkinson's Mouse Model
Inhibition of LKKR2 may rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson’s disease that is caused by a single genetic mutation.

CRN Team Alessi showed that PPM1H phosphatase contains an inhibitory binding site for its non-phosphorylated reaction products, Rab8A and Rab10, but not Rab12. 🔗 Check out their recent #preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.16.654599v1 ✏️ @suzannepfeffer.bsky.social
Alphafold model of PPM1H bound to its phosphoRab10 substrate and non-phosphoRab10 allosteric regulator.
