From the abstract: "LRRK2-mediated EndoA phosphorylation has profound effects on EndoA-dependent membrane tubulation and membrane association ... and on synaptic vesicle endocytosis at Drosophila neuromuscular junctions in vivo." The authors report use of both loss-of-function and gain-of-function genetic approaches in the study.
