Macleod DA, Rhinn H, Kuwahara T, Zolin A, Di Paolo G, Maccabe BD, Marder KS, Honig LS, Clark LN, Small SA, Abeliovich A. RAB7L1 Interacts with LRRK2 to Modify Intraneuronal Protein Sorting and Parkinson's Disease Risk. Neuron. 2013 Feb 6;77(3):425-39. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2012.11.033. PubMed PMID: 23395371.
From the Abstract: "Deficiency of the PARK16 locus gene RAB7L1 in primary rodent neurons, or of a RAB7L1 ortholog in Drosophila dopamine neurons, recapitulated degeneration observed with expression of a familial PD mutant form of LRRK2, whereas RAB7L1 overexpression rescued the LRRK2 mutant phenotypes."

From the abstract: "We investigated the effect of LRRK2 mutations (the most common cause of inherited PD) on Drosophila electroretinograms (ERGs). We reveal progressive loss of photoreceptor function in flies expressing LRRK2-G2019S in dopaminergic neurons."
