LRRK1 forms a complex with activated EGFR via Grb2, is co-internalized with EGF into early endosomes, regulates EGFR transport from early to late endosomes in a kinase-dependent manner, and serves as a scaffold facilitating EGFR interaction with the ESCRT-0 complex for sorting into multivesicular body intraluminal vesicles. |

EGFR phosphorylates LRRK1 at Tyr-944, reducing LRRK1 kinase activity; mutation Y944F abolishes this phosphorylation, causing hyperactivation of LRRK1, enhanced endosome motility toward the perinuclear region, and defective multivesicular body formation — establishing a feedback loop where EGFR downregulates LRRK1 during endosomal trafficking. |

EGFR is a LRRK1-specific interactor (not LRRK2), while 14-3-3 proteins are LRRK2-specific; EGF stimulation induces translocation of LRRK1 (but not LRRK2) to endosomes, confirming distinct cellular functions; phosphosite mapping of LRRK1 reveals phosphosites outside 14-3-3 consensus binding motifs. |

Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in LRRK1 cause osteosclerotic metaphyseal dysplasia in humans; in vitro functional studies using osteoclasts from Lrrk1-deficient mice confirmed that the human deletion is a loss-of-function mutation, establishing LRRK1 as essential for osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and bone mass regulation. |

LRRK1 acts as a scaffold at ER-endosome contact sites to facilitate PTP1B-mediated dephosphorylation of EGFR (at pY944 on LRRK1 and on EGFR itself); LRRK1 is required for the PTP1B-EGFR interaction in response to EGF; PTP1B in turn reactivates LRRK1 by dephosphorylating pY944, promoting EGFR-endosome transport to the perinuclear region; this establishes the ER-endosome contact site as a hub for LRRK1-dependent EGFR trafficking regulation. |
