Structural basis for Parkinson’s Disease-linked LRRK2’s binding to microtubules
2022-01-22
Abstract excerpt
Leucine Rich Repeat Kinase 2 ( LRRK2 ) is one of the most commonly mutated genes in familial Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Under some circumstances, LRRK2 co-localizes with microtubules in cells, an association enhanced by PD mutations. We report a cryo-electron microscopy structure of the catalytic half of LRRK2, containing its kinase, which is in a closed conformation, and GTPase domains, bound to microtubules. We...
