Citation | Journal: Cell / Year: 2026Title: The structural basis for LRRK2's activation and autoinhibition. Authors: Amalia Villagran Suarez / Kathryn S Hatch / Tatyana Bodrug / Wei Gai / Katherine J Surridge / Elizabeth Moussikhina / Kendrick H V Nguyen / Marta Sanz-Murillo / Robert Callahan / Erica Xiong ...Authors: Amalia Villagran Suarez / Kathryn S Hatch / Tatyana Bodrug / Wei Gai / Katherine J Surridge / Elizabeth Moussikhina / Kendrick H V Nguyen / Marta Sanz-Murillo / Robert Callahan / Erica Xiong / Delisa Ramos / Lawrence Zhu / Verena Dederer / Sebastian Mathea / Janet Iwasa / Stefan Knapp / Kevan M Shokat / Samara L Reck-Peterson / Andres E Leschziner / ![]() Abstract: Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the second most common cause of autosomal-dominant Parkinson's disease (PD), and increased LRRK2 kinase activity is also observed in idiopathic ...Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the second most common cause of autosomal-dominant Parkinson's disease (PD), and increased LRRK2 kinase activity is also observed in idiopathic PD, making LRRK2 a major actionable therapeutic target. LRRK2 is a 286-kDa multidomain enzyme containing a Ras-like GTPase (ROC) and a kinase domain. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), biochemical reconstitution, and cell-based assays, we show that the ROC GTPase governs switching between autoinhibited and active states: GTP binding promotes activation, whereas GDP binding enforces autoinhibition. Two common PD-linked mutations, G2019S and R1441C/G/H, activate LRRK2 through distinct structural mechanisms, revealing genotype-specific routes to dysregulation. These findings provide a unified framework for understanding LRRK2 regulation with broad therapeutic implications. Stabilizing the guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-bound state may inhibit LRRK2 by maintaining autoinhibition, whereas promoting the GTP-bound state could be advantageous in specific cellular contexts, such as the lung, where increased LRRK2 kinase activity may play protective or regulatory roles. | |||||||||
