A homologue of the Parkinson’s disease-associated protein LRRK2 undergoes a monomer-dimer transition during GTP turnover

The Parkinson’s disease‐associated LRRK2 protein is a multidomain Roco protein with GTPase activity. Here the authors use a multidisciplinary approach to characterize the GTPase mechanism of a homologous bacterial Roco protein and give mechanistic insights into disease-causing LRRK2 mutations.
