Description

This is Leschziner's Lab updated protocol for making cryo-EM grids for LRRK2 RCKW. This protocol, when using lower protein concentration, results in better monomer and dimer formation than the old protocol.

Scientific Perspectives: Structural Biology of LRRK2 and its Interaction with Microtubules

Mutations in LRRK2 are linked to Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 regulates membrane trafficking and interacts with microtubules. Recent studies have revealed its cytosolic and microtubule-bound forms using cryo-EM and cryo-ET techniques.
