Figure 10. Conformation of the Switch II in the LRRK2RCKW.
Left panel shows the α3ROC helix and Switch II (red circle) with key residues highlighted. Right panel shows how this Switch II adopts a different conformation in LRRK2RCKW compared with fl-LRRK2INACT (Figure 7). The hydrophobic knob residues H1405 and F1401 in Switch II have rearranged significantly in LRRK2RCKW. They now point towards CORA and the region from residues 1406–1411 is disordered. Additionally, R1398 is recruited to the ROC:CORB interface.
