Caption

This image depicts a model for how LRRK2 could block critical movement across the cell. The visualization shows a short LRRK2 filament (red, green and yellow) wrapped around a cellular track called a microtubule, forming a roadblock for the microtubule-based motors kinesin (light blue) and dynein (blue).
