We performed quantitative mass spectrometry-based interactome studies to identify 48 novel LRRK2 interactors, including the microtubule-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM1 (Tripartite Motif Family 1). TRIM1 recruits LRRK2 to the microtubule cytoskeleton for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation by binding LRRK2822-982, a flexible interdomain region we designate the “Regulatory Loop” (RL). Phosphorylation of LRRK2 Ser910/935 within LRRK2 RL serves as a molecular switch controlling LRRK2’s association with cytoplasmic 14-3-3 versus microtubule-bound TRIM1. Association with TRIM1 prevents upregulation of LRRK2 kinase activity by Rab29 and also rescues neurite outgrowth deficits caused by PD-driving mutant LRRK2 G2019S. Our data suggest that TRIM1 is a critical regulator of LRRK2, modulating its cytoskeletal recruitment, turnover, kinase activity, and cytotoxicity.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
