Roc, or Ras of Complex, proteins are mitochondrial Rho proteins (Miro-1, Swiss:Q8IXI2, and Miro-2, Swiss:Q8IXI1) and atypical Rho GTPases. Full-length proteins have a unique domain organisation, with tandem GTP-binding domains and two EF hand domains (Pfam:PF00036) that may bind calcium. They are also larger than classical small GTPases. It has been proposed that they are involved in mitochondrial homeostasis and apoptosis [1,2,3,4].

The C-terminal of Roc domain, COR, along with Roc functions as the putative regulator of kinase activity. It functions as a proper GTP-binding protein with a low GTPase activity somehow stimulating the kinase activity [1]. COR is divided in two subdomains: COR-A and COR-B. This entry corresponds to COR-B, located at the C-terminal of COR. COR-B serves as the main dimerisation interface in the full-length LRRK2 structure [3]. It interacts with the kinase domain, which is essential for LRRK2 kinase activity [2]. COR-B consists of four flanked helices, a central seven-stranded antiparallel sheet, and a hairpin motif [3].
