Testing whether distant structural changes support an allosteric pathway.

What would separate coupling from coincidence?

Which pathway perturbation would preserve lipid engagement yet eliminate the LC3 LIR receptor-binding response, and what distant conformational change would need to disappear with it to support causal coupling rather than coincident local changes?

What would establish coupling at the lipid-triggered site?

Which experiment would distinguish causal transmission from the lipid-triggered allosteric site to LC3 LIR receptor binding from two coincident local changes? Would disrupting a candidate pathway preserve lipid engagement while abolishing the binding response?
