Abstract excerpt
In yeast, phosphatidylethanolamine is a target of the Atg8 modifier in ubiquitylation-like reactions essential for autophagy. Three human Atg8 (hAtg8) homologs, LC3, GABARAP, and GATE-16, have been characterized as modifiers in reactions mediated by hAtg7 (an E1-like enzyme) and hAtg3 (an E2-like enzyme) as in yeast Atg8 lipidation, but their final targets have not been identified. The results of a recent study...
