Structural basis of FYCO1 and MAP1LC3A interaction reveals a novel binding mode for Atg8-family proteins
1 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
FYCO1 (FYVE and coiled-coil domain containing 1) functions as an autophagy adaptor in directly linking autophagosomes with the microtubule-based kinesin motor, and plays an essential role in the microtubule plus end-directed transport of autophagic vesicles. The specific association of FYCO1 with autophagosomes is mediated by its interaction with Atg8-family proteins decorated on the outer surface of...
