Elucidation of the anti-autophagy mechanism of the Legionella effector RavZ using semisynthetic LC3 proteins
10 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a conserved cellular process involved in the elimination of proteins and organelles. It is also used to combat infection with pathogenic microbes. The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila manipulates autophagy by delivering the effector protein RavZ to deconjugate Atg8/LC3 proteins coupled to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) on autophagosomal membranes. To understand how RavZ recognizes and...
