Structural and mechanistic basis for membrane recognition and activation of the vacuolar lipase Atg15.

Abstract excerpt

Atg15 is a vacuolar phospholipase B essential for the degradation of intravacuolar vesicles such as autophagic bodies. Despite its central role in cellular membrane turnover, the molecular basis of how Atg15 is activated and acts on internal membranes has remained elusive. Here, by combining all-atom and coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with in vitro and in vivo analyses, we elucidate the...
