Mammalian ATG8 proteins drive autophagosome formation and selective removal of protein aggregates and organelles by recruiting autophagy receptors and adaptors that contain a LC3-interacting region (LIR) motif. LIR motifs can be highly selective for ATG8 subfamily proteins (LC3s/GABARAPs), however the molecular determinants regulating these selective interactions remain elusive. Here we show that residues within the core LIR motif and adjacent C-terminal region as well as ATG8 subfamily-specific residues in the LIR docking site are critical for binding of receptors and adaptors to GABARAPs. Moreover, rendering GABARAP more LC3B-like impairs autophagy receptor degradation. Modulating LIR binding specificity of the centriolar satellite protein PCM1, implicated in autophagy and centrosomal function, alters its dynamics in cells. Our data provides new mechanistic insight into how selective binding of LIR motifs to GABARAPs is achieved, and elucidate the overlapping and distinct functions of ATG8 subfamily proteins. date: 2019-05-03 date_type: published publisher: NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP official_url: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10059-6 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1662475 doi: 10.1038/s41467-019-10059-6 language_elements: English lyricists_name: Wirth, Martina Barbara lyricists_id: MWIRT57 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Nature Communications volume: 10 article_number: 2055 pages: 18 issn: 2041-1723 citation: Wirth, M; Zhang, W; Razi, M; Nyoni, L; Joshi, D; O'Reilly, N; Johansen, T; ...
