Conserved LIR-specific interaction of Sigma-1 receptor and GABARAP [PDF]
Summary: Among its various functions, the sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) has been reported to modulate macroautophagy. It is currently unknown how this activity is mediated. We phylogenetically, structurally, and biochemically analyzed σ1R regarding its function

Enrichment of GABARAP relative to LC3 in the axonal initial segments of neurons.
GABAA receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) was initially identified as a protein that interacts with GABAA receptor. Although LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3), a GABARAP homolog, has been localized in the dendrites and cell bodies of

Critical assessment of LC3/GABARAP ligands used for degrader development and ligandability of LC3/GABARAP binding pockets [PDF]
Recent successes in developing small molecule degraders that act through the ubiquitin system have spurred efforts to extend this technology to other mechanisms, including the autophagosomal-lysosomal pathway.

GABARAP and GABAA Receptor Clustering [PDF]
Coyle et al. (2002), in this issue of Neuron, reveal the crystal structure for the GABA(A) receptor binding protein, GABARAP. They show GABARAP can switch from a monomer to an extended linear polymer form that may function to assemble microtubules during the intracellular trafficking or postsynaptic clustering of GABA(A) receptors.

The highly GABARAP specific rat monoclonal antibody 8H5 visualizes GABARAP in immunofluorescence imaging at endogenous levels [PDF]
Abstract The determination of unique functions of GABARAP (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor-associated protein), a member of the highly conserved protein family of mammalian autophagy-related 8 protein (mATG8), within diverse cellular processes remains challenging.

Ceramide and the membrane-fusion activity of LC3/GABARAP autophagy proteins [PDF]
Macroautophagy is a cellular degradation process characterized by the formation of the double-membrane structure termed autophagosome (AP). The process of AP formation is not fully understood, but it is thought to happen through the combined action of ...

Structural characterization of GABARAP–ligand interactions
Abstract The GABAAreceptor-associated protein (GABARAP) plays an important role in intracellular trafficking of several proteins. It undergoes a C-terminal lipidation process that enables anchoring in the cytosolic leaflet of cellular membranes.

Crystal structure of the GABAA‐receptor‐associated protein, GABARAP [PDF]
The GABA(A)-receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) is a member of a growing family of intracellular membrane trafficking and/or fusion proteins and has been implicated in plasma membrane targeting and/or recycling of GABA(A) receptors. GABARAP is localized on intracellular membranes such as the trans-Golgi network, binds to the gamma 2 subunit of GABA(A)

The sigma-1 receptor as a neurohomeostatic decision hub for GABARAP-mediated receptor trafficking and macroautophagy [PDF]
Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) is a multifunctional member of the autophagy-related (ATG8) protein family, playing key roles in two distinct cellular pathways: macroautophagy and plasma membrane protein trafficking.

Bioorthogonal Tools for Ethanolamine Lipids and Protein Conjugates. [PDF]
An alkyne‐tagged ethanolamine analog (AlkEA) enables bioorthogonal, metabolic labeling of endogenous phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and its protein modifications. AlkEA is incorporated into PE via the Kennedy pathway, allowing CuAAC‐based visualization of PE and affinity capture of PE‐conjugated LC3, ubiquitin, and GPI‐anchored proteins.
