The GABARAP Co-Secretome Identified by APEX2-GABARAP Proximity Labelling of Extracellular Vesicles [PDF]
The autophagy-related ATG8 protein GABARAP has not only been shown to be involved in the cellular self-degradation process called autophagy but also fulfils functions in intracellular trafficking processes such as receptor transport to the plasma ...

The crystal structure of the FAM134B–GABARAP complex provides mechanistic insights into the selective binding of FAM134 to the GABARAP subfamily [PDF]
The mammalian Atg8 family (Atg8s proteins) consists of two subfamilies: GABARAP and LC3. All members can bind to the LC3‐interacting region (LIR) or Atg8‐interacting motif and participate in multiple steps of autophagy.

Structural and Functional analysis of the GABARAP interaction motif (GIM) [PDF]
© 2017 The Authors. Published under the terms of the CC BY 4.0 license. Through the canonical LC3 interaction motif (LIR), [W/F/Y]-X 1 -X 2 -[I/L/V], protein complexes are recruited to autophagosomes to perform their functions as either autophagy ...

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.

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 ...

NCOA4 initiates ferritinophagy by avidly binding GATE16 using two short linear interaction motifs [PDF]
This study shows that NCOA4 engages GATE16 through two short linear motifs that bind avidly to support ferritinophagy, revealing how multivalent LC3/GABARAP interactions confer specificity and suggesting that iron directly regulates NCOA4•GATE16 binding ...

Mechanisms and roles of membrane-anchored ATG8s [PDF]
Autophagy-related protein 8 (ATG8) family proteins, including LC3 and GABARAP subfamilies, are pivotal in canonical autophagy, driving autophagosome formation, cargo selection, and lysosomal fusion.

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.

GABARAPs regulate PI4P-dependent autophagosome:lysosome fusion [PDF]
Significance Autophagy is an essential homeostatic process that is critically important for maintaining health and that is dysregulated in multiple devastating diseases. The steps in the final stages of autophagy that culminate in autophagosome:lysosome fusion are not well understood.
