Protein ATG8ylation is a post-translational modification where ubiquitin-like protein LC3/ATG8 forms covalent conjugation with cellular proteins, a process reversed by ATG4. In contrast to the well-characterized ATG8 lipidation/membrane ATG8ylation, research on protein ATG8ylation remains limited. In this study, we identify deconjugation-resistant LC3B Q116A and F80A/L82A mutants as tools for protein ATG8ylation. We demonstrate that protein ATG8ylation depends exclusively on ATG4, ATG3, and ATG7 ...[more]
