TBK1 phosphorylates GABARAP-L2 S87/88. In order to test if this phosphomimetic mutation in GABARAP-L2 changes its binding to other proteins a mass spectrometry based interactome study was performed.
In order to identify TBK1-mediated GABARAP-L2 and LC3C phosphorylation sites, cells were treated with TBK1 or control siRNA and TBK1 kinase activity was induced by treatment with CCCP.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major cause of dementia and a prevalent age-related neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by progressive cognitive impairment and memory loss. Although metabolic activation or dysfunction of microglia is implicated in AD pathogenesis, the phospholipid metabolism–ass...
