Fig. 6. Atg12–5-16/ATG12–5-16L1 and Atg3/ATG3 catalyze lipidation of Atg8/LC3 family proteins.

a The lipidation system of LC3. ATG4 cleaves the C-terminal residues of LC3 to expose glycine (G) residue. Then, LC3 is activated by ATG7 (E1 enzyme) and transferred to ATG3 (E2 enzyme). ATG12–5-16L1 complex facilitates the transfer of LC3 from ATG3 to PE. A PI3P-binding protein WIPI2B controls membrane recruitment of ATG12–5-16L1 complex under starvation condition. b The domain structures of H. sapiens ATG16L1 and S. cerevisiae Atg16 proteins. c The domain structures of H. sapiens ATG3 and S. cerevisiae Atg3 proteins. CC coiled-coil, AH amphipathic helix, FR flexible region, HR handle region, AIM Atg8 family-interacting motif.
