Effect of LC3B-115 on ATG4b activity. (a) Schematic illustration of the mass spectrometry-based assay to monitor the cleavage of pro-LC3B to LC3B-I in the presence of LC3B-115. (b) The cleavage of 1 μM pro-LC3B by 50 nM ATG4b in the presence of increasing concentrations of LC3B-115 was monitored by mass spectrometry. LC3B-115 inhibited the cleavage with an IC50 ∼15 nM. (c) Scheme of the ATG4b-mediated cleavage of peptide substrate-33. (d) Steady-state kinetic measurement of ATG4b-mediated cleavage of the fluorescent peptide substrate-33 in the presence and absence of 50 μM LC3B-115.
