Specifically hydrolyzes the amide bond between the C-terminal glycine residue and an adjacent aromatic residue in ATG8 proteins conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), producing an ATG8 protein that cannot be reconjugated by host ATG7 and ATG3 (PubMed:23112293, PubMed:29458288, PubMed:32686895, PubMed:26343456, PubMed:28395732). Mechanistically, Ravz interacts with ATG8 proteins conjugated to PE via its LIR motifs, extracts them from the membrane of autophagosomes and integrates the PE part into its own lipid-binding site (PubMed:28395732). It then removes the lipid component of the ATG8 protein (PubMed:28395732). Also able to mediate delipidation of ATG8 proteins conjugated to phosphatidylserine (PS) during non-canonical autophagy (PubMed:33909989). Inhibits host ubiquitin recruitment to bacteria-containing vacuoles, suggesting that it is able to mediate delipidation of other proteins in addition to ATG8 proteins (PubMed:28971069). It is however not involved in the exclusion of autophagy adapters from bacteria-containing vacuoles decorated with ubiquitin (PubMed:32482642). Publication Abstract from PubMed Autophagy is a conserved cellular process involved in the elimination of proteins and organelles. It is also used to combat infection with pathogenic microbes. The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila manipulates autophagy by delivering the effector protein RavZ to deconjugate Atg8/LC3 proteins coupled to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) on autophagosomal membranes. To understand how RavZ recognizes and deconjugates LC3-PE, we prepared semisynthetic LC3 proteins and elucidated the structures of the RavZ:LC3 interaction. Semisynthetic LC3 proteins allowed the analysis of structure-function relationships. RavZ extracts LC3-PE from the membrane before deconjugation. RavZ initially recognizes the LC3 molecule on membranes via its N-terminal LC3-interacting region (LIR) motif. The RavZ alpha3 helix is involved in extraction of the PE moiety and docking of the acyl chains into the lipid-binding site of RavZ that is related in structure to that of the phospholipid transfer protein Sec14. Thus, Legionella has evolved a novel mechanism to specifically evade host autophagy.
