Differential roles of N- and C-terminal LIR motifs in the catalytic activity and membrane targeting of RavZ and ATG4B proteins.
Article in BMB reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mammalian ATG8 proteins (mATG8s) are essential for selective autophagy because they recruit various proteins with LC3- interacting region (LIR) motifs to autophagic membranes. The RavZ protein, secreted by Legionella pneumophila, and mammalian ATG4B possess functional LIR motifs that participate in lipidated mATG8 deconjugation on autophagic membranes. RavZ comprises three functional LIR motifs at the N- and Cterminal sides of its catalytic domain (CAD). This study demonstrated that LIR motifs at the N-terminal side of the CAD of RavZ are involved in autophagic membrane targeting and substrate recognition, while LIR motif at the C-terminal side facilitate autophagic membrane targeting. Our results also revealed that the C-terminal LIR motif in human ATG4B is pivotal in delipidating LC3B-phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), but it plays a minor role in pro-LC3B priming in the cytosol. Therefore, introducing a functional LIR motif to the N-terminal of ATG4B does not affect LC3B-PE delipidation. This study clearly described the position-dependent roles of LIR motifs in RavZ and ATG4B in cellular contexts. [BMB Reports 2024; 57(11): 497-502].
