    Summary
    Enables protein-phosphatidylethanolamide deconjugating activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoplasm to vacuole targeting by the Cvt pathway; piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus; and protein delipidation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to several human genes including ATG4D (autophagy related 4D cysteine peptidase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. findings showt Atg4 is recruited onto autophagosomal membranes by direct binding to Atg8 via two evolutionarily conserved Atg8 recognition sites; propose a model where Atg4 activity on autophagosomal membranes depends on cooperative action of at least 2 sites within Atg4, in which one functions as a constitutive Atg8 binding module, while the other has a preference toward phosphatidylethanolamine-bound Atg8
      Title: Conserved Atg8 recognition sites mediate Atg4 association with autophagosomal membranes and Atg8 deconjugation.
    2. Data show that phosphorylation by Atg1 inhibits Atg4 at autophagosome formation sites.
      Title: Atg4 proteolytic activity can be inhibited by Atg1 phosphorylation.
    3. Results provide evidence that Atg4 plays an important role in efficient expansion of autophagic isolation membranes by cleaving lipidated Atg8 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
