A switch element in the autophagy E2 Atg3 mediates allosteric regulation across the lipidation cascade

Autophagy mediated by the conjugation pathway for ubiquitin-like proteins plays a key role in controlling homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. Here the authors provide a molecular basis for allosteric activation of the E2 ligase Atg3, uncovering the mechanism underlying Atg8 lipidation and a novel mecha...
