Phosphorylation of the mitochondrial autophagy receptor Nix enhances its interaction with LC3 proteins

Abstract The mitophagy receptor Nix interacts with LC3/GABARAP proteins, targeting mitochondria into autophagosomes for degradation. Here we present evidence for phosphorylation-driven regulation of the Nix:LC3B interaction. Isothermal titration calorimetry and NMR indicate a ~100 fold enhanced affi...
