Gene Description

GABARAP (gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor-associated protein) is a ubiquitin-like protein of the Atg8 family (GABARAP subfamily). Like other Atg8 proteins it is processed by ATG4 to expose a C-terminal glycine (Gly116) and is conjugated by ATG7, ATG3 and the ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L1 complex to phosphatidylethanolamine on phagophore and autophagosome membranes (form II). Its hydrophobic LIR-docking site binds LC3-interacting region motifs, with a preference for GABARAP-interaction motifs, in autophagy receptors and effectors. GABARAP-subfamily proteins contribute to autophagosome formation and are the main Atg8 proteins for autophagosome-lysosome fusion, where they recruit PLEKHM1, and for PINK1/Parkin mitophagy; GABARAP also binds ER-phagy receptors such as UBAC2 and TEX264. On conjugated endolysosomal and autophagic membranes it sequesters the FLCN-FNIP complex through an LIR in FNIP, blocking RagC/D activation and so allowing TFEB/TFE3 nuclear entry and lysosome biogenesis. GABARAP was first identified as a binding partner of the GABA(A) receptor gamma2 subunit that also binds tubulin and is linked to receptor trafficking in neurons; it additionally scaffolds the CUL3-KBTBD6/7 ubiquitin ligase on membranes to degrade the RAC1 activator TIAM1.

GO:0000045 autophagosome assembly
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: GABARAP-subfamily proteins on the phagophore contribute to autophagosome biogenesis.
Reason: Atg8-family proteins promote efficient autophagosome formation (loss of all six gives smaller, slower-forming autophagosomes). GABARAP mainly acts at later steps, but its participation in assembly at the membrane is supported and consistent with the IBA.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:27864321
loss of all Atg8s yields smaller autophagosomes and a slowed initial rate of autophagosome formation
PMID:20418806
our results indicate that LC3s are involved in elongation of the phagophore membrane whereas the GABARAP/GATE-16 subfamily is essential for a later stage in autophagosome maturation

Summary: A pool of GABARAP is associated with Golgi membranes, particularly in neurons.
Reason: Transferred from rat/mouse GABARAP; consistent with the Golgi-associated pool implicated in GABA(A) receptor trafficking, which is a secondary function.
Supporting Evidence:

Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15169837
Generation of the form II correlates with autophagosome association of GABARAP and GATE16.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is the GABA(A) receptor trafficking role of GABARAP lipidation-dependent, and does it use the same LIR-docking site as autophagy partners?

Q: Which GABARAP functions (PLEKHM1 recruitment, FLCN-FNIP sequestration) are shared with GABARAPL1 and GABARAPL2, and which are specific to GABARAP?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Re-express GABARAP alone, or LIR-docking-site mutants, in Atg8 hexa-knockout cells and measure PLEKHM1 recruitment, autophagosome-lysosome fusion and TFEB nuclear translocation.

Hypothesis: GABARAP alone is sufficient to restore fusion and FLCN-FNIP-dependent TFEB activation.
