- Human Autophagins, a Family of Cysteine Proteinases Potentially Implicated in Cell Degradation by AutophagyJournal of Biological ChemistryVol. 278Issue 6
- PreviewWe have cloned four human cDNAs encoding putative cysteine proteinases that have been tentatively called autophagins. These proteins are similar to Apg4/Aut2, a yeast enzyme involved in the activation of Apg8/Aut7 during the process of autophagy. The identified proteins ranging in length from 393 to 474 amino acids also contain several structural features characteristic of cysteine proteinases including a conserved cysteine residue that is essential for the catalytic properties of these enzymes.
