CC -!- FUNCTION: Cysteine protease that plays a key role in cytoplasm to
CC vacuole transport (Cvt) and autophagy by mediating both proteolytic
CC activation and delipidation of ATG8. Required for selective autophagic
CC degradation of the nucleus (nucleophagy) as well as for mitophagy which
CC contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by
CC eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular
CC energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production. The protease
CC activity is required for proteolytic activation of ATG8: cleaves the C-
CC terminal amino acid of ATG8 to reveal a C-terminal glycine. ATG8
CC ubiquitin-like activity requires the exposure of the glycine at the C-
CC terminus for its conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and its
CC insertion to membranes, which is necessary for autophagy. The ATG8-PE
CC conjugate mediates tethering between adjacent membranes and stimulates
CC membrane hemifusion, leading to expansion of the autophagosomal
CC membrane during autophagy. In addition to the protease activity, also
CC catalyzes deconjugation of PE-conjugated forms of ATG8 during
CC macroautophagy: ATG8 delipidation is required to release the protein
CC from membranes, which facilitates multiple events during
CC macroautophagy, and especially for efficient autophagosome biogenesis,
CC the assembly of ATG9-containing tubulovesicular clusters into
CC phagophores/autophagosomes, and for the disassembly of PAS-associated
CC ATG components. ATG8 delipidation by ATG4 also recycles ATG8-PE
CC generated on inappropriate membranes to maintain a reservoir of
CC unlipidated ATG8 that is required for autophagosome formation at the
CC PAS. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53867}.
