Recombinant human ATG4B protein
ATG4B, also known as cysteine protease ATG4B, is a cysteine protease required for autophagy, which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3, GABARAPL2 or GABARAP, allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form (form II) . Form II, with a revealed C-terminal glycine, is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) -conjugated form, and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes. Recombinant human ATG4B protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.
