Background: Autophagy, a process that results in the lysosomal-dependent degradation of cytosolic compartments, is carried out by the autophagosome, which is a double-membrane vesicle whose formation is catalyzed by several autophagyrelated gene (Atg) proteins. Atg4D (autophagy-related gene 4D), also known as APG4D or AUTL4, is a 474 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm and belongs to the C-54 family of cysteine proteases. Expressed predominately in skeletal muscle, but also present in testis, Atg4D functions as a cysteine protease that is required for autophagy and functions to specifically cleave the C-terminal region of target proteins, thereby allowing the target proteins to bind to autophagosomes. The enzymatic activity of Atg4D is inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, a thiol reactive compound that is capable of modifying cystine residues in proteins and peptides.

Extra Notes: Western blot analysis of ATG4D expression in A431 (A) whole cell lysates., Immunofluorescent analysis of ATG4D staining in U251 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).
