A cancer associated somatic mutation in LC3B attenuates its binding to E1-like ATG7 protein and subsequent lipidation.

Abstract:

:Macroautophagy/autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that maintains cellular homeostasis under basal growth and stress conditions. In cancer, autophagy can either prevent or promote tumor growth, at early or advanced stages, respectively. We screened public databases to identify autophagy-related somatic mutations in cancer, using a computational approach to identify cancer mutational target sites, employing exact statistics. The top significant hit was a missense mutation (Y113C) in the MAP1LC3B/LC3B (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta) protein, which occurred at a significant frequency in cancer, and was detected in early stages in primary tumors of patients with known tumor lineage. The mutation reduced the formation of GFP-LC3B puncta and attenuated LC3B lipidation during Torin1-induced autophagy. Its effect on the direct physical interaction of LC3B with each of the 4 proteins that control its maturation or lipidation was tested by applying a protein-fragment complementation assay and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Interactions with ATG4A and ATG4B proteases were reduced, yet without perturbing the cleavage of mutant LC3B. Most importantly, the mutation significantly reduced the interaction with the E1-like enzyme ATG7, but not the direct interaction with the E2-like enzyme ATG3, suggesting a selective perturbation in the binding of LC3B to some of its partner proteins. Structure analysis and molecular dynamics simulations of LC3B protein and its mutant suggest that the mutation changes the conformation of a loop that has several contact sites with ATG4B and the ATG7 homodimer. We suggest that this loss-of-function mutation, which attenuates autophagy, may promote early stages of cancer development.
