Summary
GABARAPL1 (GABA type A receptor associated protein like 1, HGNC:4068) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.2, encoding Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor-associated protein-like 1 (Q9H0R8). Ubiquitin-like modifier that increases cell-surface expression of kappa-type opioid receptor through facilitating anterograde intracellular trafficking of the receptor.
Enables Tat protein binding activity; phospholipid binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to nitrogen starvation and macroautophagy. Located in several cellular components, including autophagosome; ciliary basal body; and mitochondrion.

Function. Ubiquitin-like modifier that increases cell-surface expression of kappa-type opioid receptor through facilitating anterograde intracellular trafficking of the receptor. Involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles. While LC3s are involved in elongation of the phagophore membrane, the GABARAP/GATE-16 subfamily is essential for a later stage in autophagosome maturation. Through its interaction with the reticulophagy receptor TEX264, participates in the remodeling of subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum into autophagosomes upon nutrient stress, which then fuse with lysosomes for endoplasmic reticulum turnover.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ATG13, OPRK1, RB1CC1 and ULK1. Interacts with TP53INP1 and TP53INP2. Directly interacts with SQSTM1. Interacts with ATG3, ATG7 and MAP15. Interacts with TECPR2. Interacts with TBC1D5. Interacts with MAPK15. Interacts with TRIM5. Interacts with MEFV and TRIM21. Interacts with WDFY3. Interacts with the reticulophagy receptor TEX264. Interacts with UBA5. Interacts with KBTBD6 and KBTBD7; the interaction is direct. Interacts with reticulophagy regulators RETREG1, RETREG2 and RETREG3. Interacts with IRGM. Interacts with DNM2. Interacts with NCOA4 (via C-terminus). (Microbial infection) Interacts with Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus protein VIRF-1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Autophagosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. Expressed at very high levels in the brain, heart, peripheral blood leukocytes, liver, kidney, placenta and skeletal muscle. Expressed at very low levels in thymus and small intestine. In the brain, expression is particularly intense in motoneurons in the embryo and in neurons involved in somatomotor and neuroendocrine functions in the adult, particularly in the substantia nigra pars compacta.
Post-translational modifications. The precursor molecule is cleaved by ATG4 (ATG4A, ATG4B, ATG4C or ATG4D) to expose the glycine at the C-terminus and form the cytosolic form, GABARAPL1-I. The processed form is then activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, GABARAPL1-II. During non-canonical autophagy, the processed form is conjugated to phosphatidylserine (PS) phospholipid. ATG4 proteins also mediate the delipidation of PE-conjugated forms required for GABARAPL1 recycling when autophagosomes fuse with lysosomes. In addition, ATG4B and ATG4D mediate delipidation of ATG8 proteins conjugated to PS during non-canonical autophagy. ATG4B constitutes the major protein for proteolytic activation. ATG4D is the main enzyme for delipidation activity. (Microbial infection) The Legionella effector RavZ is a deconjugating enzyme that hydrolyzes the amide bond between the C-terminal glycine residue and an adjacent aromatic residue in ATG8 proteins conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), producing an ATG8 protein that is resistant to reconjugation by the host machinery due to the cleavage of the reactive C-terminal glycine. RavZ is also able to mediate delipidation of ATG8 proteins conjugated to phosphatidylserine (PS).
Similarity. Belongs to the ATG8 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 71 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
