The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila interferes with autophagy by delivering an effector protein, cysteine protease RavZ, into the host cytosol. This effector protein cleaves membrane-conjugated Atg8/LC3 proteins from pre-autophagosomal structures [1-3]. RavZ is a two domain protein consisting of an N-terminal catalytic domain, which is represented in this entry, and a C-terminal phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P)-binding domain (Pfam:PF22225) [4].

The intracellular pathogen L. pneumophila interferes with autophagy by delivering an effector protein, RavZ, into the host cytosol. This effector protein cleaves membrane-conjugated Atg8/LC3 proteins from pre-autophagosomal structures. RavZ is a two domain protein consisting of an N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P)-binding domain [1]. RavZ targets the autophagosome via the PI3P-binding domain.
