Evidence NMR The solution structure of the C-terminal region of CALCOCO2 (residues 365-446) was determined. In the final structure, the extreme C-terminal region, including the second CPXC motif of CALCOCO2 (ZF1 domain, residues 414-446) was well defined, and a short alpha-helix in the ZF1 domain (residues 392-413), whereas the remaining region was too flexible to be well defined (Fig. S2C and D).Reference
Xenophagy-specific receptor required for autophagy-mediated intracellular bacteria degradation. Acts as an effector protein of galectin-sensed membrane damage that restricts the proliferation of infecting pathogens such as Salmonella typhimurium upon entry into the cytosol by targeting LGALS8-associated bacteria for autophagy (PubMed:22246324). Initially orchestrates bacteria targeting to autophagosomes and subsequently ensures pathogen degradation by regulating pathogen-containing autophagosome maturation (PubMed:23022382, PubMed:25771791). Bacteria targeting to autophagosomes relies on its interaction with MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B and/or GABARAPL2, whereas regulation of pathogen-containing autophagosome maturation requires the interaction with MAP3LC3C (PubMed:23022382, PubMed:25771791). May play a role in ruffle formation and actin cytoskeleton organization and seems to negatively regulate constitutive secretion (PubMed:17635994).
