Abstract

Establishing the hATG8 binding selectivity of AIM (autophagy-interacting motif) sequences found within autophagy system proteins provides insights into their biological roles, and in the case of disease-associated AIM mutations, potential pathophysiological mechanisms. Given the sometimes small differences in affinity for an individual AIM amongst the six hATG8 proteins, establishing AIM preferences can be experimentally challenging. We describe a native mass spectrometry method that is suitable for detecting such differences, using synthetic AIM peptides and recombinant hATG8 proteins, to probe hATG8-AIM interactions in the gas phase. Binding preferences of a single AIM peptide against multiple hATG8s, or two AIM peptides against a single hATG8 (e.g., wild-type versus mutant AIM), may be determined.
