Gabarapl1 (gec1) was first described as an estrogen regulated gene which shares a high sequence homology with the gabarap gene. We previously demonstrated that GABARAPL1, like GABARAP, interacts with the GABAA receptor and tubulin and promotes tubulin polymerization. Previous work has demonstrated that the GABARAP family members (GABARAP, LC3, GATE-16 and Atg8) are not only involved in the transport of proteins or vesicles but are also implicated in various mechanisms such as autophagy, cell death, cell proliferation and tumor progression. We therefore asked whether GABARAPL1 might also play a role in autophagy. First, we showed that GABARAPL1 is cleaved at glycine 116, a residue which is conserved in other members of the family. We also demonstrated that GABARAPL1 is linked to phospholipids, delipidated by Atg4B, associated with intracellular membranes and accumulated in intracellular vesicles after inhibition of lysosomal activity. Finally, we showed that GABARAPL1 partially colocalizes with LC3 or Lysotracker green in intracellular vesicles. Taken together, our results demonstrate that GABARAPL1 associates with autophagic vesicles.

Article Synopsis
- - Eosinophils are key players in asthma inflammation, releasing harmful proteins like major basic protein (MBP) that damage airway cells and contribute to asthma symptoms.
- - Poly-l-arginine (PLA), which mimics MBP, induces a new cell death mechanism called ferroptosis in airway cells by reducing GABARAPL1 levels, which is linked to eosinophil activity in asthma.
- - Targeting the relationship between eosinophils, MBP, and the mTORC1/PBX1/GABARAPL1 signaling pathway could provide new ways to treat asthma by reducing inflammation and preventing cell death in the airway epithelium.

Acrylamide (ACR), a chemical extensively utilized in industry and food processing sectors, has been recognized for its potentially irreversible adverse effect on male reproductive system; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Our study reveals that ACR markedly triggers oxidative stress-mediated autophagy and upregulates the expression of GABAA-receptor-associated protein like-1 (GABARAPL1). Intriguingly, overexpression of GABARAPL1 significantly induces autophagy, while its knockdown alleviates ACR-induced autophagic responses, underscoring its pivotal function.

Background: The tumor microenvironment (TME) could be critical in carcinogenesis, immune evasion, and treatment response. TME-related genes are limited in their ability to predict gastric cancer (GC) outcomes. We utilized data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to investigate the functional roles of TME-related genes in GC.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) using a multi-omics approach that integrates single-cell RNA sequencing and gene expression analysis to understand its genetic basis.
- - Researchers identified 1,164 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across four key cell types involved in IDD, with a focus on 122 genes related to programmed cell death.
- - Key regulatory genes such as SLC40A1, PTGS2, and GABARAPL1 were highlighted for their potential therapeutic roles in treating IDD, and the study also uncovered distinct cell subpopulations and gene expression dynamics.

Atg8 proteins play a crucial role in autophagy. There is a single Atg8 isoform in yeast, while mammals have up to seven homologs categorized into LC3s and GABARAPs. The GABARAP subfamily consists of GABARAP, GABARAPL1, and GABARAPL2/GATE16, implicated in various stages along the pathway.
