Table 2 ULK2-specific motif details from the ELM resource (https://elm.eu.org/)52.

From: ULK1 and ULK2 are less redundant than previously thought: computational analysis uncovers distinct regulation and functions of these autophagy induction proteins

ULK2-specific motif name

Functional site class

Function

DOC_MAPK_DCC_7

MAPK docking motifs

Interaction towards the ERK1/2 and p38 subfamilies of MAP kinases, regulators of cellular signalling

LIG_APCC_ABBA_1

APCC activator-binding ABBA motif

Regulation of APC/C activity in ubiquitination for proteasome-dependent degradation in a cycle-dependent manner

LIG_CaM_IQ_9

Helical calmodulin binding motifs

Primary receptor of intracellular Ca2 + capable of responding to a wide range of calcium concentration and translates the Ca2 + -signal into cellular processes

LIG_EF_ALG2_ABM_2

ALG-2 EF hand ligand

Binding to ALG-2 protein in a Ca2 + -dependent manner. ALG-2 has been implicated in ER-stress-induced apoptosis, cell cycle progression, the endosomal pathway, and cancer

LIG_SH2_GRB2like

Phosphotyrosine ligands bound by SH2 domains

Binding to specific motifs containing a phosphorylated tyrosine residue, propagating the signal downstream promoting protein–protein interaction and/or modifying enzymatic activities

LIG_TRAF6

TRAF6 binding site

Initiation of intracellular signalling caused by members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, and direct interaction with intracellular regions of various TNF cytokine receptors

LIG_WW_1

WW domain ligands

Recognition of proteins that contain the motif PPXY, being involved in many cellular processes such as ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation and mitotic regulation and several human diseases
