E Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) | Autophagy-related protein 8 [ATG8]
Description | Component of autophagosomes and Cvt vesicles; regulator of Atg1p, targets it to autophagosomes; binds the Atg1p-Atg13p complex, triggering its vacuolar degradation; unique ubiquitin-like protein whose conjugation target is lipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE); Atg8p-PE is anchored to membranes, is involved in phagophore expansion, and may mediate membrane fusion during autophagosome formation; deconjugation of Atg8p-PE is required for efficient autophagosome biogenesis [Source:SGD;Acc:S000000174]; transcript_id=YBL078C_mRNA |
