This is the N-terminal domain found in fungal Atg proteins such as Atg29. In yeast, the induction of autophagy begins at a single perivacuolar site that is proximal to the vacuole, called the phagophore assembly site (PAS) [1]. Atg17-Atg29-Atg31 complex (Atg1 complex) formation is a prerequisite for PAS assembly. Functional analysis indicate that the N-terminal half Atg29 can bind Atg31 [2].
This domain is found in the autophagy-related proteins ATG17 and ATG11, conserved across eukaryotes [1,2]. ATG17 forms a complex with ATG29 and ATG31, critical for both PAS (preautophagosomal structure) formation and autophagy. Together with ATG13, i ...
This domain is found in the autophagy-related proteins ATG17 and ATG11, conserved across eukaryotes [1,2]. ATG17 forms a complex with ATG29 and ATG31, critical for both PAS (preautophagosomal structure) formation and autophagy. Together with ATG13, it is required for ATG1 kinase activation [2,3]. ATG11 is a scaffold protein required for the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway during starvation and to recruit ATG proteins to the pre-autophagosome. It is also required for ATG1 kinase activation. In many eukaryotes, ATG11 (the orthologue in mammals is RB1-inducible coiled-coil protein 1 (RB1CC1) and in S. pombe is Taz1-interacting factor 1 (taf1)) is essential for bulk autophagy, except in S.cerevisiae [2]. ATG17 and ATG11 are large similar proteins, both predicted to be almost entirely helical, containing conserved coiled-coil regions and lack obvious functional motifs [2,3].
