Members of this entry are serine/threonine-protein kinases and includes ATG1 from yeasts, Unc-51 from C. elegans and ULK1-2 from humans. ATG1 is required for vesicle formation in autophagy and the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway [1,2]. Unc-51 is important for axonal elongation and axonal guidance [4] and ULK1-2 are involved in autophagy in response to starvation [3]. They consist of a kinase domain at the N-terminal (Pfam:PF00069) and two tandem microtubule interacting and transport (MIT) domains (tMIT) at the C-terminal. MIT domains are known to mediate protein-protein interactions. In ATG1, MIT domains mediate the interaction with ATG13 [1]. In ULK1-2, MIT domains control the regulatory function and localization of the proteins and also mediate interactions with additional autophagy proteins [3]. This is the C-terminal MIT domain (MIT2).

They consist of a kinase domain at the N-terminal (Pfam:PF00069) and two tandem microtubule interacting and transport (MIT) domains (tMIT) at the C-terminal which, in ATG1, mediates the interaction with ATG13 [1].

In yeast, 15 Apg proteins coordinate the formation of autophagosomes. Autophagy is a bulk degradation process induced by starvation in eukaryotic cells [1]. Apg6/Vps30p has two distinct functions in the autophagic process, either associated with the membrane or in a retrieval step of the carboxypeptidase Y sorting pathway [2]. This entry is the Beta-Alpha repeated, autophagy-specific (BARA) domain [3].
