ATG15

AUT5, CVT17, triglyceride lipase ATG15, L000004767, L000004751, YCR068W
Lipase required for intravacuolar lysis of autophagic and Cvt bodies; targeted to intravacuolar vesicles during autophagy via the multivesicular body (MVB) pathway
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

ATG18

AUT10, CVT18, NMR1, SVP1, phosphoinositide binding protein ATG18, YFR021W
Phosphoinositide binding protein; required for vesicle formation in autophagy and the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway; binds both phosphatidylinositol (3,5)-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate; WD-40 repeat protein; relocalizes from vacuole to cytoplasm upon DNA replication stress; has 4 mammalian homologs WIPI1, WIPI2, WIPI3 and WIPI4/WDR45; mutations in human WDR45 cause static encephalopathy of childhood with neurodegeneration in adulthood
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Phenotypic Suppression

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or over expression of one gene results in suppression of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

A defect of the vacuolar putative lipase Atg15 accelerates degradation of lipid droplets through lipolysis.

Maeda Y, Oku M, Sakai Y

Lipid droplets (LDs) are the conserved organelles for the deposit of neutral lipids, and function as reservoirs of membrane and energy sources. To date, functional links between autophagy and LD dynamics have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report that a vacuolar putative lipase, Atg15, required for degradation of autophagic bodies, is crucial for the maintenance of LD amount in ... [more]
