ATG7

APG11, APG7, CVT2, L000004701, S000029035, L000004786, YHR171W
Autophagy-related protein and dual specificity member of the E1 family; mediates the attachment of Atg12p to Atg5p and Atg8p to phosphatidylethanolamine which are required steps in autophagosome formation; E1 enzymes are also known as ubiquitin-activating enzymes; involved in methionine restriction extension of chronological lifespan in an autophagy-dependent manner

ATG3

APG3, AUT1, L000004056, L000004783, YNR007C
E2-like enzyme; involved in autophagy and the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway; plays a role in formation of Atg8p-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugates, which are involved in membrane dynamics during autophagy and Cvt; interaction with Atg8p is regulated by its acetylation by Esa1p (catalytic subunit of NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex) while attenuation of Atg3 acetylation is mediated by histone deacetylase Rpd3p

Autophagy is a bulk degradation process in eukaryotic cells; autophagosomes enclose cytoplasmic components for degradation in the lysosome/vacuole. Autophagosome formation requires two ubiquitin-like conjugation systems, the Atg12 and Atg8 systems, which are tightly associated with expansion of autophagosomal membrane. Previous studies have suggested that there is a hierarchy between these systems; the Atg12 system is located upstream of the Atg8 ... [more]

Additional Notes

  • In vitro experiments show that Atg8 can be activated by Atg7 and transferred to Atg3, then Atg3 conjugates Atg8 with a phospholipid, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). However, efficient formation of Atg8-PE required high PE content within liposomes (optimal PE content 70%), which is higher than the PE content in yeast organelle membranes (15-30%).

Affinity Capture-Western
Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.

Co-crystal Structure

Interaction directly demonstrated at the atomic level by X-ray crystallography. Also used for NMR or Electron Microscopy (EM) structures. If there is no obvious bait-hit directionality to the interaction involving 3 or more proteins, then the co-crystallized proteins should be listed as a complex.
