What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Autophagy factor required for autophagosome formation and mitophagy. Target of the TOR kinase signaling pathway that regulates autophagy through the control of the phosphorylation status of ATG13 and ULK1, and the regulation of the ATG13-ULK1-RB1CC1 complex. Through its regulation of ULK1 activity, plays a role in the regulation of the kinase activity of mTORC1 and cell proliferation

Subunit structure

Part of a complex consisting of ATG13, ULK1 and RB1CC1 (PubMed:19211835, PubMed:19225151, PubMed:19597335, PubMed:24290141). Interacts with ATG101 (PubMed:19287211, PubMed:19597335, PubMed:26299944). Interacts with ULK1 (via C-terminus); this interaction is increased in the absence of TMEM39A (PubMed:18936157, PubMed:19287211, PubMed:21855797, PubMed:31806350). Interacts with ULK2 (via…
