What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Tethering factor involved in autophagy. Involved in autophagosome maturation by promoting the autophagosome fusion with lysosomes: acts by associating with both the ATG5-ATG12 conjugate and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) present at the surface of autophagosomes. Also involved in selective autophagy against bacterial pathogens, by being required for phagophore/preautophagosomal structure biogenesis and maturation

Subunit structure

Interacts with ATG5; the interaction is direct. Interacts with WIPI2. Interacts with the ATG5-ATG12 conjugate, the interaction is however mutually exclusive with ATG16, since it does not interact with ATG12-ATG5-ATG16 complex

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane, Lysosome membrane
