Autophagy-related protein 13

UniProtKB accession:  Q06628

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Activates the ATG1 kinase in a nutritional condition dependent manner through the TOR pathway, leading to autophagy (PubMed:10995454, PubMed:11086004, PubMed:15743910, PubMed:17295840, PubMed:18077553, PubMed:18287526, PubMed:19805182, PubMed:19995911, PubMed:20647741, PubMed:20855505, PubMed:22447937, PubMed:22778255, PubMed:22782902, PubMed:22885598, PubMed:8224160, PubMed:21468027). Required for autophosphorylation of ATG1 at 'Thr-226' and its dimerization (PubMed:20439775, PubMed:17699586, PubMed:21712380). May also be involved in the regulation of autophagy through SNF1 (PubMed:11486014). Involved in ATG9 and ATG23 cycling through the pre-autophagosomal structure (PubMed:14723849, PubMed:17426440). Also involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and more specifically in Cvt vesicle formation (PubMed:10837477). Seems to play a role in the switching machinery regulating the conversion between the Cvt pathway and autophagy (PubMed:10837477, PubMed:31512555). Finally, ATG13 is also required for glycogen storage during stationary phase (PubMed:11486014).
