Function
[ATG7_YEAST] E1-like activating enzyme involved in the 2 ubiquitin-like systems required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and autophagy. Activates ATG12 for its conjugation with ATG5 and ATG8 for its conjugation with phosphatidylethanolamine. Both systems are needed for the ATG8 association to Cvt vesicles and autophagosomes membranes.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [ATG8_YEAST] Involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicles and autophagosomes formation. With ATG4, may mediate the delivery of the vesicles and autophagosomes to the vacuole via the microtubule cytoskeleton. Participates also in membrane fusion events that take place in the early secretory pathway.[10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Autophagy is the degradation of cellular organelles via the lysosomal pathway. The autophagic ubiquitin-like (Ubl) molecule Atg8 is activated by the E1-like enzyme Atg7. As this noncanonical E1 enzyme's domain organization is unique among Ubl-activating E1 enzymes, the structural basis for its interactions with Atg8 and partner E2 enzymes remains obscure. Here we present the structure of the N-terminal domain of Atg7, revealing a unique protein fold and interactions with both autophagic E2 enzymes Atg3 and Atg10. The structure of the C-terminal domain of Atg7 in complex with Atg8 shows the mode of dimerization and mechanism of recognition of Atg8. Notably, the catalytic cysteine residue in Atg7 is positioned close to the C-terminal glycine of Atg8, its target for thioester formation, potentially eliminating the need for large conformational rearrangements characteristic of other E1s.
