molecular function |
| GO:0019776 | | Atg8 ligase activity | | Catalysis of the covalent attachment of the ubiquitin-like protein Atg8 to substrate molecules; phosphatidylethanolamine is a known substrate. |
| GO:0005515 | | protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules). |
biological process |
| GO:0006501 | | C-terminal protein lipidation | | The covalent attachment of a lipid group to the carboxy terminus of a protein. |
| GO:0000045 | | autophagosome assembly | | The formation of a double membrane-bounded structure, the autophagosome, that occurs when a specialized membrane sac, called the isolation membrane, starts to enclose a portion of the cytoplasm. |
| GO:0006914 | | autophagy | | The process in which cells digest parts of their own cytoplasm; allows for both recycling of macromolecular constituents under conditions of cellular stress and remodeling the intracellular structure for cell differentiation. |
| GO:0000422 | | autophagy of mitochondrion | | The autophagic process in which mitochondria are delivered to the vacuole and degraded in response to changing cellular conditions. |
| GO:0044804 | | autophagy of nucleus | | A selective form of autophagy, by which damaged or non-essential parts of the nucleus, or even an entire nucleus is degraded. |
| GO:0015031 | | protein transport | | The directed movement of proteins into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
| GO:0006810 | | transport | | The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) or cellular components (such as complexes and organelles) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some agent such as a transporter, pore or motor protein. |
cellular component |
| GO:0034274 | | Atg12-Atg5-Atg16 complex | | A protein complex required for the expansion of the autophagosomal membrane. In budding yeast, this complex consists of Atg12p, Atg5p and Atg16p. |
| GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| GO:0034045 | | pre-autophagosomal structure membrane | | A cellular membrane associated with the pre-autophagosomal structure. |
