| 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:0042802 | | identical protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein or proteins. |
| | 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). |
| | GO:0030674 | | protein binding, bridging | | The binding activity of a molecule that brings together two or more protein molecules, or a protein and another macromolecule or complex, through a selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric interaction, permitting those molecules to function in a coordinated way. |
| 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:0044805 | | late nucleophagy | | A type of nucleophagy, distinct from piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus (PNM) where the nuclear material is delivered to the vacuole/lysosome for breakdown and recycling later than observed for PNM. |
| | GO:0016236 | | macroautophagy | | The major inducible pathway for the general turnover of cytoplasmic constituents in eukaryotic cells, it is also responsible for the degradation of active cytoplasmic enzymes and organelles during nutrient starvation. Macroautophagy involves the formation of double-membrane-bounded autophagosomes which enclose the cytoplasmic constituent targeted for degradation in a membrane-bounded structure. Autophagosomes then fuse with a lysosome (or vacuole) releasing single-membrane-bounded autophagic bodies that are then degraded within the lysosome (or vacuole). Though once thought to be a purely non-selective process, it appears that some types of macroautophagy, e.g. macropexophagy, macromitophagy, may involve selective targeting of the targets to be degraded. |
| | GO:0034727 | | piecemeal microautophagy of nucleus | | Degradation of a cell nucleus by lysosomal microautophagy. |
| | GO:0032258 | | protein localization by the CVT pathway | | A cytoplasm to vacuole targeting pathway that uses machinery common with autophagy. The CVT vesicle is formed when the receptor protein, Atg19, binds to the complexes of the target protein (aminopeptidase or alpha-mannosidase homododecamers), forming the Cvt complex. Atg11 binds to Atg9 and transports the CVT complex to the pre-autophagosome (PAS). The phagophore membrane expands around the CVT complex (excluding bulk cytoplasm) forming the CVT vesicle. This pathway is mostly observed in yeast. |
| | 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:0000421 | | autophagosome membrane | | The lipid bilayer surrounding an autophagosome, a double-membrane-bounded vesicle in which endogenous cellular material is sequestered. |
| | GO:0016020 | | membrane | | A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it. |
| | GO:0000407 | | pre-autophagosomal structure | | Punctate structures proximal to the endoplasmic reticulum which are the sites where the Atg machinery assembles upon autophagy induction. |
| | GO:0034045 | | pre-autophagosomal structure membrane | | A cellular membrane associated with the pre-autophagosomal structure. |
