CC -!- FUNCTION: E2 conjugating enzyme required for the cytoplasm to vacuole
CC transport (Cvt) and autophagy. Required for selective autophagic
CC degradation of the nucleus (nucleophagy) as well as for mitophagy which
CC contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by
CC eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular
CC energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production. Responsible
CC for the E2-like covalent binding of phosphatidylethanolamine to the C-
CC terminal Gly of atg8. The atg12-atg5 conjugate plays a role of an E3
CC and promotes the transfer of atg8 from atg3 to phosphatidylethanolamine
CC (PE). This step is required for the membrane association of atg8. The
CC formation of the atg8-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate is essential
CC for autophagy and for the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt). The
CC atg8-PE conjugate mediates tethering between adjacent membranes and
CC stimulates membrane hemifusion, leading to expansion of the
CC autophagosomal membrane during autophagy (By similarity).
CC {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer. Interacts with atg8 through an intermediate thioester
CC bond through the C-terminal Gly of atg8. Also interacts with the 40
CC amino acid C-terminal region of the E1-like atg7 enzyme. Interacts also
CC with the atg12-atg5 conjugate. {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: The flexible region (FR) is required for atg7-binding.
CC {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: The handle region (HR) contains the atg8 interaction motif
CC (AIM) and mediates binding to atg8. It is crucial for the cytoplasm-to-
CC vacuole targeting pathway (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ATG3 family. {ECO:0000305}.
