Light chain 3 is proposed to function primarily as a subunit of microtubule associated proteins 1A and 1B and that its expression may regulate microtubule binding activity [1]. Autophagy is generally known as a process involved in the degradation of bulk cytoplasmic components that are non-specifically sequestered into an autophagosome, where they are sequestered into double-membrane vesicles and delivered to the degradative organelle, the lysosome/vacuole, for breakdown and eventual recycling of the resulting macromolecules. The yeast proteins are involved in the autophagosome, and Atg8 binds Atg19, via its N-terminus and the C-terminus of Atg19.
This MIT domain is the microtubule interaction and trafficking of nuclear receptor-binding factor 2 - NRBF2 - in higher eukaryotes. It is a coiled-coil region at the N-terminus of Pfam:PF08961 [1]. NRBF2 plays an essential role in autophagy, the cell ...
This MIT domain is the microtubule interaction and trafficking of nuclear receptor-binding factor 2 - NRBF2 - in higher eukaryotes. It is a coiled-coil region at the N-terminus of Pfam:PF08961 [1]. NRBF2 plays an essential role in autophagy, the cellular pathway that degrades long-lived proteins and other cytoplasmic contents through lysosomes. NRBF2 binds Atg14L - a Beclin-binding protein - directly via the MIT domain and enhances Atg14L-linked Vps34 kinase (a class III phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase) activity and autophagy induction [2].

In yeast, 15 Apg proteins coordinate the formation of autophagosomes. Autophagy is a bulk degradation process induced by starvation in eukaryotic cells [1]. Apg6/Vps30p has two distinct functions in the autophagic process, either associated with the membrane or in a retrieval step of the carboxypeptidase Y sorting pathway [2]. This entry is the Beta-Alpha repeated, autophagy-specific (BARA) domain [3].
