General description

The autophagy-related protein 13 (Atg13) plays an important role in the formation of autophagosomes. Autophagosomes are formed in response to nutrient deprivation and function as the transport vesicles for organelles, proteins, and protein complexes targeted for lysosomes that digest these cargos to produce energy and nutrients. Atg13 is activated by the mTOR pathway and forms a complex with the FIP200 protein. This complex is involved in enhancing the activity of the ULK1 kinase which is required for the formation of autophagosomes. Atg13/FIP200 faciliates the localization of ULK1 to pre-autophagosomes, and subsequently stabilizes ULK1. Autophagy is an important process in development, growth, and cell differentiation, and disruption of this process may contribute to cancer, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases.

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human Atg13.

In macroautophagy, membrane structures called autophagosomes engulf substrates and deliver them for lysosomal degradation. Autophagosomes enwrap a variety of targets with diverse sizes, from portions of cytosol to larger organelles. However, the mechanism by which autophagosome size is controlled remains

The early secretory pathway and autophagy are two essential and evolutionarily conserved endomembrane processes that are finely interlinked. Although growing evidence suggests that intracellular trafficking is important for autophagosome biogenesis, the molecular regulatory network involved is still not fully defined.

Autophagosome formation requires sequential translocation of autophagy-specific proteins to membranes enriched in PI3P and connected to the ER. Preceding this, the earliest autophagy-specific structure forming de novo is a small punctum of the ULK1 complex. The provenance of this structure
