Human Gene ATG5 (uc003prf.3)
  Description: Homo sapiens autophagy related 5 (ATG5), mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_004849): The protein encoded by this gene, in combination with autophagy protein 12, functions as an E1-like activating enzyme in a ubiquitin-like conjugating system. The encoded protein is involved in several cellular processes, including autophagic vesicle formation, mitochondrial quality control after oxidative damage, negative regulation of the innate antiviral immune response, lymphocyte development and proliferation, MHC II antigen presentation, adipocyte differentiation, and apoptosis. Several transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015].

  ID: ATG5_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Autophagy protein 5; AltName: Full=APG5-like; AltName: Full=Apoptosis-specific protein;
FUNCTION: Required for autophagy. Conjugates to ATG12 and associates with isolation membrane to form cup-shaped isolation membrane and autophagosome. The conjugate detaches from the membrane immediately before or after autophagosome formation is completed (By similarity).
FUNCTION: May play an important role in the apoptotic process, possibly within the modified cytoskeleton. Its expression is a relatively late event in the apoptotic process, occurring downstream of caspase activity.
SUBUNIT: The ATG5-ATG12 conjugate forms a complex with several units of ATG16. Interacts with TECPR1; the interaction is direct and does not take place when ATG16 is associated with the ATG5- ATG12 conjugate.
INTERACTION: O95166:GABARAP; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1047414, EBI-712001; Q9GZQ8:MAP1LC3B; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1047414, EBI-373144; Q7Z6L1:TECPR1; NbExp=6; IntAct=EBI-1047414, EBI-2946676; Q8IZQ1:WDFY3; NbExp=6; IntAct=EBI-1047414, EBI-1569256;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Note=Colocalizes with nonmuscle actin.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. The mRNA is present at similar levels in viable and apoptotic cells, whereas the protein is dramatically highly expressed in apoptotic cells.
INDUCTION: By apoptotic stimuli.
PTM: Conjugated to ATG12; which is essential for autophagy, but is not required for association with isolation membrane.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ATG5 family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
