Gene Ontology Information

Protein Name	Atg8p
Description	Component of autophagosomes and Cvt vesicles; regulator of Atg1p, targets it to autophagosomes; binds the Atg1p-Atg13p complex, triggering its vacuolar degradation; unique ubiquitin-like protein whose conjugation target is lipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE); Atg8p-PE is anchored to membranes, is involved in phagophore expansion, and may mediate membrane fusion during autophagosome formation; deconjugation of Atg8p-PE is required for efficient autophagosome biogenesis
GO Terms: Biological Process	level 3: protein-containing complex localization level 4: autophagy level 4: cytoplasm to vacuole transport by the Cvt pathway level 5: protein targeting to vacuole involved in autophagy level 5: lipid droplet formation level 5: endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport level 5: protein transport level 5: autophagy of mitochondrion level 5: macroautophagy level 6: regulation of membrane invagination level 6: cellular response to nitrogen starvation level 6: protein localization to phagophore assembly site level 6: piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus level 6: late nucleophagy level 6: membrane fusion level 7: reticulophagy level 8: regulation of macroautophagy
GO Terms: Molecular Function	level 2: protein tag level 5: phosphatidylethanolamine binding
GO Terms: Cellular Component	level 3: extrinsic component of membrane level 3: cytosol level 3: phagophore assembly site level 3: membrane level 4: vacuole-isolation membrane contact site level 4: cytoplasmic vesicle level 4: vacuole level 5: autophagosome level 5: lipid droplet level 5: vacuolar membrane level 6: Cvt vesicle membrane level 6: autophagosome membrane level 7: fungal-type vacuole membrane
