Gene Ontology Information

Protein Name	Atg21p
Description	Phosphoinositide binding protein; required for vesicle formation in the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (CVT) pathway, autophagy, micronucleophagy and mitophagy; binds to several phosphoinositides including: PtdIns(3,5)P2, PI3P and PI4P; involved in PI3P-dependent recruitment and organization of both the Atg12-Atg5-Atg16 complex and Atg8p at the pre-autophagosomal structure; necessary for oxidant-induced cell death; WD-40 repeat containing PROPPIN family member
GO Terms: Biological Process	level 4: autophagy level 4: cytoplasm to vacuole transport by the Cvt pathway level 5: autophagy of nucleus level 5: protein transport level 5: macroautophagy level 5: autophagy of mitochondrion level 6: piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus level 6: protein lipidation level 6: vesicle organization level 6: protein localization to phagophore assembly site
GO Terms: Molecular Function	level 5: phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate binding level 7: phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding level 7: phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding
