High impact information on ATG19

Cvt19 is a peripheral membrane protein that binds to the precursor form of the Cvt cargo protein aminopeptidase I (prAPI) and travels to the vacuole with prAPI [1].
Autophagy (Apg) and pexophagy, processes that use the majority of the same protein components as the Cvt pathway, do not require Cvt19 [1].
Ape1p and Ams1p bind to their receptor, Atg19p, in the cytosol to form a Cvt complex, which then associates with a membrane structure that envelops the complex before fusing with the vacuolar membrane [2].
Precursor Ape1 along with its receptor Atg19 forms the Cvt complex, which is transported to the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS), the putative site of Cvt vesicle formation, in a process dependent on Atg11 [3].
Here, we show that the deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp3p interacts with Atg19p [2].

Associations of ATG19 with chemical compounds

Atg19p is ubiquitinated on two lysine residues, Lys(213) and Lys(216), which, when mutated, reduce the interaction of Atg19p with Ape1p [2].

Other interactions of ATG19

The deletion of APE1 or ATG19 compromised the organization of the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS), a site that is thought to play a critical role in Cvt vesicle/autophagosome formation [4].
In particular, those factors are essential to correctly target the prApe1-Cvt19-Cvt9 complex to the preautophagosomal structure, the site of Cvt vesicle formation [5].
Furthermore, the perivacuolar compartment designates the initial site of membrane binding by the Apg/Cvt vesicle component Aut7, the Cvt cargo receptor Cvt19, and the Apg conjugation machinery, which functions in the de novo formation of vesicles [6].
