Enables

This protein enables 4 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
cysteine-type peptidase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain by a mechanism in which the sulfhydryl group of a cysteine residue at the active center acts as a nucleophile. [GOC:mah, https://www.ebi.ac.uk/merops/about/glossary.shtml#CATTYPE]
protein-phosphatidylethanolamide deconjugating activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: [protein]-C-terminal L-amino acid-glycyl-phosphatidylethanolamide + H2O = [protein]-C-terminal L-amino acid-glycine + a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine. An example of this reaction is the removal of ATG8 from membranes to which it is covalently linked to a phosphatidylethanolamid via its terminal glycine residue. [PMID:22240591, PMID:22652539, PMID:28330855, PMID:2882172, PMID:28901328]
cysteine-type endopeptidase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the hydrolysis of internal, alpha-peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain by a mechanism in which the sulfhydryl group of a cysteine residue at the active center acts as a nucleophile. [GOC:mah, https://www.ebi.ac.uk/merops/about/glossary.shtml#CATTYPE, https://www.ebi.ac.uk/merops/about/glossary.shtml#ENDOPEPTIDASE]

Active In

This protein is active in 1 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
cytoplasmcellular componentThe contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. [ISBN:0198547684]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 11 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
autophagosome assemblybiological processThe formation of a double membrane-bounded structure, the autophagosome, that occurs when a specialized membrane sac, called the isolation membrane, starts to enclose a portion of the cytoplasm. [GOC:autophagy, PMID:9412464]
proteolysisbiological processThe hydrolysis of proteins into smaller polypeptides and/or amino acids by cleavage of their peptide bonds. [GOC:bf, GOC:mah]
lipid metabolic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. Includes fatty acids; neutral fats, other fatty-acid esters, and soaps; long-chain (fatty) alcohols and waxes; sphingoids and other long-chain bases; glycolipids, phospholipids and sphingolipids; and carotenes, polyprenols, sterols, terpenes and other isoprenoids. [GOC:ma]
autophagybiological processThe cellular catabolic process in which cells digest cellular materials, such as organelles and other macromolecular constituents, or non-self materials such as intracellular pathogens. Autophagy serves to provide essential nutrients under conditions of cellular stress; or can remodel intracellular structures during cell differentiation. [GOC:autophagy, ISBN:0198547684, PMID:11099404, PMID:29455577, PMID:9412464]
protein transportbiological processThe directed movement of proteins into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai]
protein delipidationbiological processThe breakage of covalent bonds to detach lipid groups from a protein. [GOC:ai]
piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleusbiological processDegradation of a cell nucleus by microautophagy. [GOC:autophagy, GOC:jp, PMID:18701704]
aggrephagybiological processThe selective degradation of protein aggregates by macroautophagy. [GOC:autophagy, GOC:kmv, PMID:18508269, PMID:25062811]
protein processingbiological processAny protein maturation process achieved by the cleavage of a peptide bond or bonds within a protein. Protein maturation is the process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. [GOC:curators, GOC:jl, GOC:jsg]
C-terminal protein lipidationbiological processThe covalent attachment of a lipid group to the carboxy-terminus of a protein. [GOC:jl]
mitophagybiological processThe selective autophagy process in which a mitochondrion is degraded by macroautophagy. [PMID:15798367]
