Function

Involved in autophagic vesicle formation. Conjugation with ATG12, through a ubiquitin-like conjugating system involving ATG7 as an E1-like activating enzyme and ATG10 as an E2-like conjugating enzyme, is essential for its function. The ATG12-ATG5 conjugate acts as an E3-like enzyme which is required for lipidation of ATG8 family proteins and their association to the vesicle membranes. Involved in mitochondrial quality control after oxidative damage, and in subsequent cellular longevity. Plays a critical role in multiple aspects of lymphocyte development and is essential for both B and T lymphocyte survival and proliferation. Required for optimal processing and presentation of antigens for MHC II. Involved in the maintenance of axon morphology and membrane structures, as well as in normal adipocyte differentiation. Promotes primary ciliogenesis through removal of OFD1 from centriolar satellites and degradation of IFT20 via the autophagic pathway. As part of the ATG8 conjugation system with ATG12 and ATG16L1, required for recruitment of LRRK2 to stressed lysosomes and induction of LRRK2 kinase activity in response to lysosomal stress (By similarity). 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. Plays a crucial role in IFN-gamma-induced autophagic cell death by interacting with FADD. (Microbial infection) May act as a proviral factor. In association with ATG12, negatively regulates the innate antiviral immune response by impairing the type I IFN production pathway upon vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection (PubMed:17709747). Required for the translation of incoming hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and, thereby, for initiation of HCV replication, but not required once infection is established (PubMed:19666601).

Activity summary

Beclin 1 also known as ATG6 or VPS30 is a central player in the autophagy process. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 60 kDa and is widely expressed in a variety of tissues. Beclin 1 forms a core component of the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) complex and helps to initiate the formation of pre-autophagosomal structures. Associated proteins like APG5L/ATG5 ATG16L1 ATG9A LC3B and ATG4B also play important roles in the regulation of autophagy. Particularly LC3B serves as an important autophagy marker often used to monitor autophagosomes through autophagy antibodies in experimental settings.

Biological function summary

These proteins coordinate to regulate and execute autophagy a process that cleans up damaged cellular components and helps maintain cellular homeostasis. They assemble into a complex network that orchestrates the formation and maturation of autophagosomes effectively marking them for lysosomal degradation. Beclin 1 interacts with multiple proteins like Atg14 and UVRAG to form different PI3K complexes leading to nucleation of the autophagic membrane. ATG5 ATG12 and ATG16L1 work in a conjugation system that expands the autophagosome membrane while the proteolytic processing of LC3B is essential for autophagosome closure.

Pathways

The autophagy process plays a significant role in cellular pathways like nutrient sensing and stress response. The AMPK/mTOR pathway for example tightly regulates autophagy in response to cellular energy status. AMPK activates autophagy by inhibiting mTOR signaling allowing initiation of autophagosome formation. Proteins such as ATG9A are integral for the trafficking of autophagy-related vesicles affecting the recruitment and movement of membrane source for developing autophagosomes. The balance between PI3K-AKT signaling and mTOR is important for the coordination between cell growth and the autophagic activity mediated by these proteins.

Associated diseases and disorders

Dysregulated autophagy pathways involving Beclin 1 and associated components like LC3B and ATG5 are linked to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Alterations in autophagy can disrupt cellular homeostasis facilitating the development of malignancies through the evasion of cell death. In neurodegenerative contexts impaired autophagy leads to the accumulation of toxic proteins exacerbating disease progression. The interplay between Beclin 1 and proteins like Bcl-2 also links it to apoptosis suggesting that a delicate balance between autophagy and apoptosis is important in preventing these disorders.
