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

APG5L commonly known as ATG5 or ATG5 protein plays a significant role in autophagy. This molecular component has a molecular weight of approximately 32 kDa. ATG5 is expressed in multiple tissue types with a higher expression profile in immune-related cells. The protein is essential for the formation of the autophagosome as it conjugates with ATG12 to form a complex that is critical for autophagosome membrane elongation.

Biological function summary

ATG5 plays an important part in the cellular process of autophagy affecting the degradation and recycling of cellular components. It is a part of a complex with ATG12 and ATG16L1 which facilitates the membrane building of the autophagosome. This protein is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis allowing the removal of damaged proteins and organelles and is involved in responses to stress and starvation.

Pathways

ATG5 is an important component in the autophagy pathway and is involved in cellular maintenance processes. This pathway is vital for the regulation of cell growth and metabolism. ATG5 works closely with other autophagy-related proteins such as LC3. The ATG5-ATG12 complex helps in the lipidation of LC3 which is critical for autophagosome maturation connecting its function to the mTOR signaling pathway that regulates many cellular processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

Disruption in ATG5 function is linked to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. For instance dysregulation of autophagy due to ATG5 dysfunction may result in the progression of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Additionally in certain cancers altered autophagy can influence the survival of cancer cells. The interplay between ATG5 and other proteins like p53 and Bcl-2 is under investigation to understand its role in these diseases.
