Protein Domain : Autophagy-related protein 22 IPR044738

Type  Family
Description  Atg22 (also known as Aut4) protein functions as a vacuolar effluxer which mediates the efflux of amino acids resulting from autophagic degradation. The release of autophagic amino acids allows the maintenance of protein synthesis and viability during nitrogen starvation [ , , ]. Members of this family belong to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins, which are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement [, ].
