Protein Domain : Atg6/Beclin IPR007243

Type  Family
Description  In yeasts, vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 30 (Vps30), also known as autophagy-related protein 6 (Atg6), is a common component of two distinct phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complexes. In complex I, Atg14 links Vps30 to Vps34 lipid kinase and plays a specific role in autophagy, while in complex II, Vps38 links Vps30 to Vps34 and plays an important role in vacuolar protein sorting [ ]. The C-terminal of Vps30 contains a globular fold comprised of three β-sheet-α-helix repeats (also known as beta-alpha repeated, autophagy-specific (BARA) domain) and is required for autophagy through the targeting of complex I to the pre-autophagosomal structure. The N-terminal of Vps30 is required for vacuolar protein sorting []. Beclin, the mammalian homologue of yeast Atg6/Vps30, is a tumour suppressor that coordinately regulates the autophagy and membrane trafficking involved in several physiological and pathological processes [ , ].
