Gene Ontology Help

ATG1 protein kinase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Central regulator of autophagy initiation. Essential for recruitment of Atg proteins to the pre-autophagosomal structure, the putative site for autophagosome formation, under starvation condition, resulting in the sequestration of cytoplasmic proteins and organelles for bulk degradation.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

ion binding, kinase activity, transferase activity, cellular component assembly, organelle assembly, regulation of transport, response to starvation, response to stress, vacuole organization
