text	localized to preautophagosomal structure

basic FUNCTION	playing an essential role in autophagy
	involved in the membrane targeting of APG5L
	have a potential role within the intestinal epithelium by selective effects on the cell biology and specialized regulatory properties of Paneth cells
	regulates not only autophagy in all cell types, but also secretion from dense-core vesicles, presumably by acting as a Rab33A effector, in particular cell types

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

cellular trafficking transport

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	part of either the minor and major complexes respectively composed of 4 sets of APG12L-APG5L and APG16L (400 kDa) or 8 sets of APG12L-APG5L and APG16L (800 kDa)
	ATG16L1 and NOD2 are components of an autophagy-mediated antibacterial pathway that is altered in a cell- and function-specific manner by Crohn disease-associated mutations
	is a key component of an E3-like ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L1 protein complex that catalyzes conjugation of the MAP1LC3 protein to lipids, thus controlling autophagic vesicle formation and expansion

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with APG5L
	direct interaction between ATG5 and ATG16L1 is crucial to the performance of their roles in autophagy
	functional link between NOD2 and ATG16L1, which are encoded by two of the most important genes associated with Crohn disease
	interacts with the small GTPase RAB33A
	interaction between RB1CC1 and ATG16L1, essential components of the ULK1 and ATG5 complexes, respectively
	NOD1 CARD binds ubiquitin (Ub), in addition to directly binding its downstream targets receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) and autophagy-related protein 16-1 (ATG16L1)
	endogenous TMEM59 interacts with ATG16L1 and mediates autophagy in response to Staphylococcus aureus infection
	during process of induced autophagy, the ATG12-ATG5 conjugate requires 2 different binding partners, ATG16L1 for autophagosome elongation and TECPR1 for lysosomal fusion
	TECPR1 and ATG16L1 share the same binding site on ATG5 (swapping of interaction partners with ATG5 for autophagosome maturation)
	C3 interacts with ATG16L1, which is essential for autophagy
	interface between WIPI2 and ATG16L1 mediates autophagosome formation under starvation conditions
