Background: ATG5

ATG5 (Autophagy-related Protein), also known as APG5L and Apoptosis-specific Protein, is a ubiquitous 32 kDa member of the ATG family of proteins. ATG5 exists as a covalent heterodimer with ATG12 through the creation of a Lys-Gly linkage. The ATG5:ATG12 heterodimer associates noncovalently with an ATG16 multimer to generate autophagosomes. Human ATG5 is 275 amino acids in length and contains N- and C-terminal ubiquitin-like domains (aa 15‑105 and 187‑275) separated by a helix-rich linker region that contains a dimerizing Lys at position 130. There are two potential alternate start sites at Met80 and Met173. Over aa 99‑193, human ATG5 is 97% aa identical to mouse ATG5.
