Protein name is changed from APG7 to ATG7 after Doelling paper is published.
Autophagy-related protein 7 (ATG7) is an E1-like activating enzyme involved in two ubiquitin-like systems required for cytoplasmic vacuolar transport (Cvt) and autophagy. Activate the binding of ATG12 and ATG5, and activate the binding of ATG8 and phosphatidylethanolamine. In the process of leaf yellowing induced by stress, it is involved in aging process, degradation of damaged peroxisome and non-selective degradation of chlorophyll and photosynthetic proteins. Aliases: ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme atg7, atg12 activating enzyme E1 atg7, AtAPG7, abnormal localization of protein peroxisome 4.
