UniProt Comments
Required for normal plant development (PubMed:17339883, PubMed:17932459, PubMed:18227644). Required for pollen germination (PubMed:17339883, PubMed:17259285, PubMed:18227644). Required for autophagic activity. Required to limit the pathogen-associated cell death response (PubMed:17932459). May be involved in vacuolar protein sorting (PubMed:17259285). Binds to microtubules. May facilitate efficient recruitment of other ATG proteins to assemble scaffolds for autophagosome biogenesis (PubMed:26566764).
