General annotation (Comments)

Function

The PI(3,5)P2 regulatory complex regulates both the synthesis and turnover of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2). May negatively regulate FAB1 activity by sequestering or masking VAC7 from FAB1. Necessary for proper vacuole morphology. Required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicle formation, pexophagy and autophagy. Involved in correct ATG9 trafficking to the pre-autophagosomal structure. Might also be involved in premeiotic DNA replication. Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.8 Ref.10 Ref.11

Subunit structure

Component of the PI(3,5)P2 regulatory complex, composed of ATG18, FIG4, FAB1, VAC14 and VAC7. VAC14 nucleates the assembly of the complex and serves as a scaffold. Interacts with ATG9 and VAC17. Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11

Subcellular location

Preautophagosomal structure membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Vacuole membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note: Peripheral membrane protein of pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS) and vacuole. Requires VAC7 pour vacuole membrane localization. Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11

Domain

The 377 first amino acids might form a beta-propeller domain involved in specific binding to phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), leading to the association of the protein to the membrane.

Miscellaneous

Present with 1560 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the WD repeat SVP1 family.

Contains 2 WD repeats.
