Biol. Chem. 288:36073-36082(2013). CC -!- FUNCTION: Ubiquitin-like protein involved in autophagy vesicles CC formation. Conjugation with ATG5 through a ubiquitin-like conjugating CC system involving also ATG7 as an E1-like activating enzyme and ATG10 as CC an E2-like conjugating enzyme, is essential for its function. The CC ATG12-ATG5 conjugate acts as an E3-like enzyme which is required for CC lipidation of ATG8 family proteins and their association to the vesicle CC membranes. The ATG12-ATG5 conjugate also negatively regulates the CC innate antiviral immune response by blocking the type I IFN production CC pathway through direct association with RARRES3 and MAVS. Also plays a CC role in translation or delivery of incoming viral RNA to the CC translation apparatus (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Forms a conjugate with ATG5. Part of the minor complex CC composed of 4 sets of ATG12-ATG5 and ATG16L1 (400 kDa); this complex CC interacts with ATG3 leading to disruption of ATG7 interaction and CC promotion of ATG8-like proteins lipidation (By similarity). Forms an CC 800-kDa complex composed of ATG12-ATG5 and ATG16L2 (By similarity). CC Interacts with DHX58/RIG-1, IFIH1/MDA5 and MAVS/IPS-1 in monomeric form CC as well as in ATG12-ATG5 conjugate. The interaction with MAVS is CC further enhanced upon vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection. CC Interacts with ATG3; this interaction is essential for CC phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated ATG8-like proteins formation CC (By similarity). Interacts with ATG7 (By similarity). Interacts with CC ATG10 (By similarity). Interacts with TECPR1. Interacts with SH3BGRL CC (By similarity). The ATG12-ATG5 conjugate interacts with PDCD6IP (via CC the BRO1 domain); this interaction is bridged by ATG12 and promotes CC multiple PDCD6IP-mediated functions such as endolysosomal trafficking, CC macroautophagy and exosome biogenesis (By similarity). CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O94817, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9CQY1}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Preautophagosomal CC structure membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein CC {ECO:0000250}. Note=TECPR1 recruits the ATG12-ATG5 conjugate to the CC autolysosomal membrane. {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- INDUCTION: Activated in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following optic CC nerve transection (PubMed:18521932). Induced under starvation CC conditions, through the action of the Foxo1 and Foxo3 transcription CC factors (PubMed:19696026, PubMed:24187137). CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18521932, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19696026, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:24187137}. CC -!- DOMAIN: Shares weak sequence similarity with ubiquitin family, but CC contains an 'ubiquitin superfold' and the C-terminal Gly is required CC for isopeptide linkage. {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- PTM: Acetylated by EP300. {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ATG12 family. {ECO:0000305}.
