Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 13)
- human hAtg2A can not function in autophagy in yeast, however, it is recruited to the preautophagosomal structure (PMID:21887408)
- Depletion of both Atg2A and Atg2B causes clustering of enlarged lipid droplets in an autophagy-independent manner. These data suggest that mammalian Atg2 proteins function both in autophagosome formation and regulation of lipid droplet morphology and dispersion. (PMID:22219374)
- These data provide evidence for additional roles of Atg2A and Atg14L in the formation of early autophagosomal membranes and also in lipid metabolism. (PMID:24776541)
- Among polymorphisms identified in the present study, rs76974938 [C/T (D67N)] of C21orf59 and rs188780113 [G/A (R478C)] of ATG2A may be novel determinants of estimated glomerular filtration rate and chronic kidney disease or of the serum concentration of uric acid, respectively. (PMID:28410202)
- Authors demonstrate that inhibition of autophagosome completion by Atg2A/B deletion accumulates immature autophagosomal membranes that promote non-canonical caspase-8 activation in response to nutrient starvation via an intracellular death-inducing signaling complex (iDISC). (PMID:28800131)
- The N-terminal amino acids 1-198 and the C-terminal amino acids 1830-1938 are required for the localization to isolation membranes and lipid droplets, respectively. We also identified an amphipathic helix in ATG2A that is required for both its localization to organelles and autophagosome formation. (PMID:29113029)
- N-terminal fragment of ATG2A that supports lipid transfer in vitro is both necessary and fully sufficient to rescue blocked autophagosome biogenesis in ATG2A/ATG2B KO cells (PMID:30952800)
- Here, the authors demonstrate that human ATG2A is a lipid transfer protein. ATG2A can extract lipids from membrane vesicles and unload them to other vesicles. Lipid transfer by ATG2A is more efficient between tethered vesicles than between untethered vesicles. (PMID:31271352)
- A conserved ATG2-GABARAP family interaction is critical for phagophore formation. (PMID:32009292)
- HIF-1alpha-induced expression of m6A reader YTHDF1 drives hypoxia-induced autophagy and malignancy of hepatocellular carcinoma by promoting ATG2A and ATG14 translation. (PMID:33619246)
- A model for a partnership of lipid transfer proteins and scramblases in membrane expansion and organelle biogenesis. (PMID:33850023)
- Quantitative analysis of autophagy reveals the role of ATG9 and ATG2 in autophagosome formation. (PMID:37115157)

Function. Lipid transfer protein involved in autophagosome assembly. Tethers the edge of the isolation membrane (IM) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mediates direct lipid transfer from ER to IM for IM expansion. Binds to the ER exit site (ERES), which is the membrane source for autophagosome formation, and extracts phospholipids from the membrane source and transfers them to ATG9 (ATG9A or ATG9B) to the IM for membrane expansion. Lipid transfer activity is enhanced by WIPI1 and WDR45/WIPI4, which promote ATG2A-association with phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate (PI3P)-containing membranes. Also regulates lipid droplets morphology and distribution within the cell.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ATG9A (via C-terminus). Interacts (via WIPI-interacting region) with WDR45B/WIPI3. Interacts (via WIPI-interacting region) with WDR45/WIPI4. Interacts with TMEM41B. Interacts with VMP1.
Subcellular location. Preautophagosomal structure membrane. Lipid droplet. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Domain organisation. The chorein N-terminal domain mediates lipid transfer activity.
Similarity. Belongs to the ATG2 family.

A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
