Autophagy protein Atg8 ubiquitin like Light chain 3 is proposed to function primarily as a subunit of microtubule associated proteins 1A and 1B and that its expression may regulate microtubule binding activity. Autophagy is generally known as a process involved in the degradation of bulk cytoplasmic components that are non-specifically sequestered into an autophagosome, where they are sequestered into double-membrane vesicles and delivered to the degradative organelle, the lysosome/vacuole, for breakdown and eventual recycling of the resulting macromolecules. The yeast proteins are involved in the autophagosome, and Atg8 binds Atg19, via its N-terminus and the C-terminus of Atg19.
