Summary: Involved in several processes, including cytoplasm to vacuole transport by the Cvt pathway; late endosome to vacuole transport; and piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus. Located in cytoplasm and vacuole-isolation membrane contact site. Is extrinsic component of membrane. Part of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III, type I and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III, type II. Used to study breast cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Machado-Joseph disease. Orthologous to several human genes including BECN1 (beclin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

complex nature of protein quality control in the secretion pathway and reveal multiple sites that recognize and sort both soluble and aggregated forms of aberrant or misfolded proteins
Title: Characterization of an ERAD gene as VPS30/ATG6 reveals two alternative and functionally distinct protein quality control pathways: one for soluble Z variant of human alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor (A1PiZ) and another for aggregates of A1PiZ.

NP_015205.1

Subunit of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase complexes I and II; Complex I is essential in autophagy, Complex II is required for vacuolar protein sorting; required for overflow degradation of misfolded proteins when ERAD is saturated; C-terminus has novel globular fold essential for autophagy through the targeting of the PI3-kinase complex I to the pre-autophagosomal structure; ortholog of higher eukaryote gene Beclin 1; human BECN1 can complement yeast null mutant
