Involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), pexophagy, mitophagy and nucleophagy. Recruits mitochondria for their selective degradation via autophagy (mitophagy) during starvation. Works as scaffold proteins that recruit ATG proteins to the pre-autophagosome (PAS), the site of vesicle/autophagosome formation. Required for the Cvt vesicles completion (By similarity). Contributes through its regulation of pexophagy to survival during engulfment by host phagocytic cells during infection. Through its function in autophagy, acts as an important virulence factor that supports the viability of C.glabrata in the phagosomal compartment of infected innate immune cells. Homodimer. During pexophagy, accumulates in the vacuolar membrane region, where the peroxisomes contact the vacuole. Belongs to the ATG11 family.
