Structured_description Provisional_descriptionlgg-3 encodes a hydrophilic protein that is orthologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae autophagy protein Apg12p; by homology, LGG-3 is predicted to function as a modifier protein required for a protein conjugation system essential for autophagy; in the context of this conjugation system, LGG-3 is predicted to interact with Apg7p and Apg5p homologs (encoded by M7.5 and Y71G12B.12a, respectively) to effect bulk degradation of cytoplasmic components under conditions of starvation or cellular remodeling; free LGG-3 is predicted to localize to the cytoplasm, while LGG-3 conjugated to the Apg5p homolog is predicted to associate with membrane compartments; loss of lgg-3 activity via large-scale RNAi screens results in no obvious developmental or behavioral abnormalities.
