*Department of Biochemistry, Juntendo University School of
Medicine, Tokyo 113-8421, Japan; In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the
Apg12p-Apg5p conjugating system is essential for autophagy.
Apg7p is required for the conjugation reaction, because Apg12p is
unable to form a conjugate with Apg5p in the apg7/cvt2
mutant. Apg7p shows a significant similarity to a ubiquitin-activating
enzyme, Uba1p. In this article, we investigated the function of Apg7p
as an Apg12p-activating enzyme. Hemagglutinin-tagged Apg12p was
coimmunoprecipitated with c-myc-tagged Apg7p. A two-hybrid experiment
confirmed the interaction. The coimmunoprecipitation was sensitive to a
thiol-reducing reagent. Furthermore, a thioester conjugate of Apg7p was
detected in a lysate of cells overexpressing both Apg7p and Apg12p.
These results indicated that Apg12p interacts with Apg7p via a
thioester bond. Mutational analyses of Apg7p suggested that
Cys507 of Apg7p is an active site cysteine and that both
the ATP-binding domain and the cysteine residue are essential for the
conjugation of Apg7p with Apg12p to form the Apg12p-Apg5p conjugate.
Cells expressing mutant Apg7ps, Apg7pG333A, or
Apg7pC507A showed defects in autophagy and
cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting of aminopeptidase I. These results indicated that Apg7p functions as a novel
protein-activating enzyme necessary for Apg12p-Apg5p conjugation.
