Gene: ATG16L1
Evidence Summary from Illumina curation team: The ATG16L gene encodes a core autophagy protein which forms a complex with ATG5 and ATG12 that is important for autophagophore elongation (Lavoie et al. 2019). Autophagy plays a key antiviral role in various human infections by modulating different aspects of the immune response (Reviewed Tao et al. 2020; Ahmed et al. 2018). The ATG16L complex is also targeted by some viruses to enhance infection. The Zika virus protease, targets ATG16L, dramatically depleting its levels during Zika virus infection (Hill et al. 2018). Conversely, Hepatitis B virus (HBV), an enveloped pararetrovirus, stimulates autophagy to favor its production. In vitro, RNA interference-mediated silencing of Atg16L1 interfered with viral core/nucleocapsid (NC) formation and stability, strongly diminishing virus replication (Fletcher et al. 2018).Created: 28 May 2020, 3:12 p.m. | Last Modified: 28 May 2020, 3:12 p.m.
