The C9orf72-SMCR8 complex promotes the exchange of GDP to GTP, converting inactive GDP-bound RAB8A and RAB39B into their active GTP-bound form, thereby promoting autophagosome maturation (PubMed:27103069). The C9orf72- SMCR8 complex also acts as a negative regulator of autophagy initiation by interacting with the ATG1/ULK1 kinase complex and inhibiting its protein kinase activity (PubMed:27103069, PubMed:27617292). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27103069, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27193190, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27617292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28195531}. |WD40| |Atg1/ULK1 kinase complex| |guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor complex| |Rab guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity| |process utilizing autophagic mechanism| |autophagy| |lysosomal membrane| |regulation of autophagy| |regulation of cellular catabolic process| |regulation of catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
