CC   -!- FUNCTION: Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in autophagosomes formation.
CC       With cpr-1/atg4, mediates the delivery of the autophagosomes to the
CC       vacuole via the microtubule cytoskeleton. Required for selective
CC       autophagic degradation of the nucleus (nucleophagy) as well as for
CC       mitophagy which contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and
CC       quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill
CC       cellular energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production.
CC       Participates also in membrane fusion events that take place in the
CC       early secretory pathway. Also involved in endoplasmic reticulum-
CC       specific autophagic process and is essential for the survival of cells
CC       subjected to severe ER stress. The apg-6/atg8-PE conjugate mediates
CC       tethering between adjacent membranes and stimulates membrane
CC       hemifusion, leading to expansion of the autophagosomal membrane during
CC       autophagy. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38182}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38182}; Lipid-anchor
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38182}. Vacuole membrane
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38182}; Lipid-anchor
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38182}.
CC   -!- PTM: The C-terminal 5 residues are removed to expose Gly-116 at the C-
CC       terminus. The C-terminal Gly is then amidated with
CC       phosphatidylethanolamine by an activating system similar to that for
CC       ubiquitin. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P38182}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ATG8 family. {ECO:0000305}.
