Accelerated cell death 11

UniProtKB accession:  O64587

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Exhibits selective intermembrane transfer of ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) and phytoceramide-1-phosphate (PubMed:24412362, PubMed:28011644). Does not transport ceramide (Cer) or GalCer, suggesting a requirement for phosphate in the headgroup for functionality (PubMed:24412362). Transports in vitro sphingosine, but not glycosphingolipids (PubMed:11850411). Has also some in vitro activity with sphingomyelin, a lipid not detected in plant tissues (PubMed:18657186). The transport function may be not directly involved in regulating cell death. Rather, perturbations in the function of ACD11 or related components could be monitored by R-proteins, which then mediate defense and programmed cell death (PCD), as proposed in the guard hypothesis (Probable). C1P transfer is stimulated by phosphatidylserine in C1P source vesicles (PubMed:28011644). Regulates autophagy, inflammasome mediated IL1B and IL18 processing, and pyroptosis, but not apoptosis (PubMed:28011644).
