PF12257: Vacuolar membrane-associated protein Iml1, vWA-like domain
IPR048255: integrated entry for Vacuolar membrane-associated protein Iml1, vWA-like domain

Source description

Proteins in this entry contain a DEP domain, which is a globular domain of about 80 residues. This entry includes vacuolar membrane-associated protein Iml1 and DEP domain-containing protein 5/DDB_G0279099. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Iml1 is a subunit of both the SEA (Seh1-associated) and Iml1 complexes (Iml1-Npr2-Npr3). SEA complex is associates dynamically with the vacuole and is involved in autophagy [InterPro reference PUB00063317,InterPro reference PUB00063319]. Iml1 complex is required for non-nitrogen-starvation (NNS)-induced autophagy [InterPro reference PUB00063318]. This is a vWA-like domain.

Status and evidence

Seed status
A name-based classification of frozen InterPro/Pfam metadata. UNKNOWN CANDIDATE means the metadata explicitly says the function is unknown. KNOWN HISTORICAL DUF means a DUF name matched without that wording; this heuristic is not proof of a known function and does not establish experimental characterization. EX DUF means Pfam renamed the family away from a DUF/UPF name, as recorded in Pfam's previous identifiers; a rename usually follows published work on some members but is naming history, not proof of function for every member. Some EX DUF families' current names or descriptions still say the function is unknown; their classification basis lists this, and scoring does not treat them as characterized. FALSE POSITIVE TEXT HIT means the naming rules did not match.
Characterization
A separate evidence-scoring result. UNSCORED means no score has been calculated; it is not evidence that the family lacks a known function. Missing scores are not negative evidence. PARTIALLY CHARACTERIZED has partial support; KNOWN HISTORICAL DUF can inherit the seed label or reflect a known-function signal. Neither label implies experimental validation.
Evidence counts
Source-specific signals, not unique proteins, publications, or confidence scores. Known counts Rhea reactions and experimentally supported GO molecular-function annotations. Partial counts functional/domain assignments. Context counts structural, environmental, orthology, interaction and neighborhood signals; context alone does not assign function. Repeated annotations may not be independent.
Curation status
Reported separately from seed classification and characterization. SNAPSHOT ONLY means no curated metadata was supplied for this build. SEEDED denotes a source-derived record, not an expert-reviewed functional claim.
Missing counts
Not available means the source did not supply that counter. A zero is a reported count. Not scored means evidence counts are unavailable.
