Gene Description

SH3GLB1 encodes endophilin B1/Bif-1, an N-BAR/SH3 membrane-curvature adaptor that links UVRAG/BECN1/PI3KC3-C2 autophagy signaling to ATG9-positive Golgi membrane fission and autophagosome assembly. Its core functions include PI3KC3 activation, adaptor-mediated association with UVRAG/Beclin 1, and membrane fission/tubulation at Golgi/autophagosome membranes. SH3GLB1 also has supported non-core roles in mitochondrial outer membrane dynamics, Bax/Bak-dependent apoptosis, receptor degradation, cytokinesis, and older lipid-binding/acyltransferase biochemistry.

GO:0006897 endocytosis
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MODIFY
Summary: Endocytosis is directionally related but too broad for SH3GLB1.
Reason: SH3GLB1/endophilin B1 contributes to membrane curvature, ATG9/Golgi fission, receptor degradation, and endocytic trafficking contexts; the broad endocytosis parent should be narrowed where possible.

MODIFY
Summary: Membrane organization is supported but should be represented by the more specific fission/tubulation terms.
Reason: Bif-1/endophilin B1 is an N-BAR membrane-curvature protein; the specific supported processes are membrane fission and positive regulation of membrane tubulation during ATG9/Golgi trafficking.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should SH3GLB1 be directly curated to GO:0034272 class III PI3K complex type II, or only to PI3KC3 activator/adaptor activity with PI3KC3-C2 context?

Suggested experts: GO autophagy editors, ComplexPortal curators, Reactome autophagy curators

Q: Is membrane fission or positive regulation of membrane tubulation the best GO process for Bif-1-mediated Atg9-positive Golgi membrane remodeling during autophagosome assembly?

Suggested experts: GO autophagy editors, membrane trafficking experts

Q: Should autophagic cell death annotations for Bif-1 be replaced by positive regulation of autophagy plus separate Bax/Bak mitochondrial apoptosis annotations?

Suggested experts: GO apoptosis editors, GO autophagy editors

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Rescue SH3GLB1 knockout cells with N-BAR, SH3, and dimerization mutants and measure PI3KC3 activity, Atg9 redistribution, Golgi membrane fission, and LC3/WIPI autophagosome assembly.

Hypothesis: Bif-1 requires both N-BAR membrane remodeling and SH3-dependent UVRAG/PI3KC3-C2 engagement to support Atg9 trafficking and autophagosome assembly.

Type: Bif-1 autophagy membrane-fission rescue assay

Experiment: Compare wild type and Bax-binding/mitochondrial-targeting SH3GLB1 mutants for mitochondrial morphology, Bax/Bak activation, and autophagic flux in the same background.

Hypothesis: SH3GLB1 mitochondrial apoptosis and PI3KC3-C2 autophagy roles are genetically separable.

Type: separation-of-function apoptosis versus autophagy assay
