A lipid transfer-dependent feedback loop activates ATG9A compartments in autophagy initiation

Abstract Autophagy degrades cellular material by sequestering it within autophagosomes, which form de novo from precursors called phagophores. Phagophore assembly and expansion require ATG9A-positive seed compartments, the lipid transfer protein ATG2A, and the class III phosphati...
