In situ visualization of autophagy reveals the presence of vesicles at the expanding phagophore rim

The autophagy core machinery mediates the enclosure of cytosolic cargo destined for degradation in the lysosome. The Atg9-Atg2-Atg18 complex coordinates phagophore expansion via directed lipid transfer until closure of the phagophore rim. Using an Atg2 variant (Atg2-PM4) as a mod...
