Deskripsi

The ULK1 complex is required during autophagosome nucleation, but where autophagic membranes initiate is unknown. Here the authors use super-resolution microscopy to propose that autophagosomes originate from tubulovesicular structures in the ER that align with ATG9 vesicles and recruit ULK1.
