The Z-shaped N-terminal Domain of Atg11 Coordinates Atg9 Binding and Recruitment in Selective Autophagy

Macroautophagy is a conserved catabolic process that facilitates the degradation of cellular material by capturing it in double membrane vesicles termed autophagosomes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, selective macroautophagy is initiated by the scaffolding protein Atg11. Atg11 recruits the transmembrane protein Atg9, whi...
