Exocyst subcomplex functions in autophagosome biogenesis by regulating Atg9 trafficking

During autophagy, double membrane vesicles called autophagosomes capture and degrade the intracellular cargo. The de novo formation of autophagosomes requires several vesicle transport and membrane fusion events which are not completely understood. We studied the involvement of Exocyst- an octameric tethering complex, which has a primary function in tethering post-Golgi... Show more
