Abstract

Autophagy-related (Atg) proteins play a role in autophagy. Atg29 forms a complex with Atg17 and Atg31. When autophagy is initiated, the Atg17-Atg31-Atg29 complex is first targeted to the phagophore assembly site (PAS) and then recruits other Atg proteins [ 1 ]. The complex is recruited to the PAS by Atg11. Atg29 contains an N-terminal functional domain, whereas the C terminus plays a regulatory role. Phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain of Atg29 is required for its interaction with Atg11 and proper PAS localization [ 2 ].
