The double‐membrane‐bound autophagosome is formed by the closure of a structure
called the phagophore, origin of which is still unclear. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is …

[HTML][HTML] The ER contact proteins VAPA/B interact with multiple autophagy proteins to modulate autophagosome biogenesis

YG Zhao, N Liu, G Miao, Y Chen, H Zhao, H Zhang - Current Biology, 2018 - cell.com

[HTML][HTML] Super-assembly of ER-phagy receptor Atg40 induces local ER remodeling at contacts with forming autophagosomal membranes

K Mochida, A Yamasaki, K Matoba, H Kirisako… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is selectively degraded by autophagy (ER-phagy) through
proteins called ER-phagy receptors. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Atg40 acts as an ER …

[HTML][HTML] A new type of ERGIC–ERES membrane contact mediated by TMED9 and SEC12 is required for autophagosome biogenesis

Under stress, the endomembrane system undergoes reorganization to support
autophagosome biogenesis, which is a central step in autophagy. How the endomembrane …

ER-phagy mediates selective degradation of endoplasmic reticulum independently of the core autophagy machinery

S Schuck, CM Gallagher, P Walter - Journal of cell science, 2014 - journals.biologists.com
Selective autophagy of damaged or redundant organelles is an important mechanism for
maintaining cell homeostasis. We found previously that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in …

[HTML][HTML] Two distinct mechanisms target the autophagy-related E3 complex to the pre-autophagosomal structure
