The Atg1–kinase complex tethers Atg9-vesicles to initiate autophagy

Autophagosome biogenesis is initiated by recruitment of Atg9-vesicles to the phagophore assembly site. Here Rao et al. use a reconstituted in vitrosystem to describe the mechanism by which activation of the Atg1-kinase complex from its constituent parts recruits and tethers Atg9-vesicles.
