1 In this study, we show that Atg2 has two membrane-binding domains in the N- and C-terminal regions and acts as a membrane tether during autophagosome formation in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae An amphipathic helix in the C-terminal region binds to membranes and facilitates Atg18 binding to PI3P to target the Atg2-Atg18 complex to the PAS.

2 Based on these results, we propose that the Atg2-Atg18 complex tethers the PAS to the ER to initiate membrane expansion during autophagosome formation. Aminosalicylic Acid Atg2p Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
