The mechanism of isolation membrane formation in autophagy is receiving intensive study. We recently found that Atg9 translocates phospholipids across liposomal membranes and proposed that this functionality plays an essential role in the expansion of isolation membranes. The distribution of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate in both leaflets of yeast autophagosomal membranes supports this proposal, but if Atg9-mediated lipid transport is crucial, symmetrical distribution in autophagosomes should ...[more]
