Dynamin-2 promotes Atg9A retrieval from phagophores during autophagy.

Andrew W. Caliri, Alejandro Martorell Riera, Panagiota Kolitsida…·Alexander M. van der Bliek

This study shows that Dynamin-2 facilitates Atg9A retrieval from phagophores during autophagy by mediating membrane fission, preventing Atg9A degradation in autophagosomes.
