Figures & data
Figure 1. Model for cargo-induced autophagosome formation. The cargo receptor SQSTM1 directly binds to RB1CC1 and recruits it to the cargo. RB1CC1, a component of the ULK1 complex, is necessary for the recruitment of the ATG12–ATG5-ATG16L1 complex, which in turn supports the conjugation of Atg8-family proteins to the growing phagophore. Concentrated Atg8-family proteins on the phagophore bind to the SQSTM1 LIR motif, thereby displacing RB1CC1 from the receptor and confining it to regions of the cargo where the phagophore has not yet formed.
