Members of the autophagy class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex I interact with GABARAP and GABARAPL1 via LIR motifs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-04)Autophagosome formation depends on a carefully orchestrated interplay between membrane-associated protein complexes.
