autophagy-related genes (ATGs) can be divided into three categories with respect to their function: (i) ATG1-ATG13 comprising the kinase complex, an upstream regulator that initiates autophagosome formation (Suttangkakul et al, 2011); (ii) The ATG9 and ATG6/vps30 complexes involved in vacuolar protein sorting in which ATG9 interacts with ATG2 and ATG18, boosting phagophore expansion
The ATG6/vps30 complex recruited by ATG14, which localizes to the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS) as well as the vacuolar membrane, to generate the autophgosomes (Tooze and Yoshimori, 2010); (iii) ubiquitin like conjugation systems (ATG5-ATG12 complex and ATG8-PE complex), which is essential for autophagosome formation
