Autophagy (‚self-eating‘) is a major catabolic pathway. It plays a role in energy metabolism, but also in the development of different diseases. One of the first complexes to assemble during autophagy is the Atg1-kinase complex. For this study, all subunits of the Atg1-kinase complex were recombinantly expressed and analyzed. Assembly, disassembly and architecture of the complex could be investigated
in vitro. Furthermore, it was shown how assembly of the complex is involved in regulating and promoting autophagy.
