Abstract
Fujioka et al. (2020) uncovered liquid-liquid phase separation of the PAS, a key driver of autophagosome formation in yeast. Moreover, the authors demonstrated that liquid-like PAS controls autophagic kinase activation and is itself regulated by the phosphorylation status of its constituents.
