Three-step docking by WIPI2, ATG16L1 and ATG3 delivers LC3 to the phagophore

In this manuscript, in a near-complete pathway from initial membrane recruitment to LC3 lipidation reaction, we show how a three-step targeting mechanism of the ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L1 machinery ensures a high level of regulatory control on autophagy.
