Structure of the lipidated Atg8-E1-E2-E3 membrane scaffold

Caption

(a) Lipidated Atg8-E1-E2-E3 forms a membrane scaffold that is flexible and mesh-like (Scale bar: 30 nanometers).

(b) Lipidated Atg8-E1-E2-E3 membrane scaffold is constructed by multivalent weak protein-protein interactions mediated by intrinsically disordered regions and protein-membrane interactions.
