Abstract excerpt
PROPPINs are phosphoinositide-binding β-propeller proteins that mediate membrane recruitment of other proteins and are involved in different membrane remodeling processes. The main role of PROPPINs is their function in autophagy, where they act at different steps in phagophore formation. The human PROPPIN WIPI4 (WDR45) forms a complex with ATG2 involved in phagophore elongation, and mutations in this gene cause...
