Congratulations with a great study!!!😁👍🍾
Great work establishing the role of phase separation and mobility of autophagy receptors on the cargo via multivalent, low-affinity interactions in the formation of initiation hubs (NEW TERM) upon initiation of autophagosome formation in selective autophagy.

🚨 Paper Alert! We’re starting off the year with our latest publication in @naturecellbiology.bsky.social on the role of phase separation in selective autophagy initiation!
This work was a close and exciting collaboration with

Phase separation of initiation hubs on cargo is a trigger switch for selective autophagy - Nature Cell Biology

Licheva, Pflaum, Babic, Mancilla et al. show that low-affinity cargo–receptor interactions promote autophagy receptor mobility and condensation of the scaffold protein Atg11 to trigger initiation hub ...
