Autophagy-related proteins (ATGs) 2A and 9A have an essential role in autophagy by mediating lipid transfer and re-equilibration between membranes for autophagosome formation. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of human ATG2A in complex with WD-repeat protein interacting with phosphoinositides 4 (WIPI4) at 3.2 Å and the ATG2A-WIPI4-ATG9A complex at 7 Å global resolution. On the basis of molecular dynamics simulations, we propose a mechanism of lipid extraction from the donor membranes. Our analysis revealed 3:1 stoichiometry of the ATG9A-ATG2A complex, directly aligning the ATG9A lateral pore with ATG2A lipid transfer cavity, and an interaction of the ATG9A trimer with both the N-terminal and the C-terminal tip of rod-shaped ATG2A. Cryo-electron tomography of ATG2A liposome-binding states showed that ATG2A tethers lipid vesicles at different orientations. In summary, this study provides a molecular basis for the growth of the phagophore membrane and lends structural insights into spatially coupled lipid transport and re-equilibration during autophagosome formation.  | |||||||||
