modified through phosphorylation of at least 9 serine residues

Until now, no crystal structure has been made of Atg1.

Function

Atg1 has two distinct functions in yeast (for higher eukaryotes see below): the kinase-independent recruitment of downstream Atg proteins (i.e. PAS organization) and a kinase-dependent function in autophagosome formation likely mediated by the phosphorylation of downstream substrates.
