Proposed model of AMBRA1 dynamic interaction with the dynein motor complex during autophagy induction. AMBRA1 is bound in a presumably inactive state to the dynein complex via binding to DLC1. After autophagy induction, AMBRA1 is released from the dynein complex upon ULK1-dependent phosphorylation and translocates to the ER together with BECLIN 1–VPS34 to allow autophagosome formation. The dynein motor complex consists of a Head domain (dynein heavy chain) and a Base domain (DIC, DLC1, or DLC2 and other factors such as TCTEX1 and ROADBLOCK1).
