Author response image 2. Biochemical Method for Obtaining an Autophagosome-enriched Fraction.

Author response image 2.

(A) Scheme of the purification of autophagosomes from yeast. (B) Total cell lysates from cells grown in YPD medium and starved in SD-N medium for 3 hours. The 15,000 g pellet (P15) fraction from vam3Δ (Atg9-3xFlag, GFP-Atg8) were subjected to density gradient centrifugation and incubated with flag beads to pull down autophagosomes. (C) Detection of Mon1-Ccz1 and Ypt7 on autophagosomes by proteinase K-protection assay. Autophagosomes were collected as described in part B. Equal fractions were then treated with 1 mg/ml proteinase K (PK) in the absence or presence of 1% Triton X-100 (TX).
