ER–Golgi transport and autophagy are tightly connected. Liang and colleagues find that UVRAG binds to PtdIns(3)P to localize it to the ER, from where, under normal conditions, it regulates the transport of COPI cargo transfer to the ER and Golgi integrity, but from where, following autophagy induction, it dissociates to modulate ATG9 transfer to autophagosomes.
