The membrane origin of autophagosomes has long been a mystery and it may involve multiple sources. In this punctum, we discuss our recent finding that the plasma membrane contributes to the formation of pre-autophagic structures via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Our study suggests that Atg16L1 interacts with clathrin heavy-chain/AP2 and is also localized on vesicles (positive for clathrin or cholera toxin B) close to the plasma membrane. Live-cell imaging studies revealed that the plasma membrane contributes to Atg16L1-positive structures and that this process and autophagosome formation are impaired by knockdowns of genes regulating clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
