Autophagy is a multistage, intracellular process. Here, we highlight a recently identified autophagosomal components recycling (ACR) stage and the recycler complex (SNX4-SNX5-SNX17), which mediates recycling of autophagosomal outer membrane proteins on the autolysosome surface immediately following autophagosome-lysosome fusion. This discovery opens numerous research directions into the postfusion fate of autophagosomes.

Autophagy, a conserved catabolic process implicated in a diverse array of human diseases, requires efficient fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes to function effectively. Recently, SNAP47 has been identified as a key component of the dual-purpose SNARE complex mediating autophagosome-lysosome fusion in both bulk and selective autophagy. However, the spatiotemporal regulatory mechanisms of this SNARE complex remain unknown.

The autophagosome is a double-membrane organelle that executes macroautophagy. Previous studies have shown that the autophagosome formation is driven by autophagy-related genes, among which ATG9 is the only conserved transmembrane protein and has been shown to play a critical role in the autophagosome formation. However, how ATG9 binds to the growing autophagosome membrane has remained uncertain.

Macroautophagy deploys a wealth of autophagy-related proteins to synthesize the double-membrane autophagosome, in order to engulf cytosolic components for lysosome-dependent degradation. The recruitment of the ATG12~ATG5-ATG16L1 complex by WIPI family proteins is a crucial step in autophagosome formation. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism by which WIPI3 facilitates the recruitment of the ATG12~ATG5-ATG16L1 complex remains largely unknown.

Canonical autophagy captures within specialized double-membrane organelles, termed autophagosomes, an array of cytoplasmic components destined for lysosomal degradation. An autophagosome is completed when the growing phagophore undergoes ESCRT-dependent membrane closure, a prerequisite for its subsequent fusion with endolysosomal organelles and degradation of the sequestered cargo. ATG9A, a key integral membrane protein of the autophagy pathway, is best known for its role in the formation and expansion of phagophores.
