Abstract
Autophagy sequesters cytoplasmic portions into autophagosomes. While selective cargo is engulfed by elongation of cup-shaped isolation membranes (IMs), the morphogenesis of non-selective IMs remains elusive. Based on recent observations, we propose a novel model for autophagosome morphogenesis wherein active regulation of the IM rim serves the physiological roles of autophagy.
