Despite recent advances in understanding the functions of autophagy in developmental and pathological conditions, the underlying mechanism of where and how autophagosomal structures acquire membrane remains enigmatic. Here, we provide evidence that post-Golgi membrane traffic plays a crucial role in autophagosome formation. Increased secretion of constitutive cargo from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the plasma membrane induced the formation of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3)-positive structures. At the early phase of autophagy, LC3 associated with and then budded off from a distinct TGN domain without constitutive TGN-to-plasma cargo and TGN-to-endosome proteins. The clathrin adaptor protein AP1 and clathrin localized to starvation- and rapamycin-induced autophagosomes. Dysfunction of the AP1-dependent clathrin coating at the TGN but not at the plasma membrane prevented autophagosome formation. Our results thus suggest an essential role of the TGN in autophagosome biogenesis, providing membrane to autophagosomes through an AP1-dependent pathway.
