Mammalian homologs of yeast Atg8 protein (mAtg8s) are important in autophagy, but their exact mode of action remains ill‐defined. Syntaxin 17 (Stx17), a SNARE with major roles in autophagy, was recently shown to bind mAtg8s. Here, we identified LC3‐interacting regions (LIRs) in several SNAREs that broaden the landscape of the mAtg8‐SNARE interactions.
