When the actin polymerization occurs at one spot on the surface of an autophagosome, which coincides with the location of WHAMM on these organelles, an actin comet tail is formed, and the rapid assembly / disassembly
of the actin polymers «pushes» the autophagosome toward the lysosome for final processing.
