Summary

It is demonstrated that, in post-log phase cells under respiratory conditions, a substantial fraction of mitochondria are exclusively sequestered as cargoes and transported to the vacuole, a lytic compartment in yeast, in an autophagy-dependent manner and suggested that Atg32, a mitochondria-anchored protein essential for mitophagy that is induced during respiratory growth, interacts with Atg8 and Atg11, autophatic proteins critical for recognition of cargo receptors.
