Results reveal that a posttranslational modification discriminates a form of Atg32 targeting mitochondria for mitophagy from that, which escapes mitophagy by rapid degradation.
Title: The Degradation Pathway of the Mitophagy Receptor Atg32 Is Re-Routed by a Posttranslational Modification.

Amelioration of Atg32 expression and attenuation of Atg8-phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine conjugation markedly rescue mitophagy in opi null cells.
Title: Phospholipid methylation controls Atg32-mediated mitophagy and Atg8 recycling.

Based on findings, authors conclude that the Tor and PpSin3-PpRpd3 pathway regulates PpAtg32 expression, but not PpAtg32 phosphorylation.

data implicate Atg32 as a bipartite platform recruiting Atg8 and Atg11 to the mitochondrial surface and forming an initiator complex crucial for mitophagy.
Title: Autophagy-related protein 32 acts as autophagic degron and directly initiates mitophagy.
