“…Additionally, ATG8 proteins function as hubs for selective autophagy routes, as they interact with multiple autophagy cargo receptors, mainly through an ATG8interacting motif (AIM) or a newly identified ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) found on the receptors [3,4,10,11]. In mammalian cells multiple cargo receptors have been identified in recent years, allowing for greater mechanistic understanding of selective autophagy processes and their impact on cellular functions and pathologies [8,[12][13][14]. However, plants lack orthologs to many of the mammalian cargo receptors, and although organelle-specific autophagy, as well as other types of selective autophagy were clearly demonstrated in plants, our mechanistic understanding of these processes and the selective cargo receptors that are required for them is still limited [3,15].…”
