Autophagy is a bulk degradation process of cytosolic proteins and organelles through the lysosomal/vacuolar machinery. Mitophagy is a type of autophagy that selectively degrades mitochondria. Recent studies have revealed that mitophagy plays an important role in cellular mitochondrial quality control. The budding yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiaeis a powerful model that has been applied to study many biological phenomena. This model organism has contributed greatly to our understanding of autophagy, including the identification of more than 30 autophagy-related genes. Similarly, the molecular mechanisms and physiological roles of mitophagy have been gradually elucidated usingS. cerevisiae. In this chapter, we describe two commonly used protocols to detect mitophagy inS. cerevisiae: fluorescence microscopy and immunoblotting.
