Go for the Golgi: Eating selectively with Calcoco1.

Published in: The Journal of cell biology (2021)
Degradation by macroautophagy can be highly selective, but given the promiscuity of cargo receptors, questions remain surrounding how this selectivity is achieved. In this issue, Nthiga et al. (2021. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202006128) show how the adaptor Calcoco1 distinguishes cargo by how it binds.
