ABSTRACT
Autophagy functions in both selective and non-selective ways to maintain cellular homeostasis. Endoplasmic reticulum autophagy (ER-phagy) is a subclass of autophagy responsible for the degradation of the endoplasmic reticulum through selective encapsulation into autophagosomes. ER-phagy occurs both under physiological conditions and in response to stress cues, and plays a crucial role in maintaining the homeostatic control of the organelle. Although specific receptors that target parts of the ER membrane, as well as, internal proteins for lysosomal degradation have been identified, the molecular regulation of ER-phagy has been elusive. Recent work has uncovered novel regulators of ER-phagy that involve post-translational modifications of ER-resident proteins and functional cross-talk with other cellular processes. Herein, we discuss how morphology affects the function of the peripheral ER, and how ER-phagy modulates the turnover of this organelle. We also address how ER-phagy is regulated at the molecular level, considering implications relevant to human diseases.
