This term refers to the selective degradation of ribosomes through autophagy by means of autophagolysosomes especially under conditions of starvation. In yeast, the process has been shown to rely on core autophagy components such as ATG1 and ATG7. This specific process, but not bulk autophagy, also requires the ubiquitin protease Ubp3 and its cofactor Bre5. A catalytically inactive mutant of Ubp3 displays a defect in the autophagy-mediated degradation of ribosomes, indicating that ubiquitination plays a key role in this process (Kraft et al, 2008; for overview see also: Cebollero et al, 2012).
