A Model of Autophagy Size Selectivity by Receptor Clustering on Peroxisomes

Selective autophagy must not only select the correct type of organelle, but also must discriminate between individual organelles of the same kind so that some but not all of the organelles are removed. We propose that physical clustering of autophagy receptor proteins on the organelle surface can pr...
