title: Self-destruction in the line of duty.
abstract: Three cellular processes, microautophagy, macroautophagy, and the cytoplasm-to-vacuole (Cvt) pathway, are involved in the cargo delivery from the cytosol to the vacuole or lysosome. Recent findings have identified Cvt19 at the receptor for specific cargo binding in the Cvt pathway.
