title: Nbr1, a Receptor for ESCRT-Dependent Endosomal Microautophagy in Fission Yeast.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Liu et al. (2015) report that fission yeast Nbr1, sharing a partial homology to the mammalian macroautophagy receptor NBR1, acts as a receptor for ESCRT-dependent endosomal microautophagy that delivers two hydrolytic enzymes from the cytosol to the vacuole.
