Selective autophagy is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis under different growth conditions. Huntingtin, mutated versions of which have been implicated in Huntington disease, is now shown to act as a scaffold protein that couples the induction of autophagy and the selective recruitment of cargo into autophagosomes.
