It is known that pathological protein aggregates can accumulate within the nucleus and can be cleared by a cytosolic autophagy machinery. However, the underlying mechanisms that allow the autophagosome to "see" aberrant proteins that are hidden by the double membrane of the nuclear envelope remains unknown. In a collaborative work, Sunandini Chandra, Philip Mannino and David Thaller provide compelling new evidence for an outside-in mechanism where a transmembrane cargo adaptor localizes at the outer nuclear membrane and reaches across the nuclear envelope lumen to capture the inner nuclear membrane into vesicles that can be ultimately captured by the autophagosome.
