Description
<jats:p>Autophagy is classified into nonselective and selective autophagy, depending on the specificity of substrate degradation. In the filamentous fungus <jats:italic>Aspergillus oryzae</jats:italic>, selective autophagy, which includes pexophagy and mitophagy, has been observed. However, the molecular mechanism underlying selective autophagy in filamentous fungi remains unclear. Here, we identified a novel protein that interacts with the autophagy‐related protein Atg8 in <jats:italic>A. oryzae</jats:italic>, named AoAtg8‐interacting protein A (AeiA). AeiA was localized to AoAtg8‐positive autophagic membrane structures and peroxisomes. Moreover, peroxisomal trafficking into the vacuole was reduced in AeiA disruptants. Taken together, AeiA is a novel selective autophagy‐related protein that contributes to pexophagy in <jats:italic>A. oryzae</jats:italic>.</jats:p>
