Abstract
Mitophagy is the degradation of mitochondria via the autophagy-lysosome system, disruption of which has been linked to multiple neurodegenerative diseases. As a flux process involving the identification, tagging, and degradation of subcellular components, the analysis of mitophagy benefits from the microscopy analysis of fluorescent reporters. Studying the pathogenic mechanisms of disease also benefits from analysis in animal models in order to capture the complex interplay of molecular and cell biological phenomena. Here, we describe protocols to analyze mitophagy reporters in Drosophila by light microscopy.
