Model for the role of mitochondrial function in autophagy regulation under amino-acid starvation. Amino-acid starvation induces the two regulatory arms of the autophagic response, ATG8 induction and autophagic flux. Autophagic flux is regulated in an Atg1, PKA, and TORC1-dependent manner, while ATG8 induction is regulated by PKA. Mitochondrial respiratory deficiency induces PKA activity and, thereby, suppresses both arms of the autophagic response.
