Upon C. elegans’s oocyte fertilization, the sperm brings mitochondria and membranous organelles (MOs) which are rapidly eliminated by autophagy. Their poly-ubiquitylation is suspected to be a signal for their recognition and degradation but mitochondria poly-ubiquitylation remains debated. Using fluorescent Tandem-repeated Ubiquitin-Binding Entities (TUBEs) we confirmed the presence of K48- and K63-ubiquitin chains on MOs contrasting with the absence of signal on sperm mitochondria. This new and sensitive approach confirmed the poly-ubiquitylation of the MOs while providing additional arguments for the absence of substantial poly-ubiquitylation of sperm-derived mitochondria, suggesting that K63- and K48-poly-ubiquitylation are unlikely acting as a common targeting signal for their degradation.
