The autophagy protein ATG9A enables lipid mobilization from lipid droplets

ATG9A is transmembrane autophagic machinery protein that delivers phospholipids to expanding autophagosomes. Mailler et al. show that ATG9A is required to mobilize lipids from lipid droplets for autophagosome expansion as well as mitochondrial fatty acid import and β-oxidation.
