An ESCRT-dependent step in fatty acid transfer from lipid droplets to mitochondria through VPS13D−TSG101 interactions
Metabolic rewiring requires the mobilization of fatty acids (FA) from lipid droplets (LDs) at membrane contact sites (MCSs), although the details of FA transfer remain unclear. Here, the authors show that VPS13D and the ESCRT complex remodel LD membranes to promote FA trafficking to mitochondria.
