Lipid droplet (LD) growth mechanisms and the roles of LD-associated lipid transfer proteins remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the autophagy lipid transfer protein ATG2A has an anabolic role and promotes LD expansion by transferring diacylglycerol (DAG), and potentially triacylglycerol ...
The ubiquitously distributed ammonia-oxidizing archaea generate energy from ammonia and build cell mass from inorganic carbon sources, thereby contributing to both the global nitrogen and carbon cycles. However, little is known about the regulation of their predicted core carbon metabolism. A the...
