Abstract

Triglyceride hydrolysis by cytosolic and lysosomal lipases mobilizes fatty acids from lipid droplet stores. Kaushik and Cuervo (2015) found that chaperone-mediated autophagy removes the protective barrier from the lipid droplet surface, facilitating lipolysis by cytosolic lipases and assembly of autolipophagosomes for subsequent lysosomal lipid degradation.
