Model of a role of Vps13 in ESCRT-mediated sorting. A lipid transfer protein Vps13 may play a critical role in providing lipids to the endosome that permit continuous ESCRT-mediated sorting. During autophagosome formation, Atg2, another Vps13-like lipid transfer protein, delivers lipids from the ER to the autophagosome to support its expansion.
