Autophagy-supplied substrates prevent energy crisis and fatal nucleotide depletion. Substrates derived from autophagy are required to generate ATP via tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle–driven oxidative phosphorylation in starvation. In the absence of autophagy, defective de novo nucleotide synthesis and increased nucleotide degradation cause nucleotide pool depletion and cell death.
