The multisubunit phospholipid transport system Mla has been under scrutiny to determine whether it functions as an exporter or an importer. Structural studies accompanied by the reconstitution of the entire Mla system into proteoliposomes now reveal that ATP binding and hydrolysis drive phospholipid import.
