Lipid droplet biogenesis from specialized ER subdomains

Choudhary, Vineet ; Schneiter, Roger

In: Microbial Cell, 2020, vol. 7, no. 8, p. 218–221

Lipid droplets (LDs) are cellular compartments dedicated to the storage of metabolic energy in the form of neutral lipids, commonly known as “fat”. The biogenesis of LDs takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but its spatial and temporal organization is poorly understood. How exactly sites of LD formation are selected and the succession of proteins and lipids needed to mediate...

Seipin and Nem1 establish discrete ER subdomains to initiate yeast lipid droplet biogenesis

Choudhary, Vineet ; El Atab, Ola ; Mizzon, Giulia ; Prinz, William A. ; Schneiter, Roger

In: Journal of Cell Biology, 2020, vol. 219, no. 7, p. -

Lipid droplets (LDs) are fat storage organelles that originate from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Relatively little is known about how sites of LD formation are selected and which proteins/lipids are necessary for the process. Here, we show that LDs induced by the yeast triacylglycerol (TAG)-synthases Lro1 and Dga1 are formed at discrete ER subdomains defined by seipin (Fld1), and a...
