The Vps13-like protein BLTP2 is pro-survival and regulates phosphatidylethanolamine levels in the plasma membrane to maintain its fluidity and function

S. Banerjee, S. Daetwyler, X. Bai, M. Michaud, J. Jouhet, S. Madhugiri, E. Johnson, C.-W. Wang, R. Fiolka, A. Toulmay, W. A. Prinz

This study identifies BLTP2 as a pro-survival protein that regulates phosphatidylethanolamine levels in the plasma membrane to maintain its fluidity and function, linking it to cancer aggressiveness.

Plant plasmodesmata bridges form through ER-driven incomplete cytokinesis

Z. P. Li, H. Moreau, J. D. Petit, T. Souza-Moraes, M. Smokvarska, J. Perez-Sancho, M. Petrel, F. Decoeur, L. Brocard, C. Chambaud, M. Grison, A. Paterlini, L. Hoornaert, A. S. Joshi, E. Gontier, , E. M. Bayer

The paper shows the ER stabilizes plasmodesmata during incomplete cytokinesis in plants by preventing fenestrae fusion and forming communication bridges between daughter cells.

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

V. Choudhary, O. E. Atab, G. Mizzon, W. A. Prinz, R. Schneiter

The paper identifies Seipin (Fld1) and Nem1 as proteins that define discrete ER subdomains necessary for recruiting TAG synthases and other factors to initiate yeast lipid droplet biogenesis.

Yeast FIT2 homolog is necessary to maintain cellular proteostasis by regulating lipid homeostasis

P. Shyu, W. S. Yap, M. L. Gaspar, S. A. Jesch, C. Marvalim, W. A. Prinz, S. A. Henry, G. Thibault

This study shows that yeast FIT homologs SCS3 and YFT2 regulate lipid homeostasis and proteostasis by modulating the UPR and HSR pathways.

Lecithin:Retinol Acyl Transferase (LRAT) inducesthe formation of lipid droplets

M. R. Molenaar, T. A. Wassenaar, K. K. Yadav, A. Toulmay, M. C. Mari, L. Caillon, A. Chorlay, M. W. Haaker, R. W. Wubbolts, M. Houweling, A. B. Vaandrager, F. Reggiori, A. R. Thiam, W. A. Prinz, J. B. Helms

This study shows that LRAT produces retinyl esters in yeast, leading to lipid droplet formation, which is morphologically similar to wild-type droplets and confirmed by in silico and in vitro experiments.

Lipid droplet and peroxisome biogenesis occur at the same ER subdomains.

A. S. Joshi, V. Choudhary, T. P. Levine, W. A. Prinz

The paper shows that lipid droplet and peroxisome biogenesis occur at the same ER subdomains in yeast and higher eukaryotes.
