And it's out! Some nice biochemistry reveals how the yeast Seipin compelx organizes in vivo across LD formation https://t.co/Fzlwc58hK4
biorxiv.org
Lipid droplets (LDs) are neutral lipid storage organelles that emerge from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Their assembly occurs in ER regions enriched with seipin which, through its homooligomeric...

Have a look at our new preprint about #LipidDroplet motility and #MembraneContactSites! This was a fantastic collaborations with @KuemmelLab, @ruferbus, Florian Fröhlich lab and @RolandSoldner
https://t.co/FZADWT5L1k
biorxiv.org
Organelle motility enables strategic cellular reorganizations. In yeast, this process depends on the actin cytoskeleton, type V myosin motor proteins, and organelle-specific myosin adaptor proteins....

Can we already call this an #EMBOlipidDroplets workshop series? Soooooo much looking forward to hosting the #LipidDroplet crowd once more in Spain next year!!😃

Now @MariaBohnert & team (Muenster) show LDO proteins (yeast homologs of promethin) are the lipid droplet components of the bridge to the vacuole They also show Ldo45 (not Ldo16) binds the lanosterol/PI transfer protein Pdr16 (=Sfh3) + see parallel paper: https://t.co/8qo9r6espn
I am thrilled to see our work on the #Vacuole #LipidDroplet #MembraneContactSite vCLIP published in @Dev_Cell! Fantastic collaboration with @ruferbus and @schmidtlabIBK. Huge thanks to the whole team, I am so proud of you all! https://t.co/UySVXlrKvT

Highly recommend reading! Two very interesting DevCell-papers on vacuole-lipid droplet contact sites (vCLIP) this month from the labs of #YLC2024 speakers @MariaBohnert and Sabrina Büttner (@ButtnerLab): https://t.co/AVfavSR3lF & https://t.co/udtMfsu8AU

We are so proud to share the final version of our latest #MembraneContactSites story🎉, now in @Dev_Cell. We identify the LDO proteins and Vac8 as a tethering pair between the vacuole and lipid droplets (vCLIP) that mediates microlipophagy in starvation https://t.co/jHAhSJWvVf
cell.com
Álvarez-Guerra et al. identify the tethering machinery of the membrane contact site that enables lipid droplet consumption via lipophagy. They show that nutrient exhaustion drives the formation of...
