Lipid droplets: A dynamic organelle moves into focus

Abstract

Lipid droplets (LDs) were perceived as static storage deposits, which passively participate in the energy homeostasis of both cells and entire organisms. However, this view has changed recently after the realization of a complex and highly dynamic LD proteome. The proteome contains key components of the fat mobilization system and proteins that suggest LD interactions with a variety of cell organelles, including the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and peroxisomes. The study of LD cell biology, including cross‐talk with other organelles, the trafficking of LDs in the cell and regulatory events involving the LD coat proteins is now on the verge of leaving its infancy and unfolds that LDs are highly dynamic cellular organelles.

  • These genes control the storage and decomposition of sterols in lipid droplets, which in S. cerevisiae contain a neutral lipid core consisting of triacylglycerols and sterol esters surrounded by phospholipid.

    “These genes control the storage and decomposition of sterols in lipid droplets, which in S. cerevisiae contain a neutral lipid core consisting of triacylglycerols (TG) and sterol esters (SE) surrounded by phospholipid.”

    From The synthesis, regulation, and functions of sterols in<i>Candida albicans</i>: Well-known but still lots to learn (2016) · cites this paper as [48]

    The Abstract (page unavailable) describes lipid droplets as having a core containing triacylglycerols and sterol esters, surrounded by a phospholipid hemimembrane, and says this structure is highly conserved. It does not establish that the unspecified genes control sterol storage and decomposition in S. cerevisiae; its yeast discussion in section 4 concerns lipid-droplet breakdown and peroxisomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
