Spartin-mediated lipid transfer facilitates lipid droplet turnover

Open access

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles critical for energy storage and membrane lipid homeostasis, whose number and size are carefully regulated in response to cellular conditions. The molecular mechanisms underlying lipid droplet biogenesis and degradation, however, are not well understood. The Troyer syndrome protein spartin (SPG20) supports LD delivery to autophagosomes for turnover via lipophagy. Here, we characterize spartin as a lipid transfer protein whose transfer ability is required for LD degradation. Spartin copurifies with phospholipids and neutral lipids from cells and transfers phospholipids in vitro via its senescence domain. A senescence domain truncation that impairs lipid transfer in vitro also impairs LD turnover in cells while not affecting spartin association with either LDs or autophagosomes, supporting that spartin’s lipid transfer ability is physiologically relevant. Our data indicate a role for spartin-mediated lipid transfer in LD turnover.

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.
