Abstract

Intracellular neutral lipid storage droplets are essential organelles of eukaryotic cells, yet little is known about the proteins at their surfaces or about the amino acid sequences that target proteins to these storage droplets. The mammalian proteins Perilipin, ADRP, and TIP47 share extensive amino acid sequence similarity, suggesting a common function. However, while Perilipin and ADRP localize exclusively to neutral lipid storage droplets, an association of TIP47 with intracellular lipid droplets has been controversial. We now show that GFP-tagged TIP47 co-localizes with isolated intracellular lipid droplets. We have also detected a close juxtaposition of TIP47 with the surfaces of lipid storage droplets using antibodies that specifically recognize TIP47, further indicating that TIP47 associates with intracellular lipid storage droplets. Finally, we show that related proteins from species as diverse as Drosophila and Dictyostelium can also target mammalian or Drosophila lipid droplet surfaces in vivo. Thus, sequence and/or structural elements within this evolutionarily ancient protein family are necessary and sufficient to direct association to heterologous intracellular lipid droplet surfaces, strongly indicating that they have a common function for lipid deposition and/or mobilization.

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.
