Abstract

The principal lipids in animal cell lipid droplets are cholesterol, cholesterol ester, and triglyceride, but the protein composition of this compartment is largely unknown. Here we report on the proteomic analysis of lipid droplets. Using a combination of mass spectrometry and immunoblotting, we identify nearly 40 specifically associated proteins in droplets isolated from Chinese hamster ovary K2 cells grown in normal medium. The proteins fall in to five groups: structural molecules of the droplet-like adipose differentiation-related protein; multiple enzymes involved in the synthesis, storage, utilization, and degradation of cholesterol esters and triglycerides; multiple, different Rab GTPases known to be involved in regulating membrane traffic; signaling molecules such as p50RhoGAP; and a group of proteins that do not fit any classification but include proteins often found in caveolae/rafts such as caveolin-1 and 2 and flotillin-1. The proteome of droplets isolated from cells grown in the presence of oleate is largely the same except for an increase in the amount of adipose differentiation-related protein, caveolin-1, and a protein thought to be involved in phospholipid recycling called CGI-58. Based on the protein profile, the lipid droplet appears to be a complex, metabolically active organelle that is directly involved in membrane traffic and possibly phospholipid recycling. We propose the name adiposome for this organelle.

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.
