A Possible Role of VPS13B in the Formation of Golgi-Lipid Droplet Contacts Associating with the ER

While the physical interactions between the Golgi apparatus (Golgi) and lipid droplets (LDs) have been suggested through system-level imaging, the Golgi-LD membrane contact sites (MCSs) remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we show evidence to support the existence of Golgi-LD MCSs in HEK293 cells....

description While the physical interactions between the Golgi apparatus (Golgi) and lipid droplets (LDs) have been suggested through system-level imaging, the Golgi-LD membrane contact sites (MCSs) remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we show evidence to support the existence of Golgi-LD MCSs in HEK293 cells. We further suggest that vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13B (VPS13B) localizes to and promotes the formation of Golgi-LD contacts upon oleic acid (OA) stimulation using 3D high-resolution microscopy. Depletion of VPS13B moderately affects the formation of Golgi-LD contacts upon OA treatment in addition to the fragmentation of the Golgi. Although cellular functions of VPS13B-mediated contacts are still elusive, these findings may provide a new insight into related diseases caused by loss-of-function mutations of VPS13B.
