Trans-Golgi network-lipid droplet contacts maintain the TGN integrity and function via lipid transfer activities of VPS13B
biorxiv(2020)
摘要
While the physical interactions between the Golgi apparatus (Golgi) and lipid droplets (LDs) have been suggested through system-level imaging, the bona fide and functional Golgi-LD membrane contact sites (MCSs) remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we demonstrate that vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13B (VPS13B) mediates trans-Golgi network (TGN)-LD interactions. VPS13B is specifically accumulated at TGN-LD MCSs with its C-terminal region targeting LDs via an amphipathic helix while a putative WD40 module and a C-terminal Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain independently recognizing TGN via directly binding to Rab6. A putative lipid transfer domain (LTD) at the N-terminal portion of VPS13B binds glycerophospholipids in vitro . VPS13B suppression results in severe fragmentation of the TGN, an effect that can be almost completely rescued by the expression of VPS13B-LTD. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that VPS13B mediates lipid transfer at TGN-LD MCSs to maintain TGN integrity and function.
