Article Synopsis
- Pet10p is a yeast protein that specifically binds to lipid droplets containing triacylglycerol (TG) and is crucial for maintaining their structure.
- Droplets from cells lacking Pet10p are unstable and more likely to fuse when cultured in oleic acid.
- The protein also interacts with endoplasmic reticulum components, indicating its role in the assembly and integrity of lipid droplets, suggesting that its functions extend beyond just protecting them from breakdown.
