An ER Protein Functionally Couples Neutral Lipid Metabolism on Lipid Droplets to Membrane Lipid Synthesis in the ER

Eukaryotic cells store neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol (TAG) in lipid droplets (LDs).Here, we have addressed how LDs are functionally linked to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).We show that, in S.cerevisiae, LD growth is sustained by LD-localized enzymes.When LDs grow in early stationary phase, the diacylglycerol acyl-transferase Dga1p moves f
