Lipid droplets (LDs) are fat storage organelles integral to energy homeostasis and a wide range of cellular processes. LDs physically and functionally interact with many partner organelles, including the ER, mitochondria, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Recent findings suggest that the dynamics of LD inter-organelle contacts is in part controlled by LD intracellular motility. LDs can be…

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the most pervasive organelle, exchanges information and material with many other organelles, but the extent of its inter-organelle connections and the proteins that form bridges are not well known. The integral ER membrane protein VAMP-associated protein (VAP) is found in multiple bridges, interacting with many proteins that contain a short linear…
Lipid transfer between organelles requires proteins that shield the hydrophobic portions of lipids as they cross the cytoplasm. In the last decade a new structural form of lipid transfer protein (LTP) has been found: long hydrophobic grooves made of beta-sheet that bridge between organelles at membrane contact sites. Eukaryotes have five families of bridge-like LTPs:…
Loss of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) complex that resides in contact sites between the yeast ER and mitochondria leads to impaired respiration; however, the reason for that is not clear. We find that in ERMES null mutants, there is an increase in the level of mRNAs encoding for biosynthetic enzymes of coenzyme…
Membrane contact sites are formed by tether proteins that have the ability to bring two organellar membranes together. VAP proteins are a family of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident tether proteins specialized in interacting with FFAT (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract) peptide motifs in other proteins. If the FFAT-motif-containing proteins reside on other organelles, VAP proteins…
