Abstract
SummaryLipid droplets (LDs) are reservoirs for triglycerides (TGs) and sterol-esters (SEs). How lipids are organized within LDs and influence the LD proteome remains unclear. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, we show that glucose restriction triggers lipid phase transitions within LDs generating liquid-crystalline lattices inside them. Mechanistically, this requires TG lipolysis, which alters LD neutral lipid composition and promotes SE transition to a liquid-crystalline phase. Fluorescence imaging and proteomics further reveal that LD liquid-crystalline lattices selectively remodel the LD proteome. Some canonical LD proteins including Erg6 re-localize to the ER network, whereas others remain on LDs. Model peptide LiveDrop also redistributes from LDs to the ER, suggesting liquid-crystalline-phases influence ER-LD inter-organelle transport. Proteomics also indicates glucose restriction elevates peroxisome lipid oxidation, suggesting TG mobilization provides fatty acids for cellular energetics. This suggests glucose restriction drives TG mobilization, which alters the phase properties of LD lipids and selectively remodels the LD proteome.
