Both peroxisomes and lipid droplets regulate cellular lipid homeostasis. Direct inter-organellar contacts as well as novel roles for proteins associated with peroxisome or lipid droplets occur when cells are induced to liberate fatty acids from lipid droplets. We have shown a non-canonical role for as subset of peroxisome-assembly (Peroxin) proteins in this process. Transmembrane proteins Peroxin3, Peroxin13 and Peroxin14 surround newly formed lipid droplets. Trafficking of Peroxin14 to lipid droplets was enhanced by loss of Peroxin19, which directs insertion of transmembrane proteins like Peroxin14 into the peroxisome bilayer membrane. Accumulation of Peroxin14 around lipid droplets did not induce changes to peroxisome size or number, nor was co-recruitment of the remaining Peroxins needed to assemble peroxisomes observed. Increasing the relative level of Peroxin14 surrounding lipid droplets affected recruitment of Hsl lipase. Fat-body specific reduction of these lipid droplet-associated Peroxins causes a unique effect on larval fat body development and affected their survival on lipid-enriched or minimal diets.
Recruitment of Peroxin14 to lipid droplets affects lipid storage in Drosophila.
