Close proximities between organelles have been described for decades. However, only
recently a specific field dealing with organelle communication at membrane contact sites …

Peroxisomes are key metabolic organelles, which contribute to cellular lipid metabolism, eg
the β-oxidation of fatty acids and the synthesis of myelin sheath lipids, as well as cellular …

Nascent lipid droplet (LD) formation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane
but it is not known how sites of biogenesis are determined. We previously identified ER …

Lipid droplets (LDs) and peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles with central roles in
eukaryotic cells. Although the mechanisms involved in biogenesis of these organelles …

PEX genes encode proteins involved in peroxisome biogenesis and proliferation. Using a
comparative genomics approach, we clarify the evolutionary relationships between the 37 …

Peroxisomes are conserved organelles of eukaryotic cells with important roles in cellular
metabolism, human health, redox homeostasis, as well as intracellular metabolite transfer …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous organelles that play crucial roles in response to
physiological and environmental cues. The identification of several neutral lipid synthesizing …

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) physically interacts with chromatin and regulates gene
expression. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae inner ring nucleoporin Nup170 has been …

Discoveries spanning several decades have pointed to vital membrane lipid trafficking
pathways involving both vesicular and non-vesicular carriers. But the relative contributions …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a eukaryotic organism with a clear genetic background and
mature gene operating system; in addition, it exhibits environmental tolerance. Therefore, S …
