Spatiotemporal contact between peroxisomes and lipid droplets regulates fasting-induced lipolysis via PEX5
Abstract
Lipid droplets are organelles that regulate lipid metabolism but if organellar contacts play a role during lipolysis is unclear. Here, the authors show that peroxisomes and peroxisomal protein PEX5 play pivotal roles in the spatial and temporal regulation of fasting-induced lipolysis by translocating ATGL onto lipid droplets
