    Abstract Membrane contact sites (CSs) are specialized cellular regions where distinct organelles are actively positioned very close to each other, at a distance of just a few nanometers. Structurally, CS formation depends on tether proteins that physically link organellar membranes to each other. Functionally, these structures act as hotspots for communication and material transfer. In recent years, we are starting to understand that the cellular CS landscape is not static but instead responds dynamically to diverse metabolic cues. This review describes the interplay between cellular metabolism and CS-based organelle communication and discusses molecular mechanisms of contact modulation in cellular adaptation to changing metabolic requirements.

    Abstract Lipids act as building blocks for all cellular membranes and as key energy carriers. Neutral storage lipids are packaged into specialized organelles termed Lipid Droplets (LDs). LDs dynamically respond to the metabolic state of the cell, and undergo cycles of de novo biogenesis, growth, shrinkage, and consumption. How these processes are mediated on a molecular level is a key objective of the LD field. The yeast Lipid Droplet Organization (LDO) proteins and the human promethin/TMEM159/LDAF1 are newly identified molecular players involved in different aspects of the life cycle of LDs. These factors show remote homology to each other, and are physically and functionally linked to seipin, a central component in LD formation and adipogenesis.

    Abstract The nuclear envelope is a unique subdomain of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that encapsulates the genome and mediates communication between the nucleus and the rest of the cell via nuclear pore complexes. A recent study by Romanauska and Köhler shows that balanced lipid unsaturation is critical for nuclear envelope and nuclear pore complex architecture and function.

    Abstract Lipid droplets (LDs) are central hubs in cellular lipid handling. They serve as lipid storage organelles and are involved in neutral lipid biosynthesis and breakdown as well as in the production of phospholipids and sterols. For communication with other organelles, LDs are heavily engaged in contact sites. The molecular basis of these structures is formed by proteins or protein complexes termed tethers, which attach partner organelles to the surface of LDs. Here, we describe the structural and functional characteristics of recently identified LD tethers. Intriguingly, these LD tethers have additional features, such as the structural capacity to form tri-organellar contacts, domains specialized for interorganellar bulk lipid transfer, and connections to specific lipid metabolism enzymes, which might collectively contribute to the key role of LDs in cellular lipid flux.

Shin et al. show that a glucose-starvation-induced drop in cytosolic pH alters the protonation state of the phosphoinositide PI4P, resulting in dissociation of its effector Osh1 from the trans-Golgi network membrane and metabolic regulation of lipid and protein sorting.

    Abstract Both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lipid droplets (LDs) are key players in lipid handling. In addition to this functional connection, the two organelles are also tightly linked due to the fact that the ER is the birthplace of LDs. LDs have an atypical architecture, consisting of a neutral lipid core that is covered by a phospholipid monolayer. LD biogenesis starts with neutral lipid synthesis in the ER membrane and formation of small neutral lipid lenses between its leaflets, followed by budding of mature LDs toward the cytosol. Several ER proteins have been identified that are required for efficient LD formation, among them seipin, Pex30, and FIT2. Recent evidence indicates that these LD biogenesis factors might cooperate with specific lipids, thus generating ER subdomains optimized for LD assembly. Intriguingly, LD biogenesis reacts dynamically to nutrient stress, resulting in a spatial reorganization of LD formation in the ER.
