Abstract:Lipid droplets (LDs) are storage organelles for neutral lipids. Our knowledge about fungal LD biogenesis is limited to budding yeast. Moreover, regulation of LD in multinucleated filamentous fungi with considerable metabolic activity is unknown. Here, 19 LD-associated proteins were identified in Aspergillus oryzae using colocalization screening of a previously established Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) fusion proteins library. Following a functional screening, 12 candidates have been identified as l… Show more
