Abstract:Extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins consisting of an SMP domain and multiple C2 domains that bind phospholipids and Ca2+. E-Syts create contact junctions between the ER and plasma membrane to facilitate lipid exchange. During adipocyte differentiation, the proteasome-based removal of the C2C domain results in targeting of E-Syt3 to the primordial cisterna, a previously undescribed giant annular organelle that mothers the LDs. Further cleavage causes the E-Syt3 relocation to… Show more
