Functional genomics reveals genes involved in protein secretion and Golgi organization.
Vmp1, Vps13D, and Marf/Mfn2 function in a conserved pathway to regulate mitochondria and ER contact in development and disease.
-
Drosophila Vmp1 is Tango5. Endogenous GFP-Vmp1 co-localizes with ER markers, and Vmp1 loss blocks Atg8a puncta formation and causes Ref2p accumulation.
"GFP-Vmp1 co-localizes with the ER markers Sec61β and SERCA in intestine cells"
TMEM41B and VMP1 are scramblases and regulate the distribution of cholesterol and phosphatidylserine.
A model for a partnership of lipid transfer proteins and scramblases in membrane expansion and organelle biogenesis.
