ORP5 regulates PI(4)P on the lipid droplet: Novel players on the monolayer

Abstract

How the distinct lipid composition of organelles is determined and maintained is still poorly understood. In this issue, Du et al. (2019. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201905162) show that the lipid transfer protein ORP5 functions at ER–LD contact sites, regulating lipid droplet levels of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate.
