FIGURE 1.
HSP proteins involved in different steps of LD biogenesis. LD biogenesis progress occurring at the ER as shown from left to right. (1) ER morphogens regulate membrane curvature required to initiate LD biogenesis. (2) Neutral lipid accumulates between the two leaflets of the ER to form nascent LDs that (3) continue to expand to early LDs (4) and finally lead to mature LDs that (5) may undergo detachment from the ER. HSP-associated proteins involved in each of these steps are indicated. Made with Biorender.com.
