Extended Data Fig. 3. GPAT4 remains in the ER when ERES components, membrane-fusion regulator, tether, and SNAREs are depleted.

Extended Data Fig. 3

a, Depletion of ERES components, Rab, tethering-complex components, and SNAREs results in endogenous GPAT4 co-localizing with ER marker Halo-KDEL without enrichment around LDs. Confocal imaging of live EGFP-GPAT4 endogenous knock-in cells upon RNAi of membrane fusion machinery components, transiently transfected with Halo-KDEL construct, 20 h after 1 mM oleic acid treatment. LDs were stained with MDH. Representative images from 3 independent experiments are shown. Scale bar, 5 and 1 μm (inlay). b, Effect of Sec12, Sar1, Sec23, Rab1, Rint1, Syx5, and Bet1 depletion on LD targeting of GPAT4 is rescued by expressing wildtype proteins. Confocal imaging of live EGFP-GPAT4 endogenous knock-in cells upon RNAi of Sec12, Sar1, Sec23, Rab1, Rint1, Syx5, and Bet1, followed by mCherry (mC) or Halo tagged constructs, 20 hr after 1 mM oleic acid treatment. Scale bar, 5 and 1 μm (inlay). c, Bar graph showing LD targeting ratios from the imaging experiment in b. Mean ± SD, n = (left to right) 30, 29, 27, 26, 26, 26, 42, 54, 29, 25, 31, 24, 32, 31 cells examined over 3 independent experiments. Two-tailed Student’s t-test, #p < 0.0001, compared to respective control transfection. Source numerical data are available in source data.
