In situ architecture of the lipid transport protein VPS13C at ER-lysosomes membrane contacts

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Shujun Cai, Yumei Wu, Andres Guillen-Samander, William F Hancock-Cerutti, Jun Liu and Pietro De Camilli | Summary: VPS13 is a eukaryotic lipid transport protein localized at membrane contact sites. Previous studies suggested that it may transfer lipids between adjacent bilayers by a bridge-like mechanism. Direct evidence for this hypothesis […]
