Figure 10
Proposed model for VPS13A function.
(A) Under normal growth conditions VPS13A is localized at the ER-mitochondria contact sites where it is anchored to VAP-A through its FFAT domain and via its C-terminal region it is associated with mitochondria, most likely via mitochondria specific adaptor proteins. VPS13A at this location may facilitate the transfer of lipids between ER and mitochondria and mitochondria fusion and mitophagy occur normally. (B) Under normal conditions VPS13A is also associated to LD, an association mediated via LD specific adaptor proteins. Via VPS13A LD are associated to the ER and VPS13A facilitate the transfer of lipids between ER and LDs. The VPS13A mediated ER-lipid connection halts LD movement. (C) Depletion of VPS13A leads to impaired lipid transfer between ER and mitochondria, leading to abnormal function of mitochondria which become less elongated. (D) Depletion of VPS13A also leads to disconnection of LD and the ER, leading to increased movement and reduced degradation of LD, resulting in increased LD numbers.
