Tissue architecture determines its unique physiology and function. How these properties are intertwined has remained unclear. Here, we show that the metabolic enzyme CTP synthase (CTPS) form filamentous structures termed cytoophidia along the adipocyte cortex in Drosophila adipose tissue. Interestingly, loss of cytoophidia, whether due to reduced CTPS expression or a point mutation that specifically abrogates its polymerization ability, leads to downregulated Collagen-Integrin signaling, weakened adipocyte adhesion, and defective adipose architecture. Strikingly, CTPS specifically binds with Integrin subunit 2, which influences Integrin function and Collagen IV deposition. cytoophidia promote Collagen IV mRNA expression and thus its extracellular deposition to strengthen adipocyte adhesion. Remarkably, Collagen IV-Integrin signaling reciprocally regulates cytoophidium formation at a post-translational level. Together, we demonstrate that a positive feedback signaling loop containing both cytoophidia and Integrin adhesion complex couples tissue architecture and metabolism in the fly adipose.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
