Show abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are upregulated by host cells in the face of pathogen infection, however, the reason for this phenomenon remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that virally induced LDs house a distinct and dynamic proteome containing key antiviral signalling pathway members, including the essential pattern recognition receptor; RIG-I, key adaptor proteins; STAT1 and STAT2 and prominent interferon inducible proteins; viperin and MX1. Changes in the LD proteome were underpinned by specific key changes in the lipidome of virally driven LDs, particularity in the phospholipid membrane. Following virus infection, key antiviral proteins formed complex protein-protein interactions on the LD surface, positioning this organelle as a key antiviral signalling platform for the first time. It is clear that dynamic regulation of both the proteome and the lipidome of LDs occurs rapidly following viral infection towards the initiation of a successful innate immune response.
