The perilipins generally represent the most abundant lipid droplet (LD) surface proteins in mammalian cells and can target LD subpopulations within the same cell. They are characterized by a conserved organization of disordered and folded regions, as well as a number of divergent features, which contribute to differences in perilipin function and LD targeting. Here, we focus on the C-terminal 4-helix bundle (4HB) domain that is present in all perilipins except for PLIN1. Using biochemical and in silico approaches, we show that the 4HB of PLIN3 is a stably folded domain and interacts with lipid surfaces in vitro and with LDs in model cells. The {beta}-subdomain at the bottom of the helical bundle is required for the binding to LDs, but not for the 4HB stability, suggesting that this region may promote direct interaction with the LD surface. In agreement, the 4HB of PLIN4, which does not contain an {beta}- subdomain, does not bind to LDs. Overall, our work shows that small differences in perilipin structural features impact their differential targeting to LDs.

"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.
