Lipid droplets consist of a core of neutral lipids surrounded
by a phospholipid monolayer with bound proteins. Much of
the information on lipid droplet function comes from proteomic
and lipodomic studies that identify the components
of droplets isolated from organisms throughout the phylogenetic
tree. Here, we add to that important inventory by reporting
lipid droplet factors from the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces
pombe. Unique to this study was the fact that cells were
cultured in three different environments: 1) late log growth
phase in glucose-based media, 2) stationary phase in glucosebased
media, and 3) late log growth phase in media containing
oleic acid. We confirmed colocalization of major factors
with lipid droplets using live-cell fluorescent microscopy. We
also analyzed droplets from each of the three conditions for
sterol ester (SE) and triacylglycerol (TAG) content, along
with their respective fatty acid compositions. We identified
a previously undiscovered lipid droplet protein, Vip1p, which
affects droplet size distribution. The results provide further
insight into the workings of these ubiquitous organelles.
