The assembly of lipid droplets and their roles in challenged cells

Abstract

We were in error regarding the cited Hayes et al reference, which showed that FIT2 proteins are in the lipid phosphatase/phosphotransferase family and may have catalytic activity against lipids not yet identified. In this reference, overexpression of either of the two yeast FIT2 proteins in a strain deficient in the three known phosphatidic acid phosphatases yielded no significant PA phosphatase activity. We confused the Hayes reference with a publicly available preprint in which weak lipid phosphatase activity was reported (preprint: Becuwe et al, 2018). The authors regret this error and any confusion it may have caused.
