Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an important anionic phospholipid that is synthesized within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). While PS shows the highest enrichment and serves important functional roles in the plasma membrane (PM) but its role in the nucleus is poorly explored. Using three orthogonal approaches, we found that PS is also uniquely enriched in the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and the nuclear reticulum (NR). Nuclear PS is critical for supporting the translocation of CCTα and Lipin1α, two key enzymes important for phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis, from the nuclear matrix to the INM and NR in response to oleic acid treatment. We identified the PS-interacting regions within the M-domain of CCTα and M-Lip domain of Lipin1α, and show that lipid droplet formation is altered by manipulations of nuclear PS availability. Our studies reveal an unrecognized regulatory role of nuclear PS levels in the regulation of key PC synthesizing enzymes within the nucleus.
