Lipid storage protein 2 (Lsd 2) is a conserved insect protein that belongs to the small PAT family of proteins. PAT proteins are found associated to the lipid droplets of adipocytes and play significant roles in the regulation of triacylglycerides metabolism. Here we describe the expression and purification of Lsd2, its reconstitution in lipoprotein particles, the location of putative lipid binding sites and its secondary structure. This study provides the starting point for future studies on th ...[more]
