DDHD2 possesses both lipase and transacylase capacities that remodel triglyceride acyl chains
Lingshuang Wu, Yong‐Mi Choi, Mohyeddine Omrane…·Michael V. Airola
This paper identifies DDHD2 as a neutral lipid lipase and transacylase that remodels triglyceride acyl chains by transferring acyl groups between lipids.

Differential reliance of CTD-nuclear envelope phosphatase 1 on its regulatory subunit in ER lipid synthesis and storage
Jake W. Carrasquillo Rodríguez, Onyedikachi Uche, Shujuan Gao…·Shirin Bahmanyar
This study shows that CTDNEP1's regulatory subunit NEP1R1 controls its degradation to regulate ER membrane synthesis via lipin 1, but not lipid droplet biogenesis.

Structure and mechanism of the human CTDNEP1-NEP1R1 membrane protein phosphatase complex necessary to maintain ER membrane morphology
Shujuan Gao, Jake W. Carrasquillo Rodríguez, Shirin Bahmanyar, Michael V. Airola
This study identifies CTDNEP1-NEP1R1 as a conserved membrane phosphatase complex that restricts ER expansion, with NEP1R1 activating CTDNEP1 through structural stabilization and substrate orientation.
