physiological function | PSS regulates cell growth, lipid storage and mitochondrial function. RNAi-induced decreased of expression reduces phosphatidylserine and depletes plasma membrane Akt. Loss of PSS by RNAi reduces cell size and causes ectopic lipid storage in Drosophila salivary gland. Overexpressing phosphatidylserine decarboxylase enhances the cell growth defect and suppresses the ectopic lipid storage phenotype of pss knockdown. The reduction of mitochondrial phosphatidylserine impairs mitochondrial protein import and mitochondrial integrity | Drosophila melanogaster |
