Data show that Lem3-Dnf1/Dnf2 complex regulates the polar Cdc42 dynamics and phosphatidylserine distribution.
Title: Flippase-mediated phospholipid asymmetry promotes fast Cdc42 recycling in dynamic maintenance of cell?polarity.

Import of choline phospholipids into S. cerevisiae DeltaLem3 vector is partially reconstituted by human TMEM30a and by Lem3p-TMEM30a chimeras, showing that the proteins are orthologous.
Title: Human TMEM30a promotes uptake of antitumor and bioactive choline phospholipids into mammalian cells.

Mutations in LEM3/ROS3 impaired growth in that medium, indicating that Lem3p is involved in the utilization of extracellular phosphatidylcholine (PC) with short acyl chains.
Title: Involvement of LEM3/ROS3 in the uptake of phosphatidylcholine with short acyl chains in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The ELM pathway for lyso-PtdEtn requires the action of Dnf1p and Dnf2p and their requisite beta-subunit, Lem3p, for the active uptake of lyso-PtdEtn. In addition, Ale1p, mediates the acylation of the imported lysolipid to form PtdEtn.
Title: Lysophosphatidylcholine metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: the role of P-type ATPases in transport and a broad specificity acyltransferase in acylation.

Lem3p-Dnf1p complex may play a role distinct from its plasma membrane aminophospholipid translocase activity when it substitutes for the Cdc50p-Drs2p complex, its redundant partner in the endosomal/trans-Golgi network compartments.
Title: Mutational analysis of the Lem3p-Dnf1p putative phospholipid-translocating P-type ATPase reveals novel regulatory roles for Lem3p and a carboxyl-terminal region of Dnf1p independent of the phospholipid-translocating activity of Dnf1p in yeast.
