Journal ArticleDOI
Sterol-regulated transport of SREBPs from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi: oxysterols block transport by binding to Insig.
TL;DR: These studies define Insigs as oxysterol-binding proteins, explaining the long-known ability of oxysterols to inhibit cholesterol synthesis in animal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Switch-like Control of SREBP-2 Transport Triggered by Small Changes in ER Cholesterol: A Delicate Balance
TL;DR: Using a new method to purify ER membranes from cultured cells, it is shown that Scap responds cooperatively to ER cholesterol levels, creating a sensitive switch that controls the cholesterol composition of cell membranes with remarkable precision.
Journal ArticleDOI
NPC2 facilitates bidirectional transfer of cholesterol between NPC1 and lipid bilayers, a step in cholesterol egress from lysosomes

TL;DR: An in vitro assay is established to measure transfer of [3H]cholesterol between these two proteins and phosphatidylcholine liposomes, finding that NPC2 may be essential to deliver or remove cholesterol from NPC1, an interaction that links both proteins to the cholesterol egress process from lysosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensed complexes of cholesterol and phospholipids
TL;DR: This work has discovered that a number of mixtures of dihydrocholesterol and phospholipids form immiscible liquids in monolayer membranes at the air-water interface that exhibit two upper miscibility critical points.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensed complexes of cholesterol and phospholipids.
TL;DR: An overview of the proposed thermodynamic model of "condensed complexes" of lipid bilayer regions of animal cell membranes is given, its relation to other models, and to modern views of the properties ofanimal cell membranes are given.
