ORP2 Delivers Cholesterol to the Plasma Membrane in Exchange for Phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-Bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2).

Molecular cell | 2019

Cholesterol is highly enriched at the plasma membrane (PM), and lipid transfer proteins may deliver cholesterol to the PM in a nonvesicular manner. Here, through a mini-screen, we identified the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP)-related protein 2 (ORP2) as a novel mediator of selective cholesterol delivery to the PM. Interestingly, ORP2-mediated enrichment of PM cholesterol was coupled with the removal of phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) from the PM. ORP2 overexpression or deficiency impacted the levels of PM cholesterol and PI(4,5)P2, and ORP2 efficiently transferred both cholesterol and PI(4,5)P2in vitro. We determined the structure of ORP2 in complex with PI(4,5)P2 at 2.7 Å resolution. ORP2 formed a stable tetramer in the presence of PI(4,5)P2, and tetramerization was required for ORP2 to transfer PI(4,5)P2. Our results identify a novel pathway for cholesterol delivery to the PM and establish ORP2 as a key regulator of both cholesterol and PI(4,5)P2 of the PM.

PRISM (tool)

RRID:SCR_005375

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.
