Cholesterol homeostasis: ESCAPe from the ER
نویسنده
چکیده
Transcriptional regulation and membrane traffic have traditionally been quite separate fields of biology, but they have been brought under the same roof by recent advances in understanding the cellular control of cholesterol metabolism.

Catalpol prevents alteration of cholesterol homeostasis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease via attenuating endoplasmic reticulum stress and NOX4 over-expression
Catalpol is a natural product isolated from the root of Rehmannia glutinosa, and contributes to multiple pharmacological functions. Here, we showed the protective effects of catalpol against the alteration of cholesterol homeostasis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and further investigated the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) and NOX4-mediated inhibition in alterati...
متن کاملCrucial Step in Cholesterol Homeostasis Sterols Promote Binding of SCAP to INSIG-1, a Membrane Protein that Facilitates Retention of SREBPs in ER
Using coimmunoprecipitation and tandem mass spectrometry, we identify INSIG-1 as an ER protein that binds the sterol-sensing domain of SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) and facilitates retention of the SCAP/SREBP complex in the ER. In sterol-depleted cells, SCAP escorts SREBPs from ER to Golgi for proteolytic processing, thereby allowing SREBPs to stimulate cholesterol synthesis. Sterols...
متن کاملRegulation of endoplasmic reticulum cholesterol by plasma membrane cholesterol.
The abundance of cell cholesterol is governed by multiple regulatory proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which, in turn, are under the control of the cholesterol in that organelle. But how does ER cholesterol reflect cell (mostly plasma membrane) cholesterol? We have systematically quantitated this relationship for the first time. We found that ER cholesterol in resting human fibroblasts...
متن کاملErlins restrict SREBP activation in the ER and regulate cellular cholesterol homeostasis
Cellular cholesterol levels are controlled by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sterol sensing proteins, which include Scap and Insig-1. With cholesterol sufficiency, Insig inhibits the activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), key transcription factors for cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthetic genes, by associating with Scap-SREBP complexes to promote their ER retention. He...
متن کاملPAQR3 modulates cholesterol homeostasis by anchoring Scap/SREBP complex to the Golgi apparatus
Cholesterol biosynthesis is regulated by transcription factors SREBPs and their escort protein Scap. On sterol depletion, Scap/SREBP complex is transported from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus where SREBP is activated. Under cholesterol sufficient condition, Insigs act as anchor proteins to retain Scap/SREBP in the ER. However, the anchor protein of Scap/SREBP in the Golgi is ...
