OSBPa, a predicted oxysterol binding protein of Dictyostelium, is required for regulated entry into culmination.

FEBS letters - 11 Sept 2002

Fukuzawa Masashi, Williams Jeffrey G

Abstract excerpt

The oxysterol binding proteins (OSBPs) are believed to control cholesterol homeostasis but their precise mechanism of action is not well understood. The Dictyostelium osbA gene encodes a predicted OSBP, OSBPa, which lacks the PH domain that in most other OSBPs directs targetting to the Golgi. OSBPa instead localises selectively to the cell periphery and also, in some cells, to the perinuclear region. OSBPa null...
