Abstract excerpt
Sterols are moved between cellular membranes by nonvesicular pathways whose functions are poorly understood. In yeast, one such pathway transfers sterols from the plasma membrane (PM) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We show that this transport requires oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs), which are a large family of conserved lipid-binding proteins. We demonstrate that a representative...
