Cholesterol Homeostasis: Not until the SCAP Lady INSIGs
Three new studies have wide implications for cholesterol homeostasis, identifying a novel mechanism by which a sterol-sensing domain functions in the regulated activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins.
متن کاملIt's not over until the FAT lady sings.
The death receptors FAS, TRAIL-Rs and TNFR1 play critical roles in programmed cell death, particularly in the immune system. Upon ligation of death receptors, caspase-8 is activated within the so-called ‘Death Induced Signalling Complex’ (DISC) but the mechanisms that mediate and modulate the activation of caspase-8 are still not fully understood. This is an important issue because caspase-8 is...
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 ...
متن کاملSterol-regulated transport of SREBPs from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi: oxysterols block transport by binding to Insig.
Cholesterol synthesis in animals is controlled by the regulated transport of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi, where the transcription factors are processed proteolytically to release active fragments. Transport is inhibited by either cholesterol or oxysterols, blocking cholesterol synthesis. Cholesterol acts by binding to the SREBP...
متن کاملCholesterol Contributes to Diabetic Nephropathy through SCAP-SREBP-2 Pathway
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) has been associated with the presence of lipid deposition. We hypothesized that the disruption of intracellular cholesterol feedback may contribute to DN. Diabetes was induced by high fat/sucrose diet and low-dose intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (STZ) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Then diabetic rats were randomly divided into two groups: untreated diabetic gro...
