Aster proteins mediate the nonvesicular transport of cholesterol from plasma membrane (PM) to endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, importance sterol movement for physiology and pathophysiology in various tissues is incompletely understood. Here we show that loss Aster-B leads diet-induced obesity insulin resistance female but not male mice, this sex difference abolished by ovariectomy. We further demonstrate deficiency impairs PM ER ovaries vivo, leading hypogonadism reduced estradiol synthesis. Female Aster-B-deficient mice exhibit locomotor activity energy expenditure, consistent with established effects estrogens on systemic metabolism. Administration exogenous ameliorates phenotype mice. These findings highlight key role Aster-B-dependent regulating production protecting females obesity.

Significance Feedback control of cholesterol metabolism is essential for cell viability and prevention heart attacks. Cells acquire from receptor-mediated uptake low-density lipoprotein, which delivers to lysosomes. To exert feedback control, must reach the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here we use a CRISPR screen show that lysosome-derived moves first plasma membrane then ER. The last movement requires an enzyme produces phosphatidylserine. This demonstrates transmembrane one lipid (cholesterol) another (phosphatidylserine). Our results explain how organelle (ER) monitors content (plasma membrane), thereby maintaining integrity ensuring survival.

Transport "accessible" pool from (PM) endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ER-localized GRAMD1 proteins (GRAMD1a/1b/1c) contributes homeostasis. However, how cells detect within PM remains unclear. We show that GRAMD1b, coincidence detector anionic lipids, phosphatidylserine (PS), cholesterol, possesses distinct but synergistic sites sensing lipids. find mutation associated with intellectual disability in humans specifically impairs sensing. In addition, we identified another point enhances sensitivity without altering its PS sensitivity. Cell-free reconstitution cell-based assays revealed ability sense regulates tethering determines rate transport GRAMD1b. Thus, codistribution lipids fine-tune non-vesicular ER via GRAMD1s.

Modulation of membrane lipid composition and organization is currently developing as an effective therapeutic strategy against a wide range diseases, including cancer. This field, known membrane-lipid therapy, has risen from new discoveries on the complex lipids between proteins in plasma membranes. Membrane microdomains present all eukaryotic cells, rafts, have been recognized important concentrating platform for protein receptors involved regulation intracellular signaling, apoptosis, redox balance immune response. The difference cellular membranes healthy cells tumor allows development novel therapies based targeting cancer to increase sensitivity chemotherapeutic agents consequently defeat multidrug resistance. In current manuscript strategies influencing cholesterol/sphingolipids content will be presented together with innovative ones, more focused changing biophysical properties bilayer without affecting its constituents.

Cholesterol homeostasis is related to multiple diseases in humans, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative hepatic diseases. The cholesterol levels cells are balanced dynamically by uptake, biosynthesis, transport, distribution, esterification, export. In this review, we focus on de novo synthesis, synthesis regulation, intracellular trafficking. addition, the progression of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) at contact sites between organelles considered.

Intestinal absorption is an important contributor to systemic cholesterol homeostasis. Niemann-Pick C1 Like 1 (NPC1L1) assists in the initial step of dietary uptake, but how moves downstream NPC1L1 unknown. We show that Aster-B and Aster-C are critical for nonvesicular movement enterocytes. Loss diminishes accessible plasma membrane (PM) abolishes Aster recruitment intestinal brush border. Enterocytes lacking Asters accumulate PM endoplasmic reticulum depletion. Aster-deficient mice have impaired protected against diet-induced hypercholesterolemia. Finally, pathway can be targeted with a small-molecule inhibitor manipulate uptake. These findings identify as physiologically pharmacologically tractable node lipid absorption.

Membranes are molecular interfaces that compartmentalize cells to control the flow of nutrients and information. These functions facilitated by diverse collections lipids, nearly all which distributed asymmetrically between two bilayer leaflets. Most models biomembrane structure function often include implicit assumption these leaflets have similar abundances phospholipids. Here, we show this is generally invalid investigate consequences lipid abundance imbalances in mammalian plasma membranes (PM). Using quantitative lipidomics, discovered cytoplasmic human erythrocyte >50% overabundance phospholipids compared exoplasmic This imbalance enabled an asymmetric interleaflet distribution cholesterol, regulates cellular cholesterol homeostasis. features produce unique functional characteristics, including low PM permeability resting tension leaflet protein localization. largely overlooked aspects membrane asymmetry represent evolution classic paradigms physiology.
