Allosteric enhancement of ORP1-mediated cholesterol transport by PI(4,5)P2/PI(3,4)P2
Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) and cholesterol are known to regulate the function of late endosomes and lysosomes (LELs). Here authors unveil a mechanism by which PI(4,5)P2/PI(3,4)P2 allosterically enhances ORP1-mediated cholesterol exit from LELs.
