Cell 1996, 85:1037-1046. This paper elegantly demonstrates that the release of SREBP-2 from the ER membrane requires two sequential proteolytic cleavages. The first cleavage is regulated by sterols while the second cleavage, which can occur only after the first cleavage, is not regulated by sterols. Mutant M-19 and SRD-6 cells are normal at the first cleavage step but defective at the second cleavage step, thus enabling the authors to detect accumulation of a critical intermediate of SREBP-2 after the first cleavage.

An ingenious expression cloning strategy was designed to clone the mutant gene in 25-RA cells. A new gene encoding the protein called SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) was discovered. Sterol resistance in 25-RA cells was traced to a gain-of-function point mutation in the protein coding region of SCAP. SCAP may be a regulator of the site 1 protease for cleaving SREBPs.
