In contrast to existing views, this study suggests that NPC1 is involved in regulating recycling of plasma-membrane-derived cholesterol, rather than egression of cholesterol, following hydrolysis of LDL-mediated cholesterol delivery. The latter reaches the cell surface, and it is the subsequently reinternalized cholesterol fraction that depends on NPC1 for recycling. Accordingly, NPC1 may discriminate between different cholesterol pools.

Nat Cell Biol. 1:1999;386-388. This work elegantly demonstrates the role of cholesterol as the common denominator in sphingolipid storage in fibroblasts from ten different storage diseases. Implicitly, this study confirms the dominant role of cholesterol in modulating the recycling of both (sphingo)lipids and proteins.

Exploiting the partitioning of lipid probes into membrane domains of distinct fluidity, they were used to define the molecular parameters (which are correlated to membrane biophysical properties) that determine the sorting of lipids and lipid-attached compounds in eukaryotic cells. The overall findings are consistent with the effect of membrane rigidity (also accomplished by modulating the cellular pool of cholesterol) on regulating recycling versus endosomal/lysosomal trafficking pathways.

Genetic evidence for ATP-dependent endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi apparatus trafficking of ceramide for sphingomyelin synthesis in Chinese hamster ovary cells. J Cell Biol. 144:1999;673-685. In a mutant cell line defective in SM biosynthesis, an energy-dependent and energy-independent transport step for transport of ceramide from ER to Golgi is demonstrated. Protein transport in these cells is not impaired, raising intriguing questions about the mechanism of ceramide-mediated transport and energy-(in)dependent steps of the common precursor (ceramide) in the biosynthesis of sphingomyelin and glucosylceramide.

Maturation of the axonal plasma membrane requires upregulation of sphingomyelin synthesis and information of protein-lipid complexes. EMBO J. 18:1999;1761-1771. A fascinating study that shows that the level of sphingomyelin synthesis correlates with 'raft' formation and the subsequent sorting and targeting of a GPI-anchored protein and a ganglioside. The latter two are targeted to the ('apical') axonal plasma membrane during a late developmental stage during neuronal maturation. It can be inferred that sphingomyelin and cholesterol induce raft biogenesis in this case, whereas a role for glycosphingolipids in raft assembly and stability is rather unlikely.
