J Biol Chem 279 (2004) 45226-45234. The Prinz lab show that transport of sterol from the PM to the ER in yeast requires two ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-transporters in the PM, and that traffic is non-vesicular (independent of NSF/Sec18). This retrograde traffic is inversely correlated with the ability of sterols to form complexes with sphingolipids in the PM.

Transport of newly synthesized sterol to the sterol-enriched plasma membrane occurs via non-vesicular equilibration. Biochemistry 44 (2005) 5816-5826. Menon and colleagues use a sterol export assay to demonstrate highly efficient non-vesicular traffic of ergosterol in yeast, independent of NSF/Sec18. This confirms older observations by Simoni and co-workers in mammalian cells [6], and allows further genetic experiments, showing that sphingolipid (presumably in the plasma membrane) acts as a sink for free sterol, allowing a high total sterol to build up.

Hurley and colleagues solve the structure of an oxysterol binding protein, showing that they all share a hydrophobic pocket that accommodates a single sterol (with little specificity for any particular [oxy-]sterol), suggesting that they are all capable of acting as sterol transfer proteins, and pointing to a transfer mechanism, whereby the lid above the pocket binds to anionic phospholipids before opening to allow sterol exchange.

Also, a detailed study of one homologue (Osh4/Kes1) confirms predictions that this lipid traffic by OSBP homologues is stimulated by interactions with phosphoinositides, presumably in both donor and acceptor membranes.

Mol Biol Cell 17 (2006) 2604-2616. Perry and Ridgway provide a molecular explanation for a previous finding that oxysterols stimulate sphingolipid production. They show that when changes in sterol metabolism induce the translocation of OSBP to the TGN, the ceramide transporter (CERT) also translocates to Golgi membranes, transporting more ceramide to sphingomyelin synthase at that site, as predicted by Hanada [49].

Reconstitution of phosphatidylserine transport from chemically defined donor membranes to phosphatidylserine decarboxylase 2 implicates specific lipid domains in the process. J Biol Chem 279 (2004) 6635-6642. This dissection of phosphatidylserine (PS) traffic in a model system by the Voelker lab shows that Golgi acceptor vesicles need to include both the PS utilising enzyme, which contains a critical C2 domain that binds the headgroups of lipids on donor vesicles, and Sfh4. Among the artificial PS donors used, only those with very high concentrations of PS and phosphatidic acid were active, setting the scene for the next step in which physiological donors are used and the entire inter-organelle lipid traffic machinery is reconstituted.

PACS-2 controls endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria communication and Bid-mediated apoptosis. EMBO J 24 (2005) 717-729. Thomas and co-workers have found that PACS-2 regulates mitochondrial-ER cross-talk, as when PACS-2 is knocked-down, mitochondria fragment and the amount of MAM decreases. The importance of information traffic between the ER and mitochondria is stressed by the finding that upon induction of apoptosis PACS-2 translocates from ER to mitochondria, where it induces apoptosis by recruiting Bid.
