The interaction of an amphiphilic, 40-amino acid beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptide with liposomal membranes as a function of sterol mole fraction (X(sterol)) was studied based on the fluorescence anisotropy of a site-specific membrane sterol probe, dehydroergosterol (DHE), and fluorescence resonance energy

Sterol transport between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) occurs by an ATP-dependent, non-vesicular mechanism that is presumed to require sterol transport proteins (STPs). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, homologs of the mammalian oxysterol-binding protein (Osh1-7) have been proposed to

A new study in this issue (De Saint-Jean et al. 2011. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/jcb.201104062) reveals that the sterol transfer protein Osh4p can also transport the signaling phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P), which binds to the same site in Osh4p as
