Function

Oxysterol-binding protein that mediates feedback control of cholesterol synthesis by controlling both endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi transport of SCAP and degradation of HMGCR. Acts as a negative regulator of cholesterol biosynthesis by mediating the retention of the SCAP-SREBP complex in the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby blocking the processing of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) SREBF1/SREBP1 and SREBF2/SREBP2. Binds oxysterol, including 25-hydroxycholesterol, regulating interaction with SCAP and retention of the SCAP-SREBP complex in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in all tissues tested with highest expression in the liver

Function

Oxysterol-binding protein that mediates feedback control of cholesterol synthesis by controlling both endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi transport of SCAP and degradation of HMGCR (PubMed:12202038, PubMed:12535518, PubMed:16168377, PubMed:16399501, PubMed:16606821, PubMed:32322062). Acts as a negative regulator of cholesterol biosynthesis by mediating the retention of the SCAP-SREBP complex in the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby blocking the processing of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) SREBF1/SREBP1 and SREBF2/SREBP2 (PubMed:12202038, PubMed:16399501, PubMed:26311497, PubMed:32322062). Binds oxysterol, including 25-hydroxycholesterol, regulating interaction with SCAP and retention of the SCAP-SREBP complex in the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:32322062). In presence of oxysterol, interacts with SCAP, retaining the SCAP-SREBP complex in the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby preventing SCAP from escorting SREBF1/SREBP1 and SREBF2/SREBP2 to the Golgi (PubMed:15899885, PubMed:32322062). Sterol deprivation or phosphorylation by PCK1 reduce oxysterol-binding, disrupting the interaction between INSIG1 and SCAP, thereby promoting Golgi transport of the SCAP-SREBP complex, followed by processing and nuclear translocation of SREBF1/SREBP1 and SREBF2/SREBP2 (PubMed:26311497, PubMed:32322062). Also regulates cholesterol synthesis by regulating degradation of HMGCR: initiates the sterol-mediated ubiquitin-mediated endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of HMGCR via recruitment of the reductase to the ubiquitin ligases AMFR/gp78 and/or RNF139 (PubMed:12535518, PubMed:16168377, PubMed:22143767). Also regulates degradation of SOAT2/ACAT2 when the lipid levels are low: initiates the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of SOAT2/ACAT2 via recruitment of the ubiquitin ligases AMFR/gp78 (PubMed:28604676)

Subunit

Interacts with SCAP; interaction is direct and only takes place in the presence of sterols; it prevents interaction between SCAP and the coat protein complex II (COPII) (PubMed:15899885, PubMed:32322062). Associates with the SCAP-SREBP complex (composed of SCAP and SREBF1/SREBP1 or SREBF2/SREBP2); association is mediated via its interaction with SCAP and only takes place in the presence of sterols (PubMed:12202038, PubMed:16399501, PubMed:26311497, PubMed:32322062). Interaction with SCAP is mutually exclusive with PAQR3 (PubMed:26311497). Interacts with HMGCR (via its SSD); the interaction, accelerated by sterols, leads to the recruitment of HMGCR to AMFR/gp78 for its ubiquitination by the sterol-mediated ERAD pathway (PubMed:12535518). Interacts with AMFR/gp78 (via its membrane domain); the interaction recruits HMCR at the ER membrane for its ubiquitination and degradation by the sterol-mediated ERAD pathway (PubMed:16168377, PubMed:22143767). Interacts with SOAT2/ACAT2; leading to promote recruitment of AMFR/gp78 and subsequent ubiquitination of SOAT2/ACAT2 (PubMed:28604676). Interacts with RNF139 (PubMed:20068067, PubMed:22143767). Interacts with RNF145 (PubMed:29374057)
