59
Q

Feedback regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis

A

SREBP (sterol response element binding protein), a latent transcription regulator that controls expression of cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes, is initially synthesized as an ER membrane protein. It is anchored in the membrane by interaciton wiht another ER memabre protein, called SCAP (SREBP cleavage activation protein), which binds cholesterol. If the cholesterol binding site on SCAP is empty (at low cholesterol concentrations), SCAP changes conformation and is packaged together with SREBP to free its cytosolic domain form the membrane. The cytosolic domain then moves into the nucleus, where it binds to the promoters of genes that encode proteins involved in cholesterol biosynthesis and activates their transcription. In this way, more cholesterol is made when its concentration falls below a threshold.
