Abstract
The mitochondria-ER-cortex anchor (MECA) forms a tripartite membrane contact site between mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and the plasma membrane (PM). The core component of MECA, Num1, interacts with the PM and mitochondria via two distinct lipid-binding domains; however, the molecular mechanism by which Num1 interacts with the ER is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that Num1 contains a FFAT motif in its C-terminus that interacts with the integral ER membrane protein Scs2. While dispensable for Num1's functions in mitochondrial tethering and dynein anchoring, the FFAT motif is required for Num1's role in promoting mitochondrial division. Unexpectedly, we also reveal a novel function of MECA in regulating the distribution of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI(4)P). Breaking Num1 association with any of the three membranes it tethers results in an accumulation of PI(4)P on the PM, likely via disrupting Sac1-mediated PI(4)P turnover. This work establishes MECA as an important regulatory hub that spatially organizes mitochondria, ER, and PM to coordinate crucial cellular functions.

Abstract
Organelles, substructures in the cytoplasm with specific morphological structures and functions, interact with each other via membrane fusion, membrane transport, and protein interactions, collectively termed organelle interaction. Organelle interaction is a complex biological process involving the interaction and regulation of several organelles, including the interaction between mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum, endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi, mitochondria-lysosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum-peroxisomes. This interaction enables intracellular substance transport, metabolism, and signal transmission, and is closely related to the occurrence, development, and treatment of many diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic diseases. Herein, the mechanisms and regulation of organelle interactions are reviewed, which are critical for understanding basic principles of cell biology and disease development mechanisms. The findings will help to facilitate the development of novel strategies for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment opportunities.

Abstract
Membrane contacts sites (MCSs) play important roles in lipid trafficking across cellular compartments and maintain the widespread structural diversity of organelles. We have utilized microsecond long all-atom (AA) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and enhanced sampling techniques to unravel the MCS structure targeting by yeast oxysterol binding protein (Osh4) in an environment that mimics the interface of membranes with an increased proportion of anionic lipids using CHARMM36m forcefield with additional CUFIX parameters for lipid-protein electrostatic interactions. In a dual-membrane environment, unbiased MD simulations show that Osh4 briefly interacts with both membranes, before aligning itself with a single membrane, adopting a β-crease-bound conformation similar to observations in a single-membrane scenario. Targeted molecular dynamics simulations followed by microsecond-long AA MD simulations have revealed a distinctive dual-membrane bound state of Osh4 at MCS, wherein the protein interacts with the lower membrane via the β-crease surface, featuring its PHE-239 residue positioned below the phosphate plane of membrane, while concurrently establishing contact with the opposite membrane through the extended α6-α7 region. Osh4 maintains these dual membrane contacts simultaneously over the course of microsecond-long MD simulations. Moreover, binding energy calculations highlighted the essential roles played by the phenylalanine loop and the α6 helix in dynamically stabilizing dual-membrane bound state of Osh4 at MCS. Our computational findings were corroborated through frequency of contact analysis, showcasing excellent agreement with past experimental cross-linking data. Our computational study reveals a dual-membrane bound conformation of Osh4, providing insights into protein-membrane interactions at membrane contact sites and their relevance to lipid transfer processes.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PtdIns) are a family of differentially phosphorylated lipid second messengers localized to the cytoplasmic leaflet of both plasma and intracellular membranes. Kinases and phosphatases can selectively modify the PtdIns composition of different cellular compartments, leading to the recruitment of specific binding proteins, which control cellular homeostasis and proliferation. Thus, while PtdIns affect cell growth and survival during interphase, they are also emerging as key drivers in multiple temporally defined membrane remodeling events of mitosis, like cell rounding, spindle orientation, cytokinesis, and abscission. In this review, we summarize and discuss what is known about PtdIns function during mitosis and how alterations in the production and removal of PtdIns can interfere with proper cell division.

Abstract
The integrity of the plasma membrane is critical to cell function and survival. Cells have developed multiple mechanisms to repair damaged plasma membranes. A key process during plasma membrane repair is to limit the size of the damage, which is facilitated by the presence of tetraspanin-enriched rings surrounding damage sites. Here, we identify phosphatidylserine-enriched rings surrounding damaged sites of the plasma membrane, resembling tetraspanin-enriched rings. Importantly, the formation of both the phosphatidylserine- and tetraspanin-enriched rings requires phosphatidylserine and its transfer proteins ORP5 and ORP9. Interestingly, ORP9, but not ORP5, is recruited to the damage sites, suggesting cells acquire phosphatidylserine from multiple sources upon plasma membrane damage. We further demonstrate that ORP9 contributes to efficient plasma membrane repair. Our results thus unveil a role for phosphatidylserine and its transfer proteins in facilitating the formation of tetraspanin-enriched macrodomains and plasma membrane repair.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is the precursor lipid for the minor phosphoinositides (PPIns), which are critical for multiple functions in all eukaryotic cells. It is poorly understood how phosphatidylinositol, which is synthesized in the ER, reaches those membranes where PPIns are formed. Here, we used VT01454, a recently identified inhibitor of class I PI transfer proteins (PITPs), to unravel their roles in lipid metabolism, and solved the structure of inhibitor-bound PITPNA to gain insight into the mode of inhibition. We found that class I PITPs not only distribute PI for PPIns production in various organelles such as the plasma membrane (PM) and late endosomes/lysosomes, but that their inhibition also significantly reduced the levels of phosphatidylserine, di- and triacylglycerols, and other lipids, and caused prominent increases in phosphatidic acid. While VT01454 did not inhibit Golgi PI4P formation nor reduce resting PM PI(4,5)P2 levels, the recovery of the PM pool of PI(4,5)P2 after receptor-mediated hydrolysis required both class I and class II PITPs. Overall, these studies show that class I PITPs differentially regulate phosphoinositide pools and affect the overall cellular lipid landscape.

Abstract
Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is an intracellular degradative pathway in budding yeast cells. Certain lipid types play essential roles in autophagy; yet the precise mechanisms regulating lipid composition during autophagy remain unknown. Here, we explored the role of the Osh family proteins in the modulating lipid composition during autophagy in budding yeast. Our results showed that osh1-osh7∆ deletions lead to autophagic dysfunction, with impaired GFP-Atg8 processing and the absence of autophagosomes and autophagic bodies in the cytosol and vacuole, respectively. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy (EM) revealed elevated phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) levels in cytoplasmic and luminal leaflets of autophagic bodies and vacuolar membranes in all deletion mutants. Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) levels were significantly decreased in the autophagic bodies and vacuolar membranes in osh4∆ and osh5∆ mutants, whereas no significant changes were observed in other osh deletion mutants. Furthermore, we identified defects in autophagic processes in the osh4∆ and osh5∆ mutants, including rare autophagosome formation in the osh5∆ mutant and accumulation of autophagic bodies in the vacuole in the osh4∆ mutant, even in the absence of the proteinase inhibitor PMSF. These findings suggest that Osh4p and Osh5p play crucial roles in the transport of PtdSer to autophagic bodies and autophagosome membranes, respectively. The precise control of lipid composition in the membranes of autophagosomes and autophagic bodies by Osh4p and Osh5p represents an important regulatory mechanism in autophagy.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein-related proteins (ORPs) play key roles in the distribution of lipids in eukaryotic cells by exchanging sterol or phosphatidylserine for PI4P between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other cell regions. However, it is unclear how their exchange capacity is coupled to PI4P metabolism. To address this question quantitatively, we analyze the activity of a representative ORP, Osh4p, in an ER/Golgi interface reconstituted with ER- and Golgi-mimetic membranes functionalized with PI4P phosphatase Sac1p and phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase, respectively. Using real-time assays, we demonstrate that upon adenosine triphosphate (ATP) addition, Osh4p creates a sterol gradient between these membranes, relying on the spatially distant synthesis and hydrolysis of PI4P, and quantify how much PI4P is needed for this process. Then, we develop a quantitatively accurate kinetic model, validated by our data, and extrapolate this to estimate to what extent PI4P metabolism can drive ORP-mediated sterol transfer in cells. Finally, we show that Sec14p can support PI4P metabolism and Osh4p activity by transferring PI between membranes. This study establishes that PI4P synthesis drives ORP-mediated lipid exchange and that ATP energy is needed to generate intermembrane lipid gradients. Furthermore, it defines to what extent ORPs can distribute lipids in the cell and reassesses the role of PI-transfer proteins in PI4P metabolism.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is composed of a continuous network of tubules and sheets, forms the most widely distributed membrane system in eukaryotic cells. As a result, it engages a variety of organelles by establishing membrane contact sites (MCSs). These contacts regulate organelle positioning and remodeling, including fusion and fission, facilitate precise lipid exchange, and couple vital signaling events. Here, we systematically review recent advances and converging themes on ER-involved organellar contact. The molecular basis, cellular influence, and potential physiological functions for ER/nuclear envelope contacts with mitochondria, Golgi, endosomes, lysosomes, lipid droplets, autophagosomes, and plasma membrane are summarized.

Abstract
The lipid phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) plays a master regulatory role at Golgi membranes, orchestrating membrane budding, non-vesicular lipid transport and membrane organization. It follows that harmonious Golgi function requires strictly maintained PI4P homeostasis. One of the most abundant PI4P effector proteins is the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP), a lipid transfer protein that exchanges trans Golgi PI4P for ER cholesterol. Although this protein consumes PI4P as part of its lipid anti-porter function, whether it actively contributes to Golgi PI4P homeostasis has been questioned. Here, we employed a series of acute and chronic genetic manipulations, together with orthogonal targeting of OSBP, to interrogate its control over Golgi PI4P abundance. Modulating OSBP levels at ER:Golgi membrane contact sites produces reciprocal changes in PI4P levels. Additionally, we observe that OSBP has a high capacity for PI4P turnover, even at orthogonal organelle membranes. However, despite also visiting the plasma membrane, endogenous OSBP makes no impact on PI4P levels in this compartment. We conclude that OSBP is a major determinant of Golgi PI4P homeostasis.

KRAS is a small GTPase, ubiquitously expressed in mammalian cells, that functions as a molecular switch to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. Oncogenic mutations that render KRAS constitutively active occur frequently in human cancers. KRAS must localize to the plasma membrane (PM) for biological activity. KRAS PM binding is mediated by interactions of the KRAS membrane anchor with phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), therefore, depleting PM PtdSer content abrogates KRAS PM binding and oncogenic function. From a genome-wide siRNA screen to search for genes that regulate KRAS PM localization, we identified a set of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-phosphatase family members: myotubularin-related (MTMR) proteins 2, 3, 4 and 7. Here we show that knockdown of MTMR 2/3/4/7 expression disrupts KRAS PM interactions. The molecular mechanism involves depletion of PM PI 4-phosphate (PI4P) levels, which in turn disrupts the subcellular localization and operation of oxysterol-binding protein related protein (ORP) 5, a PtdSer lipid transfer protein that maintains PM PtdSer content. Concomitantly, silencing MTMR 2/3/4/7 expression elevates PM levels of PI3P and reduces PM and total cellular levels of PtdSer. In summary we propose that the PI 3-phosphatase activity provided by MTMR proteins is required to generate PM PI for the synthesis of PM PI4P, which in turn, promotes the PM localization of PtdSer and KRAS.

Abstract
The view of organelles and how they operate together has changed dramatically over the last two decades. The textbook view of organelles was that they operated largely independently and were connected by vesicular trafficking and the diffusion of signals through the cytoplasm. We now know that all organelles make functional close contacts with one another, often called membrane contact sites. The study of these sites has moved to center stage in cell biology as it has become clear that they play critical roles in healthy and developing cells and during cell stress and disease states. Contact sites have important roles in intracellular signaling, lipid metabolism, motor-protein-mediated membrane dynamics, organelle division, and organelle biogenesis. Here, we summarize the major conceptual changes that have occurred in cell biology as we have come to appreciate how contact sites integrate the activities of organelles.

Abstract
Oxysterol binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs) 5 and 8 have been shown to deplete the lipid phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) at sites of membrane contact between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM). This is believed to be caused by transport of PI4P from the PM to the ER, where PI4P is degraded by an ER-localized SAC1 phosphatase. This is proposed to power the anti-port of phosphatidylserine (PS) lipids from ER to PM, up their concentration gradient. Alternatively, ORPs have been proposed to sequester PI4P, dependent on the concentration of their alternative lipid ligand. Here, we aimed to distinguish these possibilities in living cells by orthogonal targeting of PI4P transfer and degradation to PM-mitochondria contact sites. Surprisingly, we found that orthogonal targeting of SAC1 to mitochondria enhanced PM PI4P turnover independent of targeting to contact sites with the PM. This turnover could be slowed by knock-down of soluble ORP2, which also has a major impact on PM PI4P levels even without SAC1 over-expression. The data reveal a role for contact site-independent modulation of PM PI4P levels and lipid antiport.

Abstract
The lipid phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) plays a master regulatory role at Golgi membranes, orchestrating membrane budding, non-vesicular lipid transport and membrane organization. It follows that harmonious Golgi function requires strictly maintained PI4P homeostasis. One of the most abundant PI4P effector proteins is the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP), a lipid transfer protein that exchanges trans-Golgi PI4P for ER cholesterol. Although this protein consumes PI4P as part of its lipid anti-porter function, whether it actively contributes to Golgi PI4P homeostasis has been questioned. Here, we employed a series of acute and chronic genetic manipulations, together with orthogonal targeting of OSBP, to interrogate its control over Golgi PI4P abundance. Modulating OSBP levels at ER:Golgi membrane contact sites produces reciprocal changes in PI4P levels. Additionally, we observe that OSBP has a high capacity for PI4P turnover, even at orthogonal organelle membranes. However, despite also visiting the plasma membrane, endogenous OSBP makes no impact on PI4P levels in this compartment. We conclude that OSBP is a major determinant of Golgi PI4P homeostasis.

Abstract
Lipid biosensors are molecular tools used both in vivo and in vitro applications, capable of selectively detecting specific types of lipids in biological membranes. However, despite their extensive use, there is a lack of systematic characterization of their binding properties in various membrane conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of membrane properties, such as fluidity and membrane charge, on the sensitivity of two lipid biosensors, LactC2 and P4M, to their target lipids, phosphatidylserine (PS) or phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), respectively. Dual-color fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy, employed in this study, provided a useful technique to investigate interactions of these recombinant fluorescent biosensors with liposomes of varying compositions. The results of the study demonstrate that the binding of the LactC2 biosensor to low levels of PS in the membrane is highly supported by the presence of anionic lipids or membrane fluidity. However, at high PS levels, the presence of anionic lipids does not further enhance binding of LactC2. In contrast, neither membrane charge, nor membrane fluidity significantly affect the binding affinity of P4M to PI4P. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of membrane properties on the binding properties of lipid biosensors.

Abstract
The type III Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha (PI4KA) is an essential lipid kinase that is a master regulator of phosphoinositide signalling at the plasma membrane (PM). It produces the predominant pool of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) at the PM, with this being essential in lipid transport and in regulating the PLC and PI3K signalling pathways. PI4KA is essential and is highly conserved in all eukaryotes. In yeast, the PI4KA ortholog stt4 predominantly exists as a heterodimer with its regulatory partner ypp1. In higher eukaryotes, PI4KA instead primarily forms a heterotrimer with a TTC7 subunit (ortholog of ypp1) and a FAM126 subunit. In all eukaryotes PI4KA is recruited to the plasma membrane by the protein EFR3, which does not directly bind PI4KA, but instead binds to the TTC7/ypp1 regulatory partner. Misregulation in PI4KA or its regulatory partners is involved in myriad human diseases, including loss of function mutations in neurodevelopmental and inflammatory intestinal disorders and gain of function in human cancers. This review describes an in-depth analysis of the structure function of PI4KA and its regulatory partners, with a major focus on comparing and contrasting the differences in regulation of PI4KA throughout evolution.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are important structural components of membranes. Additionally, simple sphingolipids such as sphingosine are highly bioactive and participate in complex subcellular signaling. Sphingolipid deregulation is associated with many severe diseases including diabetes, Parkinson's and cancer. Here, we focus on how sphingosine, generated from sphingolipid catabolism in late endosomes/lysosomes, is reintegrated into the biosynthetic machinery at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We characterized the sterol transporter STARD3 as a sphingosine transporter acting at lysosome-ER contact sites. Experiments featuring crosslinkable sphingosine probes, supported by unbiased molecular dynamics simulations, exposed how sphingosine binds to the lipid-binding domain of STARD3. Following the metabolic fate of pre-localized lysosomal sphingosine showed the importance of STARD3 and its actions at contact sites for the integration of sphingosine into ceramide in a cellular context. Our findings provide the first example of interorganellar sphingosine transfer and pave the way for a better understanding of sphingolipid - sterol co-regulation.

Abstract
In budding yeast cells, much of the inner surface of the plasma membrane (PM) is covered with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This association is mediated by seven ER membrane proteins that confer cortical ER-PM association at membrane contact sites (MCSs). Several of these membrane "tether" proteins are known to physically interact with the phosphoinositide phosphatase Sac1p. However, it is unclear how or if these interactions are necessary for their interdependent functions. We find that SAC1 inactivation in cells lacking the homologous synaptojanin-like genes INP52 and INP53 results in a significant increase in cortical ER-PM MCSs. We show in sac1Δ, sac1tsinp52Δ inp53Δ, or Δ-super-tether (Δ-s-tether) cells lacking all seven ER-PM tethering genes that phospholipid biosynthesis is disrupted and phosphoinositide distribution is altered. Furthermore, SAC1 deletion in Δ-s-tether cells results in lethality, indicating a functional overlap between SAC1 and ER-PM tethering genes. Transcriptomic profiling indicates that SAC1 inactivation in either Δ-s-tether or inp52Δ inp53Δ cells induces an ER membrane stress response and elicits phosphoinositide-dependent changes in expression of autophagy genes. In addition, by isolating high-copy suppressors that rescue sac1Δ Δ-s-tether lethality, we find that key phospholipid biosynthesis genes bypass the overlapping function of SAC1 and ER-PM tethers and that overexpression of the phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate transfer protein Osh6 also provides limited suppression. Combined with lipidomic analysis and determinations of intracellular phospholipid distributions, these results suggest that Sac1p and ER phospholipid flux controls lipid distribution to drive Osh6p-dependent phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate counter-exchange at ER-PM MCSs.

Abstract
Studies of rare human genetic disorders of mitochondrial phospholipid metabolism have highlighted the crucial role that membrane phospholipids play in mitochondrial bioenergetics and human health. The phospholipid composition of mitochondrial membranes is highly conserved from yeast to humans, with each class of phospholipid performing a specific function in the assembly and activity of various mitochondrial membrane proteins, including the oxidative phosphorylation complexes. Recent studies have uncovered novel roles of cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine, two crucial mitochondrial phospholipids, in organismal physiology. Studies on inter-organellar and intramitochondrial phospholipid transport have significantly advanced our understanding of the mechanisms that maintain mitochondrial phospholipid homeostasis. Here, we discuss these recent advances in the function and transport of mitochondrial phospholipids while describing their biochemical and biophysical properties and biosynthetic pathways. Additionally, we highlight the roles of mitochondrial phospholipids in human health by describing the various genetic diseases caused by disruptions in their biosynthesis and discuss advances in therapeutic strategies for Barth syndrome, the best-studied disorder of mitochondrial phospholipid metabolism.

Abstract
Lysosomes are essential catabolic organelles with an acidic lumen and dozens of hydrolytic enzymes. The detrimental consequences of lysosomal leakage have been well known since lysosomes were discovered during the 1950s. However, detailed knowledge of lysosomal quality control mechanisms has only emerged relatively recently. It is now clear that lysosomal leakage triggers multiple lysosomal quality control pathways that replace, remove, or directly repair damaged lysosomes. Here, we review how lysosomal damage is sensed and resolved in mammalian cells, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying different lysosomal quality control pathways. We also discuss the clinical implications and therapeutic potential of these pathways.

Abstract
Lipid distribution in the eukaryotic cells depends on tight couplings between lipid transfer and lipid metabolism. Yet these couplings remain poorly described. Notably, it is unclear to what extent lipid exchangers of the OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) family, coupled to PI(4)P metabolism, contribute to the formation of sterol and phosphatidylserine gradient between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other cell regions. To address this question, we have examined in vitro the activity of Osh4p, a representative ORP, between Golgi mimetic membranes in which PI(4)P is produced by a PI 4-kinase and ER mimetic membranes in which PI(4)P is hydrolyzed by the phosphatase Sac1p. Using quantitative, real-time assays, we demonstrate that Osh4p creates a sterol gradient between the two membranes by sterol/PI(4)P exchange as soon as a PI(4)P gradient is generated at this interface following ATP addition, and define how much PI(4)P must be synthesized for this process. Then, using a kinetic model supported by our in vitro data, we estimate to what extent PI(4)P metabolism can drive lipid transfer in cells. Finally, we show that Sec14p, by transferring phosphatidylinositol between membranes, can support the synthesis of PI(4)P and the creation of a sterol gradient by Osh4p. These results indicate to what extent ORPs, under the control of PI(4)P metabolism, can distribute lipids in the cell.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a negatively charged glycerophospholipid found mainly in the plasma membrane (PM) and in the late secretory/endocytic compartments, where it regulates cellular activity and can mediate apoptosis. Export of PS from the endoplasmic reticulum, its site of synthesis, to other compartments, and its transbilayer asymmetry must therefore be precisely regulated. We review recent findings on nonvesicular transport of PS by lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) at membrane contact sites, on PS flip-flop between membrane leaflets by flippases and scramblases, and on PS nanoclustering at the PM. We also discuss emerging data on cooperation between scramblases and LTPs, how perturbation of PS distribution can lead to disease, and the specific role of PS in viral infection.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are areas of close proximity between organelles, implicated in transport of small molecules and in organelle biogenesis. Lipid transfer proteins at MCSs facilitate the distribution of lipid species between organelle membranes. Such exchange processes rely on the apposition of two different membranes delimiting distinct compartments and a cytosolic intermembrane space. Maintaining organelle identity while transferring molecules therefore implies control over MCS architecture both on the ultrastructural and molecular levels. Factors including intermembrane distance, density of resident proteins, and contact surface area fine-tune MCS function. Furthermore, the structural arrangement of lipid transfer proteins and associated proteins underpins the molecular mechanisms of lipid fluxes at MCSs. Thus, the architecture of MCSs emerges as an essential aspect of their function.

Abstract
ORPs are lipid-transport proteins belonging to the oxysterol-binding protein family. They facilitate the transfer of lipids between different intracellular membranes, such as the ER and plasma membrane. We have solved the crystal structure of the ORP8 lipid transport domain (ORD8). The ORD8 exhibited a β-barrel fold composed of anti-parallel β-strands, with three α-helices replacing β-strands on one side. This mixed alpha-beta structure was consistent with previously solved structures of ORP2 and ORP3. A large cavity (≈1860 Å3) within the barrel was identified as the lipid-binding site. Although we were not able to obtain a lipid-bound structure, we used computer simulations based on our crystal structure to dock PS and PI4P molecules into the putative lipid-binding site of the ORD8. Comparative experiments between the short ORD8ΔLid (used for crystallography) and the full-length ORD8 (lid containing) revealed the lid's importance for stable lipid binding. Fluorescence assays revealed different transport efficiencies for PS and PI4P, with the lid slowing down transport and stabilizing cargo. Coarse-grained simulations highlighted surface-exposed regions and hydrophobic interactions facilitating lipid bilayer insertion. These findings enhance our comprehension of ORD8, its structure, and lipid transport mechanisms, as well as provide a structural basis for the design of potential inhibitors.

Abstract
Lipids are essential cellular components forming membranes, serving as energy reserves, and acting as chemical messengers. Dysfunction in lipid metabolism and signaling is associated with a wide range of diseases including cancer and autoimmunity. Heterogeneity in cell behavior including lipid signaling is increasingly recognized as a driver of disease and drug resistance. This diversity in cellular responses as well as the roles of lipids in health and disease drive the need to quantify lipids within single cells. Single-cell lipid assays are challenging due to the small size of cells (∼1 pL) and the large numbers of lipid species present at concentrations spanning orders of magnitude. A growing number of methodologies enable assay of large numbers of lipid analytes, perform high-resolution spatial measurements, or permit highly sensitive lipid assays in single cells. Covered in this review are mass spectrometry, Raman imaging, and fluorescence-based assays including microscopy and microseparations.

Abstract
VAP-A is a major endoplasmic reticulum (ER) receptor that allows this organelle to engage numerous membrane contact sites with other organelles. One highly studied example is the formation of contact sites through VAP-A interaction with Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP). This lipid transfer protein transports cholesterol from the ER to the trans-Golgi network owing to the counter-exchange of the phosphoinositide PI(4)P. In this review, we highlight recent studies that advance our understanding of the OSBP cycle and extend the model of lipid exchange to other cellular contexts and other physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites (ER-PM MCS) are a specialised domain involved in the control of Ca2+ dynamics and various Ca2+-dependent cellular processes. Intracellular Ca2+ signals are broadly supported by Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ channels such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and subsequent store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) across the PM to replenish store content. IP3Rs sit in close proximity to the PM where they can easily access newly synthesised IP3, interact with binding partners such as actin, and localise adjacent to ER-PM MCS populated by the SOCE machinery, STIM1-2 and Orai1-3, to possibly form a locally regulated unit of Ca2+ influx. PtdIns(4,5)P2 is a multiplex regulator of Ca2+ signalling at the ER-PM MCS interacting with multiple proteins at these junctions such as actin and STIM1, whilst also being consumed as a substrate for phospholipase C to produce IP3 in response to extracellular stimuli. In this review, we consider the mechanisms regulating the synthesis and turnover of PtdIns(4,5)P2 via the phosphoinositide cycle and its significance for sustained signalling at the ER-PM MCS. Furthermore, we highlight recent insights into the role of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the spatiotemporal organization of signalling at ER-PM junctions and raise outstanding questions on how this multi-faceted regulation occurs.

Abstract
Vesicular trafficking and membrane fusion are well-characterized, versatile, and sophisticated means of 'long range' intracellular protein and lipid delivery. Membrane contact sites (MCS) have been studied in far less detail, but are crucial for 'short range' (10-30 nm) communication between organelles, as well as between pathogen vacuoles and organelles. MCS are specialized in the non-vesicular trafficking of small molecules such as calcium and lipids. Pivotal MCS components important for lipid transfer are the VAP receptor/tether protein, oxysterol binding proteins (OSBPs), the ceramide transport protein CERT, the phosphoinositide phosphatase Sac1, and the lipid phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P). In this review, we discuss how these MCS components are subverted by bacterial pathogens and their secreted effector proteins to promote intracellular survival and replication.

Abstract
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is an endomembrane system that plays a multiplicity of roles in cell physiology and populates even the most distal cell compartments, including dendritic tips and axon terminals of neurons. Some of its functions are achieved by a cross talk with other intracellular membranous organelles and with the plasma membrane at membrane contacts sites (MCSs). As the ER synthesizes most membrane lipids, lipid exchanges mediated by lipid transfer proteins at MCSs are a particularly important aspect of this cross talk, which synergizes with the cross talk mediated by vesicular transport. Several mutations of genes that encode proteins localized at ER MCSs result in familial neurodegenerative diseases, emphasizing the importance of the normal lipid traffic within cells for a healthy brain. Here, we provide an overview of such diseases, with a specific focus on proteins that directly or indirectly impact lipid transport.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxathiapiprolin, an oxysterol-binding protein inhibitor (OSBPI), shows unexceptionable inhibitory activity against plant pathogenic oomycetes. FRAC (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee) classifies it into the mode of action group F9 (lipid homeostasis and transfer/storage), but very little is known about the lipid metabolism of oomycete pathogens when subjected to oxathiapiprolin. RESULTS In this study, seven lipid categories and 1435 lipid molecules were identified in Phytophthora sojae, among which glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, and sphingolipids account for 30.10%, 50.59%, and 7.28%, respectively. These lipids were categorized into 31 subclasses, which varied to different extents when treated with oxathiapiprolin. A total of 11 lipid subclasses showed significant changes. Among them, 10 lipid subclasses, lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), ceramide (Cer), triglyceride (TG), (o-acyl)-1-hydroxy fatty acid, diglycosylceramide, sphingoshine (So), and sitosterol ester, were significantly up-regulated, while digalactosyldiacylglycerol was the only lipid that was significantly down-regulated by a factor of almost three. These lipid molecules were further analyzed at the lipid species level. A total of 542 species were significantly altered when treated with oxathiapiprolin, including 212 glycerolipids [186 TG and 26 diglycerides (DG)], 167 glycerophospholipids (38 PC, 15 LPC, 19 LPE, seven PS, etc.), 156 sphingolipids (146 Cer, four So, etc.), and some other lipid molecules. Finally, from the orthogonal partial least-squares discrimination analysis model, variable importance for the projection score analysis showed that Cer, TG, and some glycerophospholipids contribute to the metabolic disorder when subjected to oxathiapiprolin. CONCLUSION Glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, and sphingolipids in P. sojae undergo significant changes with oxathiapiprolin treatment. These results provided valuable information for further understanding the function of the target protein and the mode of action of OSBPIs in oomycetes. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Legionella pneumophila replicates in macrophages and amoeba within a unique compartment, the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). Hallmarks of LCV formation are the phosphoinositide lipid conversion from PtdIns(3)P to PtdIns(4)P, fusion with ER-derived vesicles and a tight association with the ER. Proteomics of purified LCVs indicate the presence of membrane contact sites (MCS) proteins possibly implicated in lipid exchange. Using dually fluorescence-labeled Dictyostelium discoideum amoeba, we reveal that VAMP-associated protein (Vap) and the PtdIns(4)P 4-phosphatase Sac1 localize to the ER, and Vap also localizes to the LCV membrane. Furthermore, Vap as well as Sac1 promote intracellular replication of L. pneumophila and LCV remodeling. Oxysterol binding proteins (OSBPs) preferentially localize to the ER (OSBP8) or the LCV membrane (OSBP11), respectively, and restrict (OSBP8) or promote (OSBP11) bacterial replication and LCV expansion. The sterol probes GFP-D4H* and filipin indicate that sterols are rapidly depleted from LCVs, while PtdIns(4)P accumulates. In addition to Sac1, the PtdIns(4)P-subverting L. pneumophila effector proteins LepB and SidC also support LCV remodeling. Taken together, the Legionella- and host cell-driven PtdIns(4)P gradient at LCV-ER MCSs promotes Vap-, OSBP- and Sac1-dependent pathogen vacuole maturation.

Abstract
Lipid phosphoinositides are master signaling molecules in eukaryotic cells and key markers of organelle identity. Because of these important roles, the kinases and phosphatases that generate phosphoinositides must be tightly regulated. Viruses can manipulate this regulation, with the Type III phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4KA and PI4KB) being hijacked by many RNA viruses to mediate their intracellular replication through the formation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P)-enriched replication organelles (ROs). Different viruses have evolved unique approaches toward activating PI4K enzymes to form ROs, through both direct binding of PI4Ks and modulation of PI4K accessory proteins. This review will focus on PI4KA and PI4KB and discuss their roles in signaling, functions in membrane trafficking and manipulation by viruses. Our focus will be the molecular basis for how PI4KA and PI4KB are activated by both protein-binding partners and post-translational modifications, with an emphasis on understanding the different molecular mechanisms viruses have evolved to usurp PI4Ks. We will also discuss the chemical tools available to study the role of PI4Ks in viral infection.

Abstract
Phospholipids are lipids that constitute the basic structure of cell membranes. In-depth research has shown that in addition to supporting cell structures, phospholipids participate in multiple cellular processes, including promoting cell signal transduction, guiding protein translocation, activating enzymatic activity, and eliminating dysfunctional/redundant organelles/cells. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with a complicated etiology and pathology. Studies have shown that the level of certain phospholipids, for example, the ratio of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in liver tissue, is negatively associated with insulin sensitivity. In addition, PS is a phospholipid exhibiting extensive cellular functions in diabetes. For this review, we analyzed many PS studies focusing on diabetes and insulin sensitivity in recent years and found that PS participates in controlling insulin secretion, regulating insulin signaling transduction, and participating in the progression of diabetic complications by mediating coagulation disorders in the microvasculature or targeting mitochondria. Moreover, PS supplements in food and PS-containing liposomes have been shown to protect against type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D, respectively) in animal studies. Therefore, by summarizing the regulatory roles played by PS in diabetes and the potential of successfully using PS or PS-containing liposomes for diabetic therapy, we hope to provide new ideas for further research into the mechanisms of diabetes and for drug development for treating diabetes and its complications.

Abstract
Cells maintain the specific lipid composition of distinct organelles by vesicular transport as well as non-vesicular lipid trafficking via lipid transport proteins. Oxysterol-binding proteins (OSBPs) are a family of lipid transport proteins that transfer lipids at various membrane contact sites (MCSs). OSBPs have been extensively investigated in human and yeast cells where 12 have been identified in Homo sapiens and 7 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The evolutionary relationship between these well-characterized OSBPs is still unclear. By reconstructing phylogenies of eukaryote OSBPs, we show that the ancestral Saccharomycotina had four OSBPs, the ancestral fungus had five OSBPs, and the ancestral animal had six OSBPs, whereas the shared ancestor of animals and fungi as well as the ancestral eukaryote had only three OSBPs. Our analyses identified three undescribed ancient OSBP orthologues, one fungal OSBP (Osh8) lost in the lineage leading to yeast, one animal OSBP (ORP12) lost in the lineage leading to vertebrates, and one eukaryotic OSBP (OshEu) lost in both the animal and fungal lineages.

Abstract
Lipid transport proteins at membrane contacts, where organelles are closely apposed, are critical in redistributing lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they are made, to other cellular membranes. Such protein-mediated transfer is especially important for maintaining organelles disconnected from secretory pathways, like mitochondria. We identify mitoguardin-2, a mitochondrial protein at contacts with the ER and/or lipid droplets (LDs), as a lipid transporter. An x-ray structure shows that the C-terminal domain of mitoguardin-2 has a hydrophobic cavity that binds lipids. Mass spectrometry analysis reveals that both glycerophospholipids and free-fatty acids co-purify with mitoguardin-2 from cells, and that each mitoguardin-2 can accommodate up to two lipids. Mitoguardin-2 transfers glycerophospholipids between membranes in vitro, and this transport ability is required for roles both in mitochondrial and LD biology. While it is not established that protein-mediated transfer at contacts plays a role in LD metabolism, our findings raise the possibility that mitoguardin-2 functions in transporting fatty acids and glycerophospholipids at mitochondria-LD contacts.

Cholesterol transfer via endoplasmic reticulum contacts mediates lysosome damage repair. EMBO J 2022; 41:e112677.

Abstract
Lysosome integrity is essential for cell viability, and lesions in lysosome membranes are repaired by the ESCRT machinery. Here, we describe an additional mechanism for lysosome repair that is activated independently of ESCRT recruitment. Lipidomic analyses showed increases in lysosomal phosphatidylserine and cholesterol after damage. Electron microscopy demonstrated that lysosomal membrane damage is rapidly followed by the formation of contacts with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which depends on the ER proteins VAPA/B. The cholesterol-binding protein ORP1L was recruited to damaged lysosomes, accompanied by cholesterol accumulation by a mechanism that required VAP-ORP1L interactions. The PtdIns 4-kinase PI4K2A rapidly produced PtdIns4P on lysosomes upon damage, and knockout of PI4K2A inhibited damage-induced accumulation of ORP1L and cholesterol and led to the failure of lysosomal membrane repair. The cholesterol-PtdIns4P transporter OSBP was also recruited upon damage, and its depletion caused lysosomal accumulation of PtdIns4P and resulted in cell death. We conclude that ER contacts are activated on damaged lysosomes in parallel to ESCRTs to provide lipids for membrane repair, and that PtdIns4P generation and removal are central in this response.

Creating and sensing asymmetric lipid distributions throughout the cell. Emerg Top Life Sci 2022; 7:7-19.

Abstract
A key feature of eukaryotic cells is the asymmetric distribution of lipids along their secretory pathway. Because of the biological significance of these asymmetries, it is crucial to define the mechanisms which create them. Extensive studies have led to the identification of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) that work with lipid-synthesizing enzymes to carry lipids between two distinct membranes in a directional manner, and are thus able to create asymmetries in lipid distribution throughout the cell. These networks are often in contact sites where two organelle membranes are in close proximity for reasons we have only recently started to understand. A question is whether these networks transfer lipids en masse within the cells or adjust the lipid composition of organelle membranes. Finally, recent data have confirmed that some networks organized around LTPs do not generate lipid asymmetries between membranes but sense them and rectify the lipid content of the cell.

Abstract
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) transfer lipids between different organelles, and thus play key roles in lipid homeostasis and organelle dynamics. The lipid transfer often occurs at the membrane contact sites (MCS) where two membranes are held within 10-30 nm. While most LTPs act as a shuttle to transfer lipids, recent experiments reveal a new category of eukaryotic LTPs that may serve as a bridge to transport lipids in bulk at MCSs. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid transfer and MCS formation are not well understood. Here, we first review two recent studies of extended synaptotagmin (E-Syt)-mediated membrane binding and lipid transfer using novel approaches. Then we describe mathematical models to quantify the kinetics of lipid transfer by shuttle LTPs based on a lipid exchange mechanism. We find that simple lipid mixing among membranes of similar composition and/or lipid partitioning among membranes of distinct composition can explain lipid transfer against a concentration gradient widely observed for LTPs. We predict that selective transport of lipids, but not membrane proteins, by bridge LTPs leads to osmotic membrane tension by analogy to the osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane. A gradient of such tension and the conventional membrane tension may drive bulk lipid flow through bridge LTPs at a speed consistent with the fast membrane expansion observed in vivo. Finally, we discuss the implications of membrane tension and lipid transfer in organelle biogenesis. Overall, the quantitative models may help clarify the mechanisms of LTP-mediated MCS formation and lipid transfer.

Abstract
Lysosomal dysfunction has been increasingly linked to disease and normal ageing1,2. Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), a hallmark of lysosome-related diseases, can be triggered by diverse cellular stressors3. Given the damaging contents of lysosomes, LMP must be rapidly resolved, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, using an unbiased proteomic approach, we show that LMP stimulates a phosphoinositide-initiated membrane tethering and lipid transport (PITT) pathway for rapid lysosomal repair. Upon LMP, phosphatidylinositol-4 kinase type 2α (PI4K2A) accumulates rapidly on damaged lysosomes, generating high levels of the lipid messenger phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate. Lysosomal phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate in turn recruits multiple oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related protein (ORP) family members, including ORP9, ORP10, ORP11 and OSBP, to orchestrate extensive new membrane contact sites between damaged lysosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum. The ORPs subsequently catalyse robust endoplasmic reticulum-to-lysosome transfer of phosphatidylserine and cholesterol to support rapid lysosomal repair. Finally, the lipid transfer protein ATG2 is also recruited to damaged lysosomes where its activity is potently stimulated by phosphatidylserine. Independent of macroautophagy, ATG2 mediates rapid membrane repair through direct lysosomal lipid transfer. Together, our findings identify that the PITT pathway maintains lysosomal membrane integrity, with important implications for numerous age-related diseases characterized by impaired lysosomal function.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria contact site (ERMCS) is crucial for exchanging biological molecules such as phospholipids and Ca2+ ions between these organelles. Mitoguardin-2 (MIGA2), a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, forms the ERMCS in higher eukaryotic cells. Here, we report the crystal structures of the MIGA2 Lipid Droplet (LD) targeting domain and the ER membrane protein VAPB bound to the phosphorylated FFAT motif of MIGA2. These structures reveal that the MIGA2 LD targeting domain has a large internal hydrophobic pocket that accommodates phospholipids and that two phosphorylations of the FFAT motif are required for tight interaction of MIGA2 with VAPB, which enhances the rate of lipid transport. Further biochemical studies show that MIGA2 transports phospholipids between membranes with a strong preference for binding and trafficking phosphatidylserine (PS). These results provide a structural and molecular basis for understanding how MIGA2 mediates the formation of ERMCS and facilitates lipid trafficking at the ERMCS. The ER-mitochondria contact sites are crucial for exchanging phospholipids. Here, Kim et al. present crystal structures of mitoguardin-2 (MIGA2) which reveal that MIGA2 directly binds phospholipids and transfers them between the ER and mitochondria.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), which transports cholesterol and phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate (PtdIns[4]P) between different organelles, serves as a conserved host factor for the replication of various viruses, and OSBP inhibitors exhibit antiviral effects. Here, we determined the crystal structure of the lipid transfer domain of human OSBP in complex with endogenous cholesterol. The hydrocarbon tail and tetracyclic ring of cholesterol interact with the hydrophobic tunnel of OSBP, and the hydroxyl group of cholesterol forms a hydrogen bond network at the bottom of the tunnel. Systematic mutagenesis of the ligand-binding region revealed that M446W and L590W substitutions confer functional tolerance to an OSBP inhibitor, T-00127-HEV2. Employing the M446W variant as a functional replacement for the endogenous OSBP in the presence of T-00127-HEV2, we have identified previously unappreciated amino acid residues required for viral replication. The combined use of the inhibitor and the OSBP variant will be useful in elucidating the enigmatic in vivo functions of OSBP.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol lipids regulate key processes, including vesicle trafficking and cell polarity. A recent study identified novel roles for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) in the plasma membrane of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans, including polarized hyphal growth and cell wall organization. Studies in other organisms were not able to separate the roles of PI4P in the plasma membrane and Golgi, but the C. albicans plasma membrane pool of PI4P could be selectively eliminated by deleting the STT4 kinase, which creates PI4P. Interestingly, stt4Δ mutants were strongly defective in disseminated candidiasis in mice but were not defective in an oral infection. This suggested that abnormal exposure of β-glucan in the mutant cell walls increased recruitment of innate immune cells during disseminated infection, which is not expected to impact oral infection. These results highlight novel roles of PI4P and reinforce the need to test the virulence of C. albicans mutants at different host sites.

Abstract
The evolutionarily conserved extended synaptotagmin (E-Syt) proteins are calcium-activated lipid transfer proteins that function at contacts between the ER and plasma membrane (ER-PM contacts). However, roles of the E-Syt family members in PM lipid organisation remain incomplete. Among the E-Syt family, the yeast tricalbin (Tcb) proteins are essential for PM integrity upon heat stress, but it is not known how they contribute to PM maintenance. Using quantitative lipidomics and microscopy, we find that the Tcb proteins regulate phosphatidylserine homeostasis at the PM. Moreover, upon heat-induced membrane stress, Tcb3 co-localises with the PM protein Sfk1 that is implicated in PM phospholipid asymmetry and integrity. The Tcb proteins also control the PM targeting of the known phosphatidylserine effector Pkc1 upon heat-induced stress. Phosphatidylserine has evolutionarily conserved roles in PM organisation, integrity, and repair. We propose that phospholipid regulation is an ancient essential function of E-Syt family members required for PM integrity.

Abstract
In yeast, at least seven proteins (Ice2p, Ist2p, Scs2/22p, Tcb1-Tcb3p) affect cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) tethering and contact with the plasma membrane (PM). In Δ-super-tether (Δ-s-tether) cells that lack these tethers, cortical ER-PM association is all but gone. Yeast OSBP homologue (Osh) proteins are also implicated in membrane contact site (MCS) assembly, perhaps as subunits for multicomponent tethers, though their function at MCSs involves intermembrane lipid transfer. Paradoxically, when analyzed by fluorescence and electron microscopy, the elimination of the OSH gene family does not reduce cortical ER-PM association but dramatically increases it. In response to the inactivation of all Osh proteins, the yeast E-Syt (extended-synaptotagmin) homologue Tcb3p is post-transcriptionally upregulated thereby generating additional Tcb3p-dependent ER-PM MCSs for recruiting more cortical ER to the PM. Although the elimination of OSH genes and the deletion of ER-PM tether genes have divergent effects on cortical ER-PM association, both elicit the Environmental Stress Response (ESR). Through comparisons of transcriptomic profiles of cells lacking OSH genes or ER-PM tethers, changes in ESR expression are partially manifested through the induction of the HOG (high-osmolarity glycerol) PM stress pathway or the ER-specific UPR (unfolded protein response) pathway, respectively. Defects in either UPR or HOG pathways also increase ER-PM MCSs, and expression of extra “artificial ER-PM membrane staples” rescues growth of UPR mutants challenged with lethal ER stress. Transcriptome analysis of OSH and Δ-s-tether mutants also revealed dysregulation of inositol-dependent phospholipid gene expression, and the combined lethality of osh4Δ and Δ-s-tether mutations is suppressed by overexpression of the phosphatidic acid biosynthetic gene, DGK1. These findings establish that the Tcb3p tether is induced by ER and PM stresses and ER-PM MCSs augment responses to membrane stresses, which are integrated through the broader ESR pathway. Membrane contact sites (MCSs) between the two largest cellular membranes, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM), are regulatory interfaces for lipid synthesis and bidirectional transport. The yeast Osh protein family, which represents the seven yeast oxysterol-binding protein related proteins (ORPs), is implicated in MCS regulation and lipid transfer between membranes. Ironically, we find that when all Osh proteins eliminated, ER-PM association is not reduced but significantly increases. We hypothesized this increase is due to compensatory increases in levels of tether proteins that physically link the ER and PM. In fact, in response to inactivating Osh protein expression, amounts of the tether protein Tcb3 increase and more ER-PM MCSs are produced. By testing the genomic transcriptional responses to the elimination of OSH and ER-PM tether genes, we find these mutants disrupt phospholipid regulation and they elicit the Environmental Stress Response (ESR) pathway, which integrates many different responses needed for recovery after cellular stress. OSH and ER-PM tether genes affect specific stress response pathways that impact the PM and ER, respectively. Combining OSH and tether mutations results in cell lethality, but these cells survive by increased expression of a key phospholipid biosynthetic gene. Based on these results, we propose that OSH and ER-PM tether genes affect phospholipid regulation and protect the PM and ER through membrane stress responses integrated through the ESR pathway.

Abstract
Multicellular organisms use DOCK family guanine nucleotide exchange factors to activate Rac/Rho-of-Plants small GTPases and coordinate cell shape change. In developing tissues, DOCK signals integrate cell-cell interactions with cytoskeleton remodeling, and the GEFs cluster reversibly at specific organelle surfaces to orchestrate cytoskeletal reorganization. The domain organizations among DOCK orthologs are diverse, and the mechanisms of localization control are poorly understood. Here we use combinations of transgene complementation and live cell imaging assays to uncover an evolutionarily conserved and essential localization determinant in the DOCK-GEF named SPIKE1. The SPIKE1-DHR3 domain is sufficient for organelle association in vivo, and displays a complicated lipid binding selectivity for both phospholipid head groups and fatty acid chain saturation. SPIKE1-DHR3 is predicted to adopt a C2-domain structure and functions as part of tandem C2 array that enables reversible clustering at the cell apex. This work provides mechanistic insight into how DOCK GEFs sense compositional and biophysical membrane properties at the interface of two organelle systems.

Abstract
The composition and dynamics of the lipid membrane define the physical properties of the bilayer and consequently affect the function of the incorporated membrane transporters, which also applies for the prominent Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ ion channel (CRAC). This channel is activated by receptor-induced Ca2+ store depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and consists of two transmembrane proteins, STIM1 and Orai1. STIM1 is anchored in the ER membrane and senses changes in the ER luminal Ca2+ concentration. Orai1 is the Ca2+-selective, pore-forming CRAC channel component located in the plasma membrane (PM). Ca2+ store-depletion of the ER triggers activation of STIM1 proteins, which subsequently leads to a conformational change and oligomerization of STIM1 and its coupling to as well as activation of Orai1 channels at the ER-PM contact sites. Although STIM1 and Orai1 are sufficient for CRAC channel activation, their efficient activation and deactivation is fine-tuned by a variety of lipids and lipid- and/or ER-PM junction-dependent accessory proteins. The underlying mechanisms for lipid-mediated CRAC channel modulation as well as the still open questions, are presented in this review.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) homologues, designated ORP or OSBPL proteins, constitute one of the largest families of intracellular lipid-binding/transfer proteins (LTP). This review summarizes the mounting evidence that several members of this family participate in the machinery facilitating cholesterol trafficking in the late endocytic pathway. There are indications that OSBP, besides acting as a cholesterol/phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) exchanger at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-trans-Golgi network (TGN) membrane contact sites (MCS), also exchanges these lipids at ER-lysosome (Lys) contacts, increasing Lys cholesterol content. The long isoform of ORP1 (ORP1L), which also targets ER-late endosome (LE)/Lys MCS, has the capacity to mediate cholesterol transport either from ER to LE or in the opposite direction. Moreover, it regulates the motility, positioning and fusion of LE as well as autophagic flux. ORP2, the closest relative of ORP1, is mainly cytosolic, but also targets PI(4,5)P2-rich endosomal compartments. Our latest data suggest that ORP2 transfers cholesterol from LE to recycling endosomes (RE) in exchange for PI(4,5)P2, thus stimulating the recruitment of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) on the RE and cell adhesion. FAK activates phosphoinositide kinase on the RE to enhance PI(4,5)P2 synthesis. ORP2 in turn transfers PI(4,5)P2 from RE to LE, thus regulating LE tubule formation and transport activity.

Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) and OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) constitute one of the largest families of lipid-binding/transfer proteins (LTPs) in eukaryotes. The current view is that many of them mediate inter-organelle lipid transfer over membrane contact sites (MCS). The transfer occurs in several cases in a 'counter-current' fashion: A lipid such as cholesterol or phosphatidylserine (PS) is transferred against its concentration gradient driven by transport of a phosphoinositide in the opposite direction. In this way ORPs are envisioned to maintain the distinct organelle lipid compositions, with impacts on multiple organelle functions. However, the functions of ORPs extend beyond lipid homeostasis to regulation of processes such as cell survival, proliferation and migration. Important expanding areas of mammalian ORP research include their roles in viral and bacterial infections, cancers, and neuronal function. The yeast OSBP homologue (Osh) proteins execute multifaceted functions in sterol and glycerophospholipid homeostasis, post-Golgi vesicle transport, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, sphingolipid and target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling, and cell cycle control. These observations identify ORPs as lipid transporters and coordinators of signals with an unforeseen variety of cellular processes. Understanding their activities not only enlightens the biology of the living cell but also allows their employment as targets of new therapeutic approaches for disease.

PI4P/PS countertransport by ORP10 at ER-endosome membrane contact sites regulates endosome fission. J Cell Biol 2022; 221:212876. [PMID: 34817532 PMCID: PMC8624802 DOI: 10.1083/jcb.202103141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) serve as a zone for nonvesicular lipid transport by oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs). ORPs mediate lipid countertransport, in which two distinct lipids are transported counterdirectionally. How such lipid countertransport controls specific biological functions, however, remains elusive. We report that lipid countertransport by ORP10 at ER–endosome MCSs regulates retrograde membrane trafficking. ORP10, together with ORP9 and VAP, formed ER–endosome MCSs in a phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P)-dependent manner. ORP10 exhibited a lipid exchange activity toward its ligands, PI4P and phosphatidylserine (PS), between liposomes in vitro, and between the ER and endosomes in situ. Cell biological analysis demonstrated that ORP10 supplies a pool of PS from the ER, in exchange for PI4P, to endosomes where the PS-binding protein EHD1 is recruited to facilitate endosome fission. Our study highlights a novel lipid exchange at ER–endosome MCSs as a nonenzymatic PI4P-to-PS conversion mechanism that organizes membrane remodeling during retrograde membrane trafficking.
