Description Corroborating this, in vitro reconstitution assays indicated that STARD3 and its ER-anchored partner, Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein (VAP), assemble into a machine that allows a highly efficient transport of cholesterol within membrane contacts.
Description of experimental evidence The protein was validated by immunofluorescence, colocalization analysis, filipin staining, GFP-D4, filipin co-staining, flotation experiments, electron microscopy and stereology in Hela cells, and the complex allows a highly efficient transport of cholesterol within membrane contacts.

Description This sterol traffic depends on interaction between ER-localized VAP and endosomal oxysterol-binding protein ORP1L, and is required for the formation of ILVs within the MVB and thus for the spatial regulation of EGFR signaling.
Description of experimental evidence The protein was validated by electron microscopy, florescence Imaging, western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and quantitative RT-PCR in HeLa cells, which has important role in the sterol traffic.

Description We show that cholesterol in LEs is sensed by ORP1L, which transmits this information to the Rab7–RILP–p150Glued complex through the formation of ER–LE membrane contact sites (MCSs). At these sites, the ER protein VAP enters the Rab7–RILP complex to control p150Glued binding and positioning of LEs.
Description of experimental evidence The protein was validated by microscopy, FLIM, Immuno-EM and filipin stainings in MelJuSo cells, and these data explain how the ER and cholesterol control the association of LEs with motor proteins and their positioning in cells.

Description The endoplasmic reticulum possesses three major receptors, VAP‐A, VAP‐B, and MOSPD2, which interact with proteins at the surface of other organelles to build contacts; onventional FFATs (illustrated here with STARD11/CERT) which allow the formation of a stable complex between VAPs/MOSPD2 and thus the formation of MCSs.
Description of experimental evidence The protein was validated by pull‐down assays, immunoprecipitation,SDS–PAGE, western blot, CIP treatment, coomassie blue staining, mass spectrometry analysis, immunofluorescence and colocalization analysis in HeLa cells.
