1 Sterol binding and membrane lipid attachment to the Osh4 protein of yeast. Sterols oxysterol-binding protein KES1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
2 Osh4 is an oxysterol-binding protein homologue found in yeast that is essential for the intracellular transport of sterols and cell life. Sterols oxysterol-binding protein KES1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
3 The binding energies between both sterols and Osh4 were dominated by van der Waals interactions with residues within the sterol binding pocket, and were further stabilized by water-mediated interactions with polar residues at the bottom of the binding pocket (W46, Q96, Y97, N165, Q181). Sterols oxysterol-binding protein KES1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
4 Ultimately, understanding how Osh4 attaches to cellular membranes and binds sterol will lead to a clear understanding of how this protein transports sterols between organelles in vivo. Sterols oxysterol-binding protein KES1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
5 Ultimately, understanding how Osh4 attaches to cellular membranes and binds sterol will lead to a clear understanding of how this protein transports sterols between organelles in vivo. Sterols oxysterol-binding protein KES1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
