From the This study demonstrates that the steroidogenic
acute regulatory protein-related lipid transfer (START)
domain-containing protein, MLN64, participates in intracellular
cholesterol trafficking. Analysis of the intracellular itinerary of
MLN64 and MLN64 mutants tagged with green fluorescent protein
showed that the N-terminal transmembrane domains mediate endocytosis of
MLN64 from the plasma membrane to late endocytic compartments. MLN64
constitutively traffics via dynamic NPC1-containing late endosomal
tubules in normal cells; this dynamic movement was inhibited in
cholesterol-loaded cells, and MLN64 is trapped at the periphery of
cholesterol-laden lysosomes. The MLN64 START domain stimulated free
cholesterol transfer from donor to acceptor mitochondrial membranes and
enhanced steroidogenesis by placental mitochondria. Expression of a
truncated form of MLN64 (

START-MLN64), which contains N-terminal
transmembrane domains but lacks the START domain, caused free
cholesterol accumulation in lysosomes and inhibited late endocytic
dynamics. The
START-MLN64 dominant negative protein was located at
the surface of the cholesterol-laden lysosomes. This dominant negative
mutant suppressed steroidogenesis in COS cells expressing the
mitochondrial cholesterol side chain cleavage system. We conclude that
MLN64 participates in mobilization and utilization of lysosomal
cholesterol by virtue of the START domain's role in cholesterol transport.
