Structural basis for itraconazole-mediated NPC1 inhibition

Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) exports low-density-lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol from lysosomes and comporses a Sterol-Sensing Domain (SSD). Here authors report a cryo-EM structure of human NPC1 bound to itraconazole which reveals how this binding site in the center of NPC1 blocks a putative lumenal...
