Intramembrane glycine mediates multimerization of Insig-2, a requirement for sterol regulation in Chinese hamster ovary cells
Sterol-induced binding of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane proteins Insig-1 and Insig-2 to SREBP cleavage-activating protein (Scap) and HMG-CoA reductase triggers regulatory events that limit cholesterol synthesis in animal cells. Binding of Insigs to Scap prevents proteolytic activation of stero...
