FIGURE 7:

Expression of omega-1 loop mutant (W108D) of STARD4 does not restore sterol transport. (A) U2OS-SRA cells were transfected with either wild-type or W108D mCherry-FKBP-STARD4 48 h before the experiment. STARD4 CRISPR constructs were transfected for 18 h before the experiment. FRAP measurements for cells expressing wild-type or W108D mCherry-FKBP-STARD4 in cells expressing STARD4 CRISPR constructs. Control, t1/2 = 14.5 ± 1.5 min; SD4 CRISPR + SD4, t1/2 = 11.0 ± 1.6 min; SD4 CRISPR + W108D SD4, t1/2 = 21.9 ± 1.5 min. (B) DHE efflux curves for cells expressing wild-type or W108D mCherry-FKBP-STARD4 in cells expressing STARD4 CRISPR constructs. Control, t1/2 = 14.9 ± 0.9 min; SD4 CRISPR + SD4, t1/2 = 12.5 ± 0.4 min; SD4 CRISPR + W108D SD4, t1/2 = 19.0 ± 0.2 min. Each data point is derived from an average of at least 10 experiments (±SE). Data are fitted to single-exponential curves.
