Membrane contact sites (MCSs) in eukaryotic cells are hotspots for lipid
exchange, which is essential for many biological functions, including regulation
of membrane properties and protein trafficking. Lipid transfer proteins anchored
at membrane contact sites (LAMs) contain sterol-specific lipid transfer domains
[StARkin domain (SD)] and multiple targeting modules to specific membrane
organelles. Elucidating the structural mechanisms of targeting and ligand
recognition by LAMs is important for understanding the interorganelle
communication and exchange at MCSs. Here, we determined the crystal structures of
the yeast Lam6 pleckstrin homology (PH)-like domain and the SDs of Lam2 and Lam4
in the apo form and in complex with ergosterol. The Lam6 PH-like domain displays
a unique PH domain fold with a conserved N-terminal ?-helix. The Lam6 PH-like
domain lacks the basic surface for phosphoinositide binding, but contains
hydrophobic patches on its surface, which are critical for targeting to
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondrial contacts. Structures of the LAM SDs
display a helix-grip fold with a hydrophobic cavity and a flexible ?1-loop as a
lid. Ergosterol is bound to the pocket in a head-down orientation, with its
hydrophobic acyl group located in the tunnel entrance. The ?1-loop in an open
conformation is essential for ergosterol binding by direct hydrophobic
interaction. Structural comparison suggested that the sterol binding mode of the
Lam2 SD2 is likely conserved among the sterol transfer proteins of the StARkin
superfamily. Structural models of full-length Lam2 correlated with the sterol
transport function at the membrane contact sites.
