Recent discoveries of two sphingolipid transfer proteins, CERT and FAPP2, have brought the field of sphingolipid metabolism to a more dynamic stage. CERT transfers ceramide from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus, a step crucial for sphingomyelin (SM) synthesis. The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and the FFAT motif of CERT restrict the direction of transfer and destination of ceramide through binding to phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate (PI4P) at the Golgi and the ER resident proteins, VAPs, respectively. CERT is regulated by the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of serine/threonine, in which protein kinase D, possibly casein kinase I, and PP2C epsilon are involved. On the other hand, FAPP2 transfers glucosylceramide (GlcCer) to appropriate sites for the synthesis of complex glycosphingolipids. Like CERT, FAPP2 contains a PH domain, the binding of which to PI4P is required for its localization to the Golgi. These observations indicate that lipid transfer proteins, CERT and FAPP2, spatially regulate lipid metabolism on the cytosolic side. (c) 2008 IUBMB.
