Description

Juuso Taskinen and co-authors run a hypothesis-free multi-omics study of ORP7, a lipid-binding protein, in primary endothelial cells. Their 2024 paper deals with a family member whose functions have stayed elusive.

Other proteins in the family are well characterized, but ORP7 is not. It sits at membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and cell surface, and interacts with autophagy-related proteins. Suggested roles include cholesterol efflux and macroautophagy. The team blocked ORP7 chemically and measured the transcriptome and the lipidome. A proximity labeling method mapped its interaction partners. Working in primary human cells, rather than a cell line, keeps the findings close to real vessel biology.
