UniProt functional annotation for P35845

UniProt code: P35845.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Lipid-binding protein involved in maintenance of intracellular sterol distribution and homeostasis. Binds to phosphoinositides. May be involved in formation of PMN vesicles by altering the membrane lipid composition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15173322}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with NVJ1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15367582}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus membrane. Nucleus outer membrane. Note=Soluble protein that accumulates on the surface of late Golgi membranes and at nucleus-vacuole (NV) junctions, interorganelle interfaces between the nuclear envelope and the vacuole membrane formed during piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus (PMN). Targeted exclusively to NV junctions in stationary phase.
Domain: The ankyrin repeats are required for targeting the protein to the NV junction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12727870}.
Domain: The PH domain is required for targeting the protein to the late Golgi. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12727870}.
Domain: The FFAT motif is required for interaction with SCS2 and proper localization of the protein. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12727870}.
Similarity: Belongs to the OSBP family. {ECO:0000305}.
