Oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) homologs comprise a family of 12 proteins in humans (Jaworski et al., 2001; Lehto
et al., 2001). Two variants of OSBP-related protein
(ORP) 1 have been identified: a short one that consists of the
carboxy-terminal ligand binding domain only (ORP1S, 437 aa) and a
longer N-terminally extended form (ORP1L, 950 aa) encompassing three
ankyrin repeats and a pleckstrin homology domain (PHD). We now report
that the two mRNAs show marked differences in tissue expression. ORP1S predominates in skeletal muscle and heart, whereas ORP1L is the most
abundant form in brain and lung. On differentiation of primary human
monocytes into macrophages, both ORP1S and ORP1L mRNAs were induced,
the up-regulation of ORP1L being >100-fold. The intracellular localization of the two ORP1 variants was found to be different. Whereas ORP1S is largely cytosolic, the ORP1L variant localizes to late
endosomes. A significant amount of ORP1S but only little ORP1L was
found in the nucleus. The ORP1L ankyrin repeat region (aa
1-237) was found to localize to late endosomes such as the full-length
protein. This localization was even more pronounced for a fragment that
additionally includes the PHD (aa 1-408). The amino-terminal region of
ORP1L consisting of the ankyrin repeat and PHDs is therefore likely to
be responsible for the targeting of ORP1L to late endosomes.
Interestingly, overexpression of ORP1L was found to enhance the

-mediated transactivation of a reporter gene, whereas ORP1S
failed to influence this process. The results suggest that the two
forms of ORP1 are functionally distinct and that ORP1L is involved in
control of cellular lipid metabolism.
