KES1_YEAST Plays a role in ergosterol synthesis.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
We have synthesized 16,22-diketocholesterol, a novel ligand for oxysterol-binding protein Osh4, and determined X-ray structure of the diketocholesterol in complex with Osh4. The X-ray structure shows that alpha7 helix of Osh4 assumes open conformation while the rest of Osh4, closed conformation, implying this diketocholesterol-bound Osh4 structure may represent a structural intermediate between the two conformations.
