title: A twoferase for lipid transfer at ER-golgi contact sites.
abstract: Reporting in Cell, Mesmin et al. (2013) show how a single molecule of oxysterol binding protein, which has a lipid binding domain that solubilizes both sterol and PI4P, might integrate its two specificities to drive the two lipids in opposite directions across endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi membrane contact sites.
