FIG. 1.
Conceptual model of cholesterol effects on the traffic of microbial pathogens into or out of the eukaryotic cell. (A) The bacterial pathogen interacts directly with membrane cholesterol, which serves as a “docking site” and stabilizes microbial interaction with membranes. (B) The bacterial pathogen interacts directly with a GPI-anchored protein receptor embedded in lipid rafts. Cholesterol is required to maintain lipid raft integrity. (C) The internalized microorganism resides within a phagosome with a cholesterol-enriched membrane. Cholesterol is required to prevent phagolysosomal fusion. (D) Viral particles (HIV-1) are targeted to lipid rafts. Cholesterol is required to maintain virion integrity and the release of infectious virions.
