Abstract

Cholesterol regulates activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) through a classic feedback loop. Walker et al. (2011) extend the regulatory inputs governing SREBP activity to include an independent loop modulated by phosphatidylcholine (PC) and cellular methylation capacity. These findings suggest a link between lipid synthesis and cellular pathways involved in methylation.
