Figure 1 SUMOylation of LRH-1 Promotes Its Interaction with PROX1 and Inhibits Gene Expression Linked to Reverse Cholesterol Transport LRH-1 promotes transcription of genes involved in hepatic reverse cholesterol transport including Scarb1, Abgc5, and Abcg8. Expression of these genes contributes to increased hepatic cholesterol uptake and excretion. SUMOylation of LRH-1 promotes its interaction with the transcriptional repressor PROX1 and thereby inhibits target gene expression, inhibits reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), and increases susceptibility to atherosclerosis.
