== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The ORM/ORMDL family proteins function as regulatory subunits of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex, which is the initiating and rate-limiting enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis. This complex is tightly regulated by cellular sphingolipid levels, but the sphingolipid sensing mechanism is unknown. Here we show that purified human SPT-ORMDL complexes are inhibited by the central sphingolipid metabolite ceramide. We have solved the cryo-EM structure of the SPT-ORMDL3 complex in a ceramide-bound state. Structure-guided mutational analyses reveal the essential function of this ceramide binding site for the suppression of SPT activity. Structural studies indicate that ceramide can induce and lock the N-terminus of ORMDL3 into an inhibitory conformation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that childhood amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) variants in the SPTLC1 subunit cause impaired ceramide sensing in the SPT-ORMDL3 mutants. Our work elucidates the molecular basis of ceramide sensing by the SPT-ORMDL complex for establishing sphingolipid homeostasis and indicates an important role of impaired ceramide sensing in disease development.
