SIDT2 is a lysosomal protein involved in the degradation of nucleic acids and the transport of cholesterol between membranes. Previous studies identified two "cholesterol recognition/interaction amino acid consensus" (CRAC) motifs in SIDT1 and SIDT2 members. We have previously shown that the first CRAC motif (CRAC-1) is essential for protein translocation to the PM upon cholesterol depletion in the cell. In the present study, we show that SIDT2 and the apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) form a complex which requires the second CRAC-2 motif in SIDT2 to be established. The overexpression of SIDT2 and ApoA1 results in enhanced ApoA1 secretion by HepG2 cells. This is not observed when overexpressing the SIDT2 with the CRAC-2 domain mutated to render it unfunctional. All these results provide evidence of a novel role for SIDT2 as a protein forming a complex with ApoA1 and enhancing its secretion to the extracellular space.
