Cells have mechanisms in place to maintain the specific lipid composition of distinct organelles including vesicular transport by the endomembrane system and non-vesicular lipid transport by lipid transport proteins. Oxysterol Binding Proteins (OSBPs) are a family of lipid transport proteins that transfer lipids at various membrane contact sites (MCSs). OSBPs have been extensively investigated in human and yeast cells where twelve have been identified in Homo sapiens and seven in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The evolutionary relationship between these well-characterized OSBPs is still unclear. Reconstructed OSBP phylogenies revealed that the ancestral Saccharomycotinan had four OSBPs, the ancestral Holomycotan had five OSBPs, the ancestral Holozoan had six OSBPs, the ancestral Opisthokont had three OSBPs, and the ancestral Eukaroyte had three OSBPs. Our analysis identified three clades of ancient OSBPs not present in animals or fungi.
