Accumulation of raft lipids in T-cell plasma membrane domains engaged in TCR signalling.
Activating stimuli for T lymphocytes are transmitted through plasma membrane domains that form at T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) signalling foci. Here, we determined the molecular lipid composition of immunoisolated TCR activation domains. We observed that they accumulate cholesterol, sphingomyelin and saturated phosphatidylcholine species as compared with control plasma membrane fragments. This...
متن کاملRas plasma membrane signalling platforms.
The plasma membrane is a complex, dynamic structure that provides platforms for the assembly of many signal transduction pathways. These platforms have the capacity to impose an additional level of regulation on cell signalling networks. In this review, we will consider specifically how Ras proteins interact with the plasma membrane. The focus will be on recent studies that provide novel spatia...
متن کاملT cell receptor signalling.
Upon engagement of the TCR by antigen presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, the Src family kinase Lck is activated and proceeds to phosphorylate immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) on the ε, δ, γ and ζ subunits of the TCR. Phosphorylated ITAMs promote the recruitment and subsequent activation of another tyrosine kinase ZAP-70. Two known substrates of...
متن کاملFunctional Implications of Plasma Membrane Condensation for T Cell Activation
The T lymphocyte plasma membrane condenses at the site of activation but the functional significance of this receptor-mediated membrane reorganization is not yet known. Here we demonstrate that membrane condensation at the T cell activation sites can be inhibited by incorporation of the oxysterol 7-ketocholesterol (7KC), which is known to prevent the formation of raft-like liquid-ordered domain...
متن کاملMembrane order in the plasma membrane and endocytic recycling compartment
The cholesterol content of membranes plays an important role in organizing membranes for signal transduction and protein trafficking as well as in modulating the biophysical properties of membranes. While the properties of model or isolated membranes have been extensively studied, there has been little evaluation of internal membranes in living cells. Here, we use a Nile Red based probe, NR12S,...
