J Biol Chem. 273:1998;1150-1157. This study and [7] demonstrate the essential role of sphingolipids in the formation of Triton X-100-insoluble lipid domains, which are greatly enhanced by the presence of cholesterol. Moreover it shows that although Triton X-100 insolubility characterizes the liquid-ordered (lo) relative to the liquid-disordered (ld) phase, this insolubility appears to significantly underestimate the amount of lo phase present. Detergent does not, however, artifactually create ordered domains or induce components of solubilized membranes to associate with detergent-insoluble membranes in separate bilayers within the same lysate.

Involvement of the translocation of activated protein kinase C isoforms. J Biol Chem. 274:1999;14176-14187. The authors of this paper, by carefully calibrating the ration of Triton X-100 to cells used for membrane solubilization, demonstrate that plasma membrane CD4 is steadily confined to and enriched within membrane rafts. Phorbol ester, an activator of protein kinase C, induces disruption of the CD4-Lck complex in membrane rafts which is followed by CD4 downregulation at the cell surface. They also provide ultrastructural evidence for the existence of intrinsically detergent-insoluble membrane domains.

This paper elegantly demonstrates that IGF-1 induces the coalescence of membrane rafts that redistributes CCR5 chemokine receptors along with GM1 and a GPI-anchored green fluorescent protein (GFP) at the leading edge of a migrating MCF-7 tumor cell line. Raft disruption by cholesterol depletion specifically affects the acquisition of cell polarity and chemotaxis of MCF-7 cells.

This paper shows that CD3 and CD28 co-engagement induces the redistribution and coalescence of membrane rafts at the interface between T cells and antigen-presenting cells. CD28-dependent aggregation of membrane rafts reinforces interactions of signaling molecules with membrane rafts and strongly potentiates TCR signaling within these membrane domains.

J Cell Biol. 145:1999;877-887. By using methyl β-cyclodextrin, the authors carefully demonstrate that cholesterol depletion disrupts the interactions of crosslinked FcεRI and Lyn - but not GD1b or Thy-1 - with membrane rafts that are isolated on a sucrose density gradient. Furthermore this depletion substantially reduces stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of FcεRI, which can be restored by cholesterol repletion. In this paper, the authors also show that crosslinking of FcεRI induces the co-aggregation of membrane rafts - as indicated by the co-redistribution of Lyn and GD1b at the cell surface - and that only Lyn co-redistribution is prevented by cholesterol depletion, consistent with the biochemical data.

This is the first demonstration of LAT palmitoylation on the two juxtamembrane cysteine residues, Cys26 and Cys29. Although both cysteine residues contribute to LAT palmitoylation, Cys26 is essential for the association of LAT with rafts. Furthermore this paper, together with [34,35], shows that mutations at Cys26 and Cys29 or Cys26 alone, but not Cys29 alone, abolish LAT function and TCR signaling. In [35], the authors show, in addition, that the extracellular and transmembrane domains of LAT are dispensable for TCR-mediated signaling events once LAT has localized to membrane rafts.

Quantitative analysis of phospholipids in functionally important membrane domains from RBL-2H3 mast cells using tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry. Biochemistry. 38:1999;8056-8063. Using mass spectrometry, this work studies the lipid composition of membrane rafts isolated under conditions that preserve FcεRI association from RBL-2H3 cells. Isolated rafts are substantially enriched in sphingomyelin and in glycerophospholipids, with a higher degree of saturation as compared to total cellular lipids. The membrane rafts from cells with cross-linked FcεRI exhibit a larger ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated and monounsaturated phospholipids than those from unstimulated cells.

This is the first demonstration that crosslinking of markers promotes coalescence of membrane rafts, which can be observed by immunofluorescence microscopy. In contrast to raft markers, non-raft markers are not colocalized within these lipid patches; this is proposed to be due to the immiscibility of different lipid phases.
39. •], shows for the first time that crosslinking of the raft component GM1 triggers the aggregation of membrane rafts at the T cell surface. This study also shows that the TCR is colocalized in GM1-induced raft patches and that TCR crosslinking also promotes raft aggregation. In addition GM1 crosslinking activates signaling cascades analogous to TCR stimulation, with the same dependence on expression of key TCR signaling molecules.

This is the first report of the physical segregation of CD4 into different lipid raft subpopulations, thus revealing the heterogeneity within membrane rafts. The functional relevance of such segregation is indicated by striking differences in glycolipid-associated kinase activity between the different raft subpopulations. These observations also suggest that detergents do not provoke the random coalescence of membrane rafts during membrane solubilization.

This report demonstrates that the phosphorylation of TCRζ ITAMs does not play an exclusive role in T cell development and activation. It is also shown that the presence of a transduction-defective ζ chain does not prevent the ability of the TCR to stimulate LAT phosphorylation in membrane rafts.

This paper reports for the first time that, in mouse B lymphoma cells, crosslinking of the BCR triggered its quasi-instantaneous recruitment to membrane rafts that contain Lyn but exclude CD45. In addition, phosphorylated Igα and Lyn are present in membrane rafts after BCR crosslinking. Subsequently, the BCR and the raft component GM1 are targeted to the class II peptide loading compartment (IIPLC). The requirement of the cytoplasmic domain of BCR for its translocation from membrane rafts to the IIPLC is also demonstrated.

Immune-synapse formation and the active segregation and motion of the signaling molecules involved appear to be determinants for T cell activation.

In this investigation, liquid-ordered lipid domains were for the first time directly observed (using single molecule microscopy) in living cells. These lipid domains display properties matched to those of membrane fractions described as detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) and can thus be identified as their in vivo correlate. These data represent to date one of the best studies characterizing membrane rafts in living cells.

This paper shows that BCRs are co-capped with membrane rafts in anti-IgM-activated B cells. In addition, externalized phosphatidylserine was found to be mobilized to the same caps, suggesting that changes in membrane raft structure can accompany BCR activation.
