Neuron. 32:2001;801-814. The authors of this paper describe the existence of a population of signaling endosomes derived from clathrin-coated membranes in NGF-treated neurons with activated signaling proteins of the Ras/MAPK pathway. They speculate about the role of clathrin-coated vesicles in retrograde transport, considering that these vesicles represent one source for generating signaling endosomes that move the NGF signal from axon terminals to neuronal cell bodies.

Compartmentalized signaling by GPI-anchored ephrin-A5 requires the Fyn tyrosine kinase to regulate cellular adhesion. Genes Dev. 13:1999;3125-3135. This is the first report to link reverse signaling by Ephrin-A GPI-anchored ligands with lipid rafts and activation of the Src-family member Fyn. Together with [25], which was the first report to link reverse signaling by Ephrin-B transmembrane ligands with lipid rafts through the recruitment of members of the GRIP family of PDZ adaptor proteins, this study presents compelling evidence for the involvement of lipid rafts in ephrin signaling.

Jr. GFRalpha-mediated localization of RET to lipid rafts is required for effective downstream signaling, differentiation, and neuronal survival. Neuron. 25:2000;611-623. Here Tansey et al. report that the GPI-anchored GFRα1 receptor recruits c-Ret to lipid rafts after GDNF stimulation. Their experiments also indicate that this localization of c-Ret into raft microdomains is required for effective downstream signaling and result in c-Ret/Src association.

Released GFRalpha1 potentiates downstream signaling, neuronal survival, and differentiation via a novel mechanism of recruitment of c-Ret to lipid rafts. Neuron. 29:2001;171-184. The authors of this paper demonstrate a novel mechanism of recruitment of c-Ret to lipid rafts that is dependent on intracellular signaling. They also provide one of the first demonstrations of differential signaling by the same transmembrane receptor from inside and outside rafts. It was shown that, inside lipid rafts, activated c-Ret can associate with the adaptor protein FRS2, via binding to phosphorylated Tyr1062 in the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor. Outside lipid rafts, on the other hand, c-Ret associated with the adaptor protein Shc, via the same phosphotyrosine. Thus, competition between these two adaptors for binding to the same phosphotyrosine in the C-terminus of c-Ret may determine the submembrane localization of this receptor.

J Cell Sci. 115:2002;1331-1340. In this paper, the authors investigate the localization and function of EGFR in normal cells, in cholesterol-depleted and in cholesterol-enriched cells. The findings suggest that the plasma membrane cholesterol content directly controls the level of EGFR activation. Based on immunoelectron microscopy experiments, the authors confirm the role of lipid rafts in EGFR signaling, but question the participation of caveolae, a specialized type of lipid raft, in this process.

EMBO J. 21:2002;1899-1908. Here a new method for the isolation of lipid rafts at 37°C finds the T cell receptor (TCR) complex preassembled in a subset of these membrane subdomains. Contrary to previous observations, the findings outlined here indicate that ligand engagement does not result in TCR recruitment to rafts, but rather in the stabilization of the complex in this membrane compartment. The findings provide further evidence for the existence of lipid rafts under physiological conditions, and set a cautionary note to previous reports of ligand-dependent receptor mobilization into lipid rafts.
