A novel approach to examining compositional heterogeneity of detergent-resistant lipid rafts

Immunology and Cell Biology

Abstract

Lipid rafts play an important role in cell signalling, cell adhesion and other cellular functions. Compositional heterogeneity of lipid rafts provides one mechanism of how lipid rafts provide the spatial and temporal regulation of cell signalling and cell adhesion. The constitutive presence of some signalling receptors/molecules and accumulation of others in the lipid raft allows them to interact with each other and thereby facilitate relay of signals from the plasma membrane to the cell interior. Devising a method that can analyze these lipid microdomains for the presence of signalling receptors/molecules on an individual raft basis is required to address the issue of lipid raft heterogeneity. SDS-PAGE analysis, currently used for analyses of detergent-resistant lipid rafts, does not address this question. We have designed a cell-free assay that captures detergent-resistant lipid rafts with an antibody against a raft-resident molecule and detects the presence of another lipid raft molecule. Our results suggest that detergent-resistant lipid rafts, also known as detergent-resistant membranes, are heterogeneous populations on an immortalized mouse T-cell plasma membrane with respect to antigen receptor/signalling complex and oth...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
