Abstract

The transmembrane adapter LAT (linker for activation of T cells) plays a central role in signalling by ITAM bearing receptors expressed on T cells, natural killer cells, mast cells and platelets. Receptor engagement leads to the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues present in the intracellular domain of LAT and formation of a multiprotein complex with other adapter molecules and enzymes including Grb2, Gads/SLP-76 and PLCgamma isoforms. These signalling events predominantly take place in glycolipid-enriched membrane domains. The constitutive presence of LAT in GEMs enables its function as the main scaffolding protein for the organization of GEM-localized signalling. The study of LAT-deficient mice and LAT-deficient cell lines further emphasizes the importance of LAT for these signalling cascades but also defines the existence of LAT-independent events downstream of the Syk-family kinase-ITAM complex.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
