For example, statins have been proposed to cause co-localization of α-secretase and APP within lipid rafts [15,33]; statins might also induce modification of the structure and activity of a protein in the plasma membrane α-secretase complex, perhaps in an action similar to how statins bind and “lock” cell-surface integrins [34].
Indeed, we report here that the palmitoylated cysteine-string is responsible for the targeting of Rlk to RAFTs: detergent-insoluble, glycolipid-enriched membrane microdomains that contain many signaling molecules, including Src family kinases.
To examine whether Rlk is also associated with RAFTs, we performed sucrose gradiant fractionation of lysates from Jurkat lymphoma cell lines transfected with Rlk-GFP.
9have recently received much attention as gateways of trafficking and signaling [ 27 28 ] . Also called membrane rafts or lipid rafts, they are specific membrane sites, rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids.
In particular, since Rlk can be associated with detergent-insoluble RAFTs, it is possible that a change in subcellular localization or associations may contribute to the decrease in Rlk protein.
