Membrane: Its Components

What are Lipid Rafts ?
“Lipid rafts are small (10-200nm), heterogeneous, highly dynamic, sterol- and sphingolipid-enriched domains that compartmentalize cellular
processes”

Cell membrane

Examples of lipid and protein domains in cell membranes
Cholesterol-rich domains
indirect immunofluorescence microscopy
Domains formed by the proton–argenine symportertransporter (Can1p–GFP)
Single domains, enriched in the fluorescent lipid analogue DMPECy5
Lipid domains with greater relative order than the bulk membrane, visualizedin living macrophages with the fluorescent probe, Laurdan.The warmer pseudo-colours representmore ordered regions
The scale bars represent 1 μm in a, and 5 μm in c and d.

Types of lipid rafts: Two
• Caveolae: small, flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane enriched in caveolin
• Planar lipid rafts: found in neurons and enriched in flotillin
• Caveolin and flotillin recruit signaling proteins
• Signaling can be promoted or dampened

Raft Proteins
• True resident proteins– GPI-anchored proteins-prion protein (PrPc)– Caveolin– Flotillin
• Signaling proteins– G-protein, non-receptor tyrosine kinases
• Cytoskeletal/Adhesion proteins– actin, myosin, vinculin, cofilin, cadherin, ezrin

How to name Lipid Rafts ?
![Page 10: Lipid rafts in signal transduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061508/55496cd1b4c905d8558b4f95/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why do they form?
![Page 11: Lipid rafts in signal transduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061508/55496cd1b4c905d8558b4f95/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why do they form? Cholesterol
• Cholesterol is the dynamic “glue” that holds the raft together– Saturation– Hydroxyl H-bonding
with amide
• Up to 25% of cholesterol is found in the brain…CNS?
• When removed, most proteins dissociate from rafts

How to Modify Rafts ?

How Signaling Initiated Through Rafts ?

Disorders & Diseases
• Mood disorders– Therapeutic efficacy of antidepressants
• Alzheimer’s disease– Platforms for production of amyloid-β (neurotoxic
protein)
• Prion disorder– Normal prion protein (PrPc) is converted to abnormal
proteins (PrPsc) in lipid rafts (GPI anchor required)
• HIV virus– Budding may occur from
lipid rafts

Why all the controversy?
• Problems with biomembranes– Lipid rafts are too small to be resolved by light
microscopy– Difficult to study lipid rafts in intact cells– Not in thermodynamic equilibrium
• Problems with synthetic membranes– Lower concentration of proteins– Difficult to model membrane-cytoskeletal interactions– Lack natural lipid asymmetry – Studied under equilibrium conditions
