Glycosphingolipids (particularly sphingolmyelin and glycosylphosphoinositol-GPI anchored proteins preferentially partition into rafts.)The debate: Rafts in model membranes vs Rafts in Biological MembranesOrigin: TritonX 100 insoluble components isolated from biological membranes:Detergent Resistant Membranes DRM.Does DRM always equal a “raft”TritonX100 can solubilize DOPC:chol butNot DPPC:cholSphingomyelin – cholesterol interactionsSphingomyelin POPC4 reviews on domain formation in model membranes and physical properties that underlie raft formation2 reviews to describe techniques used for studying rafts (FRET) – and uncertainty for detecting rafts in cell membranesRaft Function in Cells:4 on signal transduction(IgE receptor signaling, Growth factors, Ras signaling)Ceremide Raft function in apoptotic signaling3 reviews on raft involvement in Endocytosis (mammalian viruses, bacterial infections, bacterial toxins)2 reviews of caveloaeDecember 2005Membrane raft OrganizationDRMs detergent resistant membranesDIGs detergent insoluble glycolipid-enriched membranesGEMs glycolipid enriched membranesTIFFs Triton insoluble membranesRaft is more generic as the microdomain can be “caused” by protein association, not just physical properties of the lipids themselvesRafts may or may not contain caveolinCaveolin1, caveolin2, caveolin 3, hemagglutinin and GPI anchored proteins serve as markers for raft formationA: liquid domains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids – large scale > 50 nmB: lipid shells, small dynamic, regulated processesC: mosaic of domains, maybe regulated by cholesterol-based mechanismD: small dynamic multimeric lipid assemblies, dynamic and transientRole of structural and mechanical properties of bilayers on peptide-lipid partitioningMelittin: 26 aa cationic bee venom: channelsProtein sorting1:1:1 mixture of DOPC:SPM:CHOL, the detergent insoluble fraction has a thickness that is 9Å greater than that of the DSMRole of Bilayer thickness in protein-lipid interactions: possible role in sorting of proteins via hydrophobic mismatch of the transmembrane domain (TMD).Hydrophobic mismatch: if there is a mismatch between the length of the TMD and the hydrocarbon thickness, then the bilayer would need to deform to prevent exposure of the hydrophobic amino acids to water. This would be energetically unfavorable. So, if the protein can “move” to a “raft” of different thickness, there would be a driving force for such partitioning.Bio significance: in GOLGI, proteins with short TMDs reside in non raft regions, whereas proteins with longer TMDs reside in raft regions destined to the plasma membrane (rich in cholesterol and SPM). Length of TMD has been indicated to be an important factor in controlling protein trafficing.Experimental studies of peptide sorting by lengthThermal kT = 0.6 kcal/mol at 37oC.Big Question: We can see rafts in Model Membranes (GUVs or Supported Lipid Bilayers, LM), but how to study in cells? Do rafts really exist in cells? Are they static large structures? Are they small transient structures?FRET and FRET based Microscopy TechniquesFRET fluorescence resonance energy
