Lipid rafts: cell surface platforms for T cell signaling
The Src family tyrosine kinase Lck is essential for T cell development and T cell receptor (TCR)* signaling. Lck is post-translationally fatty acylated at its N-terminus conferring membrane targeting and concentration in plasma membrane lipid rafts, which are lipid-based organisational platforms. Co...

The Src family tyrosine kinase Lck is essential for T cell development and T cell receptor (TCR)* signaling.

The TCR also associates with lipid rafts and its cross-linking causes coaggregation of raft-associated proteins including Lck, but not of CD45. Cross-linking of either the TCR or rafts strongly induces specific tyrosine phosphorylation of the TCR in the rafts.
