Abstract
Several groups have recently reported evidence for the emergence of domains in cell plasma membranes when membrane proteins are organized by ligand binding or assembly of membrane proximal scaffolds. These domains recruit and retain components that favor the liquid-ordered phase, adding to a decades-old literature interrogating the contribution of membrane phase separation in plasma membrane organization and function. Here we propose that both past and present observations are consistent with a model in which membranes have a high compositional susceptibility, arising from their thermodynamic state in a single phase that is close to a miscibility phase transition. This rigorous framework naturally allows for both transient structure in the form of composition fluctuations and long-lived structure in the form of induced domains. In this way, the biological tuning of plasma membrane composition enables a responsive compositional landscape that facilitates and augments cellular biochemistry vital to plasma membrane functions.

Abstract
B cells play an important role in adaptive immunity and participate in the process of humoral immunity mainly by secreting antibodies. The entire development and differentiation process of B cells occurs in multiple microenvironments and is regulated by a variety of environmental factors and immune signals. Differentiation biases or disfunction of B cells participate in the process of many autoimmune diseases. Emerging studies report the impact of altered metabolism in B cell biology, including lipid metabolism. Here, we discuss how extracellular lipid environment and metabolites, membrane lipid-related components, and lipid synthesis and catabolism programs coordinate B cell biology and describe the crosstalk of lipid metabolic programs with signal transduction pathways and transcription factors. We conclude with a summary of therapeutic targets for B cell lipid metabolism and signaling in autoimmune diseases and discuss important future directions.

Abstract
Successful B cell activation, which is critical for high-affinity antibody production, is controlled by the B cell antigen receptor (BCR). However, we still lack a comprehensive protein-level view of the very dynamic multi-branched cellular events triggered by antigen binding. Here, we employed APEX2 proximity biotinylation to study antigen-induced changes, 5-15 min after receptor activation, at the vicinity of the plasma membrane lipid rafts, wherein BCR enriches upon activation. The data reveals dynamics of signaling proteins, as well as various players linked to the subsequent processes, such as actin cytoskeleton remodeling and endocytosis. Interestingly, our differential expression analysis identified dynamic responses in various proteins previously not linked to early B cell activation. We demonstrate active SUMOylation at the sites of BCR activation in various conditions and report its functional role in BCR signaling through the AKT and ERK1/2 axes.

Abstract
Phase transitions of cellular proteins and lipids play a key role in governing the organisation and coordination of intracellular biology. The frequent juxtaposition of proteinaceous biomolecular condensates to cellular membranes raises the intriguing prospect that phase transitions in proteins and lipids could be co-regulated. Here we investigate this possibility in the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granule-ANXA11-lysosome ensemble, where ANXA11 tethers RNP granule condensates to lysosomal membranes to enable their co-trafficking. We show that changes to the protein phase state within this system, driven by the low complexity ANXA11 N-terminus, induce a coupled phase state change in the lipids of the underlying membrane. We identify the ANXA11 interacting proteins ALG2 and CALC as potent regulators of ANXA11-based phase coupling and demonstrate their influence on the nanomechanical properties of the ANXA11-lysosome ensemble and its capacity to engage RNP granules. The phenomenon of protein-lipid phase coupling we observe within this system offers an important template to understand the numerous other examples across the cell whereby biomolecular condensates closely juxtapose cell membranes.

Abstract
The B-cell receptor (BCR), a complex comprised of a membrane-associated immunoglobulin and the Igα/β heterodimer, is one of the most important immune receptors in humans and controls B-cell development, activity, selection, and death. BCR signaling plays key roles in autoimmune diseases and lymphoproliferative disorders, yet, despite the clinical significance of this protein complex, key regions (i.e., the transmembrane domains) have yet to be structurally characterized. The mechanism for BCR signaling also remains unclear and has been variously described by the mutually exclusive cross-linking and dissociation activation models. Common to these models is the significance of local plasma membrane composition, which implies that interactions between BCR transmembrane domains (TMDs) play a role in receptor functionality. Here we used an in vivo assay of TMD oligomerization called GALLEX alongside spectroscopic and computational methods to characterize the structures and interactions of human Igα and Igβ TMDs in detergent micelles and natural membranes. We observed weak self-association of the Igβ TMD and strong self-association of the Igα TMD, which scanning mutagenesis revealed was entirely stabilized by an E–X10–P motif. We also demonstrated strong heterotypic interactions between the Igα and Igβ TMDs both in vitro and in vivo, which scanning mutagenesis and computational models suggest is multiconfigurational but can accommodate distinct interaction sites for self-interactions and heterotypic interactions of the Igα TMD. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the TMDs of the human BCR are sites of strong protein–protein interactions that may direct BCR assembly, endoplasmic reticulum retention, and immune signaling.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) is a critical signaling molecule activated downstream from a variety of cell surface receptors that contain an intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif. These receptors recruit kinases such as Syk, BTK, and BLNK to phosphorylate and activate PLCγ2, which then generates 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. These well-known second messengers are required for diverse membrane functionality including cellular proliferation, endocytosis, and calcium flux. As a result, PLCγ2 dysfunction is associated with a variety of diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration, and immune disorders. The diverse pathologies associated with PLCγ2 are exemplified by distinct genetic variants. Inherited mutations at this locus cause PLCγ2-associated antibody deficiency and immune dysregulation, in some cases with autoinflammation. Acquired mutations at this locus, which often arise as a result of BTK inhibition to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia, result in constitutive downstream signaling and lymphocyte proliferation. Finally, a third group of PLCγ2 variants actually has a protective effect in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders, presumably by increased uptake and degradation of deleterious neurological aggregates. Therefore, manipulating PLCγ2 activity either up or down could have therapeutic benefit; however, we require a better understanding of the signaling pathways propagated by these variants before such clinical utility can be realized. Here, we review the signaling roles of PLCγ2 in hematopoietic cells to help understand the effect of mutations driving immune disorders and cancer and extrapolate from this to roles which may relate to protection against neurodegeneration.

Noncatalytic Bruton's tyrosine kinase activates PLCγ 2 variants mediating ibrutinib resistance in human chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. J Biol Chem 2020; 295:5717-5736.

Abstract
Treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), such as ibrutinib, is limited by primary or secondary resistance to this drug. Examinations of CLL patients with late relapses while on ibrutinib, which inhibits BTK's catalytic activity, revealed several mutations in BTK, most frequently resulting in the C481S substitution, and disclosed many mutations in PLCG2, encoding phospholipase C-γ2 (PLCγ2). The PLCγ2 variants typically do not exhibit constitutive activity in cell-free systems, leading to the suggestion that in intact cells they are hypersensitive to Rac family small GTPases or to the upstream kinases spleen-associated tyrosine kinase (SYK) and Lck/Yes-related novel tyrosine kinase (LYN). The sensitivity of the PLCγ2 variants to BTK itself has remained unknown. Here, using genetically-modified DT40 B lymphocytes, along with various biochemical assays, including analysis of PLCγ2-mediated inositol phosphate formation, inositol phospholipid assessments, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) static laser microscopy, and determination of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+] i ), we show that various CLL-specific PLCγ2 variants such as PLCγ2S707Y are hyper-responsive to activated BTK, even in the absence of BTK's catalytic activity and independently of enhanced PLCγ2 phospholipid substrate supply. At high levels of B-cell receptor (BCR) activation, which may occur in individual CLL patients, catalytically-inactive BTK restored the ability of the BCR to mediate increases in [Ca2+] i Because catalytically-inactive BTK is insensitive to active-site BTK inhibitors, the mechanism involving the noncatalytic BTK uncovered here may contribute to preexisting reduced sensitivity or even primary resistance of CLL to these drugs.

Abstract
Signal transduction through cellular membranes requires the highly specific and coordinated work of specialized proteins. Proper functioning of these proteins is provided by an interplay between them and the lipid environment. Liquid-ordered lipid domains are believed to be important players here, however, it is still unclear whether conditions for a phase separation required for lipid domain formation exist in cellular membranes. Moreover, membrane leaflets are compositionally asymmetric, that could be an obstacle for the formation of symmetric domains spanning the lipid bilayer. We theoretically show that the presence of protein in the membrane leads to the formation of a stable liquid-ordered lipid phase around it by the mechanism of protein wetting by lipids, even in the absence of conditions necessary for the global phase separation in the membrane. Moreover, we show that protein shape plays a crucial role in this process, and protein conformational rearrangement can lead to changes in the size and characteristics of surrounding lipid domains.

Abstract
Here, we describe a one-step, in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease-mediated strategy to generate knock-in mice. We produced knock-in (KI) mice wherein a 1.9-kb DNA fragment bearing a pre-arranged human B-cell receptor heavy chain was recombined into the native murine immunoglobulin locus. Our methodology relies on Cas9 nuclease-induced double-stranded breaks directed by two sgRNAs to occur within the specific target locus of fertilized oocytes. These double-stranded breaks are subsequently repaired via homology-directed repair by a plasmid-borne template containing the pre-arranged human immunoglobulin heavy chain. To validate our knock-in mouse model, we examined the expression of the KI immunoglobulin heavy chains by following B-cell development and performing single B-cell receptor sequencing. We optimized this strategy to generate immunoglobulin KI mice in a short amount of time with a high frequency of homologous recombination (30-50%). In the future, we envision that such knock-in mice will provide much needed vaccination models to evaluate immunoresponses against immunogens specific for various infectious diseases.

Abstract
Phase separation in biological membranes plays an important role in protein targeting and transmembrane signaling. Its occurrence in both membrane leaflets commonly gives rise to matching liquid or liquid-ordered domains in the opposing monolayers. The underlying mechanism of such co-localization is not fully understood. The decrease of the line tension around the thicker ordered domain constitutes an important driving force. Yet, robust domain coupling requires an additional energy source, which we have now identified as thermal undulations. Our theoretical analysis of elastic deformations in a lipid bilayer shows that stiffer lipid domains tend to distribute into areas with lower fluctuations of monolayer curvature. These areas naturally align in the opposing monolayers. Thus, coupling requires both membrane leafs to display a heterogeneity in splay rigidities. The heterogeneity may either originate from intrinsic lipid properties or be acquired by adsorption of peripheral molecules. Undulations and line tension act synergistically: the gain in energy due a minimized line tension is proportional to domain radius and thus primarily fuels the registration of smaller domains; whereas the energetic contribution of undulations increases with membrane area and thus primarily acts to coalesce larger domains.

Abstract
Liquid-ordered lipid domains, also called rafts, are assumed to be important players in different cellular processes, mainly signal transduction and membrane trafficking. They are thicker than the disordered part of the membrane and are thought to form to compensate for the hydrophobic mismatch between transmembrane proteins and the lipid environment. Despite the existence of such structures in vivo still being an open question, they are observed in model systems of multicomponent lipid bilayers. Moreover, the predictions obtained from model experiments allow the explanation of different physiological processes possibly involving rafts. Here we present the results of the study of the regulation of raft size distribution by ganglioside GM1. Combining atomic force microscopy with theoretical considerations based on the theory of membrane elasticity, we predict that this glycolipid should change the line tension of raft boundaries in two different ways, mainly depending on the cholesterol content. These results explain the shedding of gangliosides from the surface of tumor cells and the following ganglioside-induced apoptosis of T-lymphocytes in a raft-dependent manner. Moreover, the generality of the model allows the prediction of the line activity of different membrane components based on their molecular geometry.

Abstract
Interaction between transmembrane helices often determines biological activity of membrane proteins. Bitopic proteins, a broad subclass of membrane proteins, form dimers containing two membrane-spanning helices. Some aspects of their structure-function relationship cannot be fully understood without considering the protein-lipid interaction, which can determine the protein conformational ensemble. Experimental and computer modeling data concerning transmembrane parts of bitopic proteins are reviewed in the present paper. They highlight the importance of lipid-protein interactions and resolve certain paradoxes in the behavior of such proteins. Besides, some properties of membrane organization provided a clue to understanding of allosteric interactions between distant parts of proteins. Interactions of these kinds appear to underlie a signaling mechanism, which could be widely employed in the functioning of many membrane proteins. Treatment of membrane proteins as parts of integrated fine-tuned proteolipid system promises new insights into biological function mechanisms and approaches to drug design. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Lipid order/lipid defects and lipid-control of protein activity edited by Dirk Schneider.

Abstract
The BCR binds antigen for processing and subsequent presentation on MHC II molecules. Polyvalent antigen induces BCR clustering and targeting to endocytic processing compartments, which are also accessed by Ii-MHC II. Here, we report that clustered BCR is able to team up with Ii-MHC II already at the plasma membrane of mouse B-lymphocytes. Colocalization of BCR and Ii-MHC II on the cell surface required clustering of both types of molecules. The clustering of only one type did not trigger the recruitment of the other. Ii-bound MIF (a ligand of Ii) also colocalized with clustered BCR upon oligomerization of MIF on the surface of the B cell. Abundant surface molecules, such as B220 or TfnR, did not cocluster with the BCR. Some membrane raft-associated molecules, such as peptide-loaded MHC II, coclustered with the BCR, whereas others, such as GM1, did not. The formation of a BCR- and Ii-MHC II-containing membrane domain by antibody-mediated clustering was independent of F-actin and led to the coendocytosis of its constituents. With a rapid Brij 98 extraction method, it was possible to capture this membrane domain biochemically as a DRM. Ii and clustered BCR were present on the same DRM, as shown by immunoisolation. The coalescence of BCR and Ii-MHC II increased tyrosine phosphorylation, indicative of enhanced BCR signaling. Our work suggests a novel role for MIF and Ii-MHC II in BCR-mediated antigen processing.

Abstract
Lipid rafts, the sphingolipid and cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains, are able to form different membrane macrodomains or platforms upon stimulations, including redox signaling platforms, which serve as a critical signaling mechanism to mediate or regulate cellular activities or functions. In particular, this raft platform formation provides an important driving force for the assembling of NADPH oxidase subunits and the recruitment of other related receptors, effectors, and regulatory components, resulting, in turn, in the activation of NADPH oxidase and downstream redox regulation of cell functions. This comprehensive review attempts to summarize all basic and advanced information about the formation, regulation, and functions of lipid raft redox signaling platforms as well as their physiological and pathophysiological relevance. Several molecular mechanisms involving the formation of lipid raft redox signaling platforms and the related therapeutic strategies targeting them are discussed. It is hoped that all information and thoughts included in this review could provide more comprehensive insights into the understanding of lipid raft redox signaling, in particular, of their molecular mechanisms, spatial-temporal regulations, and physiological, pathophysiological relevances to human health and diseases.

Abstract
Compartmentalization of the BCR in membrane rafts is important for its signaling capacity. Swiprosin-1/EFhd2 (Swip-1) is an EF-hand and coiled-coil-containing adaptor protein with predicted Src homology 3 (SH3) binding sites that we identified in membrane rafts. We showed previously that Swip-1 amplifies BCR-induced apoptosis; however, the mechanism of this amplification was unknown. To address this question, we overexpressed Swip-1 and found that Swip-1 amplified the BCR-induced calcium flux in WEHI231, B62.1, and Bal17 cells. Conversely, the BCR-elicited calcium flux was strongly attenuated in Swip-1-silenced WEHI231 cells, and this was due to a decreased calcium mobilization from intracellular stores. Complementation of Swip-1 expression in Swip-1-silenced WEHI231 cells restored the BCR-induced calcium flux and enhanced spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) tyrosine phosphorylation and activity as well as SLP65/BLNK/BASH and phospholipase C gamma2 (PLCgamma2) tyrosine phosphorylation. Furthermore, Swip-1 induced the constitutive association of the BCR itself, Syk, and PLCgamma2 with membrane rafts. Concomitantly, Swip-1 stabilized the association of BCR with tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, specifically Syk and PLCgamma2, and enhanced the constitutive interaction of Syk and PLCgamma2 with Lyn. Interestingly, Swip-1 bound to the rSH3 domains of the Src kinases Lyn and Fgr, as well as to that of PLCgamma. Deletion of the predicted SH3-binding region in Swip-1 diminished its association and that of Syk and PLCgamma2 with membrane rafts, reduced its interaction with the SH3 domain of PLCgamma, and diminished the BCR-induced calcium flux. Hence, Swip-1 provides a membrane scaffold that is required for the Syk-, SLP-65-, and PLCgamma2-dependent BCR-induced calcium flux.

Abstract
Increased phosphoinositide turnover was first identified as an early signal transduction event initiated by cell surface receptors that were linked to calcium signaling. Subsequently, the generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C enzymes was defined as the major link between inositide turnover and the cytosolic Ca(2+) rise in response to external stimulation. However, in the last decades, phosphoinositides have been emerging as major regulatory lipids involved in virtually every membrane-associated signaling process. Phosphoinositides regulate both the activity and the trafficking of almost all ion channels and transporters contributing to the maintenance of the ionic gradients that are essential for the proper functioning of all eukaryotic cells. Here we summarize the various means by which phosphoinositides affect ion channel functions with special emphasis on Ca(2+) signaling and outline the principles that govern the highly compartmentalized roles of these regulatory lipids.

Abstract
Antigen binding to the B cell receptors (BCRs) induces BCR clustering, phosphorylation of BCRs by the Src family kinase Lyn, initiation of signaling, and formation of an immune synapse. We investigated B cells as they first encountered antigen on a membrane using live cell high resolution total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy in conjunction with fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Newly formed BCR microclusters perturb the local membrane microenvironment, leading to association with a lipid raft probe. This early event is BCR intrinsic and independent of BCR signaling. Association of BCR microclusters with membrane-tethered Lyn depends on Lyn activity and persists as microclusters accumulate and form an immune synapse. Membrane perturbation and BCR–Lyn association correlate both temporally and spatially with the transition of microclustered BCRs from a “closed” to an “open” active signaling conformation. Visualization and analysis of the earliest events in BCR signaling highlight the importance of the membrane microenvironment for formation of BCR–Lyn complexes and the B cell immune synapse.

Abstract
Over the past two decades our view of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) has fundamentally changed. Being initially regarded as a mute antibody orphan of the B cell surface, the BCR turned out to be a complex multimolecular machine monitoring almost all stages of B cell development, selection, and activation through a plethora of ubiquitously and cell-type-specific effector proteins. A comprehensive understanding of the many BCR signaling facets is still out but a few common biochemical principles outlined in this review operate at the level of receptor activation and orchestrate specific wiring of intracellular transducer cascades. First, initiation and processing of antigen-induced signal transduction relies on transient conformational changes in the signaling proteins to trigger their physical interaction with downstream elements. Second, this dynamic assembly of signalosomes occurs at distinct subcellular locations, most prominently the plasma membrane, which requires dynamic relocalization of one or more of the engaged molecules. For both, precise complex formation and efficient subcellular targeting, B cell signaling components are equipped with a variety of protein interaction domains. Here we provide an overview on how these simple rules are applied by a limited number of transmembrane and cytosolic proteins to convert BCR ligation into Ca(2+) mobilization and Ras activation in an adjustable manner.

Abstract
Antigen (Ag) binding to the BCR rapidly initiates two important events: a phosphorylation cascade that results in the production of secondary signaling intermediaries and the internalization of Ag-BCR complexes. Previous studies using anti-BCR antibodies (Ab) have suggested that BCR signaling is an essential requirement for BCR endocytosis and have further implicated lipid rafts as essential platforms for both BCR functions. However, published data from our laboratory indicate that lipid rafts and consequently raft-mediated signaling are dispensable for BCR-mediated internalization of Ag-specific BCR. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between BCR signaling and endocytosis by defining the role of early kinase signaling in the BCR-mediated internalization of a model Ag (haptenated protein). The results demonstrate that Src kinases and Syk-mediated BCR signaling are not essential for BCR-mediated Ag internalization. Moreover, by comparing Ag and Ab, it was determined that while both localize to clathrin-coated pits, the internalization of Ab-BCR complexes is more susceptible to inhibition of signaling and highly sensitive to disruption of lipid rafts and the actin cytoskeleton compared to Ag-BCR complexes. Thus, these results demonstrate that the nature of the ligand ultimately determines the functional requirements and relative contribution of lipid rafts and other membrane structures to the internalization of BCR-ligand complexes.

Abstract
Computer modeling can provide insights into the existence, structure, size, and thermodynamic stability of localized raft-like regions in membranes. However, the challenges in the construction and simulation of accurate models of heterogeneous membranes are great. The primary obstacle in modeling the lateral organization within a membrane is the relatively slow lateral diffusion rate for lipid molecules. Microsecond or longer time-scales are needed to fully model the formation and stability of a raft in a membra ne. Atomistic simulations currently are not able to reach this scale, but they do provide quantitative information on the intermolecular forces and correlations that are involved in lateral organization. In this chapter, the steps needed to carry out and analyze atomistic simulations of hydrated lipid bilayers having heterogeneous composition are outlined. It is then shown how the data from a molecular dynamics simulation can be used to construct a coarse-grained model for the heterogeneous bilayer that can predict the lateral organization and stability of rafts at up to millisecond time-scales.

Abstract
A ubiquitous pathway for cellular Ca(2+) influx involves 'store-operated channels' that respond to depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) pools via an as yet unknown mechanism. Due to its wide-spread expression, store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) has been considered a principal route for Ca(2+) influx. However, recent evidence has suggested that alternative pathways, activated for example by lipid metabolites, are responsible for physiological Ca(2+) influx. It is not clear if these messenger-activated Ca(2+) entry routes exist in all cells and what interaction they have with SOCE. In the present study we demonstrate that HEK-293 cells and Saos-2 cells express an arachidonic acid (AA)-activated Ca(2+) influx pathway that is distinct from SOCE on the basis of sensitivity to pharmacological blockers and depletion of cellular cholesterol. We examined the functional interaction between SOCE and the arachidonate-triggered Ca(2+) influx (denoted non-SOCE). Both Ca(2+) entry routes could underlie substantial long-lasting Ca(2+) elevations. However, the two pathways could not operate simultaneously. With cells that had an on-going SOCE response, addition of arachidonate gave two profound effects. Firstly, it rapidly inhibited SOCE. Secondly, the mode of Ca(2+) influx switched to the non-SOCE mechanism. Addition of arachidonate to naïve cells resulted in rapid activation of the non-SOCE pathway. However, this Ca(2+) entry route was very slowly engaged if the SOCE pathway was already operative. These data indicate that the SOCE and arachidonate-activated non-SOCE pathways interact in an inhibitory manner. We probed the plausible mechanisms by which these two pathways may communicate.

Abstract
B cell responses are initiated by the clustering of the B cell receptor (BCR) by the binding of multivalent antigens. Clustering leads to phosphorylation of tyrosines in the cytoplasmic domains of the BCR by the inner plasma membrane leaflet-associated Src-family kinase Lyn. At present, little is known about the earliest events after BCR clustering that precede the BCR's phosphorylation by Lyn. Here we use fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) in living cells to detect the interaction of the BCR with a Lyn-based membrane-targeted reporter in the first several seconds after BCR clustering. The results showed that, within seconds of antigen binding, the BCR selectively and transiently associated with the Lyn construct and that this association preceded by several seconds the triggering of Ca2+ fluxes and could be prolonged by the engagement of the B cell coreceptor complex, CD19/CD21. Thus, FRET measurements in living B cells revealed highly dynamic and regulated antigen-induced changes in the plasma membrane, allowing association of the BCR with the earliest components of its signaling cascade.

Abstract
T lymphocytes contain two kinetic pools of cholesterol extractable with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (m-beta-CD): a fast pool (31.5%, t1/2=17 s) and a slow pool (68.5%, t1/2=15 min). Purification of detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) shows that the fast pool corresponds to buoyant cholesterol. Cholesterol extraction of the fast pool (i.e. cholesterol from rafts) still allows the buoyancy of signaling proteins and their phosphorylation under CD3 stimulation. Cholesterol depletion of the slow pool (i.e. cholesterol from membranes other than rafts) is accompanied by the extraction of the whole raft followed by the inhibition of CD3-induced tyrosine-phosphorylations. Cholesterol oxidase (COase) allows a specific oxidation of raft cholesterol into cholestenone. Cholestenone leaves the DRMs and accumulates as Triton X-100-soluble material. Specific cholesterol-rich raft disruption by COase does not inhibit the activation of either Jurkat cells or T CD4+ lymphocytes. Our study challenges the real role of cholesterol-rich rafts in CD3/TCR signaling and suggests that a cholesterol-poor subtype of rafts is involved in signal transmission via the TCR.

Abstract
On the basis of responses to surface IgM (sIgM) cross-linking, B cells from 41 patients with B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia were categorized as 15 nonresponders (group I) and 26 responders (group II). The latter cases were subclassified as those seven where proliferation was induced (subgroup IIa) and the remaining 19 in whom apoptosis occurred (subgroup IIa). Signal disruption in group I was confirmed by the absence of Ca2+ mobilization. Activation of PI3K was constitutive in subgroup IIa, but not in subgroup IIb, and that of Akt induced by anti-mu in subgroup IIa, but not in subgroup IIb. Among the MAPK, ERK was more highly activated relative to p38 in subgroup IIa, whereas activation of p38 predominated over that of ERK in subgroup IIb. For subgroup IIb cells, based on tyrosine phosphorylation and translocation into lipid rafts, sIgM signaling was shown to be enhanced by Zap70. The different consequences of signaling through sIgM were associated with biological prognosis indicators. These included high levels of CD38, lack of mutations in the IgVH chain genes, preferential usage of full-length CD79b, and severe clinical stage. Thus, modification of sIgM-induced signaling could be a therapeutic approach.

Abstract
The adhesion molecule CD58 is involved in intercellular adhesion and in signal transduction. It is natively expressed in both a transmembrane form and a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored form, and hence provides a model for the study of two distinct membrane-anchored forms of the same protein in the same cell. We demonstrate here that the two isoforms of CD58 are localized in distinct membrane compartments. The GPI-anchored form localizes in lipid rafts, while the transmembrane form resides in nonraft domains. In addition to distinct membrane localization, the two isoforms of CD58 differ in their association with protein kinases. GPI-anchored CD58, residing in raft domains, is constitutively associated with protein kinases. However, cross-linking mediates a substantial increase in kinase activity which is predominantly associated with the transmembrane CD58 in nonraft membrane domains. The extensive inducible kinase activity, associated with transmembrane CD58, is demonstrated in wild-type cells as well as in GPI-deficient variant cells. Thus, although the transmembrane CD58 is excluded from rafts, it may trigger signaling independently of the GPI-linked isoform.

Abstract
Membrane recruitment of adaptor proteins is crucial for coupling antigen receptors to downstream signaling events. Despite the essential function of the B cell adaptor SLP-65, the mechanism of its recruitment to the plasma membrane is not yet understood. Here we show that a highly conserved leucine zipper in the SLP-65 N terminus is responsible for membrane association. Alterations in the N terminus abolished SLP-65 membrane localization and activity, both of which were restored by replacement of the N terminus with a myristoylation signal. The N terminus is an autonomous domain that confers specific localization and function when transferred to green fluorescent protein or the adaptor protein SLP-76. Our data elucidate the mechanism of SLP-65 membrane recruitment and suggest that leucine zipper motifs are essential interaction domains of signaling proteins.

Abstract
It is known from experimental studies that lipid bilayers composed of unsaturated phospholipids, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol contain microdomains rich in sphingomyelin and cholesterol. These domains are similar to "rafts" isolated from cell membranes, although the latter are much smaller in lateral size. Such domain formation can be a result of very specific and subtle lipid-lipid interactions. To identify and study these interactions, we have performed two molecular dynamics simulations, of 200-ns duration, of dioleylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), sphingomyelin (SM), and cholesterol (Chol) systems, a 1:1:1 mixture of DOPC/SM/Chol, and a 1:1 mixture of DOPC/SM. The simulations show initial stages of the onset of spontaneous phase-separated domains in the systems. On the simulation timescale cholesterol favors a position at the interface between the ordered SM region and the disordered DOPC region in the ternary system and accelerates the process of domain formation. We find that the smooth alpha-face of Chol preferentially packs next to SM molecules. Based on a comparative analysis of interaction energies, we find that Chol molecules do not show a preference for SM or DOPC. We conclude that Chol molecules assist in the process of domain formation and the process is driven by entropic factors rather than differences in interaction energies.

Abstract
Many receptors on diverse cell types activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). The lipid products of PI3K, termed 3-phosphoinositides, regulate numerous cellular processes by recruiting specific proteins to membrane signaling complexes. In the B lymphocyte lineage, PI3K activation is a critical control point at various stages of development, proliferation and differentiation. PI3K signaling is promoted by stimulatory receptors such as surface immunoglobulin, CD40, Toll-like receptors and cytokine receptors, and opposed by the inhibitory receptor FcgammaRIIB1. Genetic dissection of the PI3K pathway in mice has indicated that certain B cell functions are regulated by a limited set of PI3K isoforms and downstream effectors. Here we review our current understanding of how signals are relayed to and from PI3K in B cells.

Abstract
We have carried out an atomic-level molecular dynamics simulation of a system of nanoscopic size containing a domain of 18:0 sphingomyelin and cholesterol embedded in a fully hydrated dioleylposphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayer. To analyze the interaction between the domain and the surrounding phospholipid, we calculate order parameters and area per molecule as a function of molecule type and proximity to the domain. We propose an algorithm based on Voronoi tessellation for the calculation of the area per molecule of various constituents in this ternary mixture. The calculated areas per sphingomyelin and cholesterol are in agreement with previous simulations. The simulation reveals that the presence of the liquid-ordered domain changes the packing properties of DOPC bilayer at a distance as large as approximately 8 nm. We calculate electron density profiles and also calculate the difference in the thickness between the domain and the surrounding DOPC bilayer. The calculated difference in thickness is consistent with data obtained in atomic force microscopy experiments.

Abstract
We have carried out a molecular dynamics simulation of a hydrated 18:0 sphingomyelin lipid bilayer. The bilayer contained 1600 sphingomyelin (SM) molecules, and 50,592 water molecules. After construction and initial equilibration, the simulation was run for 3.8 ns at a constant temperature of 50 degrees C and a constant pressure of 1 atm. We present properties of the bilayer calculated from the simulation, and compare with experimental data and with properties of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers. The SM bilayers are significantly more ordered and compact than DPPC bilayers at the same temperature. SM bilayers also exhibit significant intramolecular hydrogen bonding between phosphate ester oxygen and hydroxyl hydrogen atoms. This results in a decreased hydration in the polar region of the SM bilayer compared with DPPC. Since our simulation system is very large we have calculated the power spectrum of bilayer undulation and peristaltic modes, and we compare these data with similar calculations for DPPC bilayers. We find that the SM bilayer has significantly larger bending modulus and area compressibility compared to DPPC.

Abstract
Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family play important but distinct roles in B-cell activation, as demonstrated by emerging genetic and biochemical studies. PKCbeta is indispensable for B-cell antigen receptor (BCR)-induced NF-kappaB activation and B-cell survival. Recent evidence indicates that PKCbeta might regulate inhibitor of kappaB kinase (IKK) and NF-kappaB activation through interaction with the CARMA1/Bcl10/MALT signaling complex in BCR microdomains. By contrast, the novel PKC isoform PKCdelta is specifically required to maintain the tolerance of self-reactive B cells.

Abstract
Signaling through the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) is amplified and prolonged by coligation of the BCR to the CD19/CD21/CD81 coreceptor complex. Coligation is induced during immune responses by the simultaneous binding of complement-tagged antigens to the complement receptor, CD21, and to the BCR. Enhanced signaling is due in part to the ability of the CD19/CD21/CD81 complex to stabilize the BCR in sphingolipid- and cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains termed lipid rafts. The tetraspanin CD81 is essential for the raft-stabilizing function of the coreceptor. Here we show that coligation of the BCR and the CD19/CD21/CD81 complex leads to selective, rapid, and reversible palmitoylation of CD81 and that palmitoylation is necessary for the raft stabilizing function of the CD19/CD21/CD81 complex. Inducible palmitoylation may represent a novel mechanism by which tetraspanins function to facilitate lipid raft-dependent receptor signaling.

Abstract
We have carried out atomic level molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations of hydrated 18:0 sphingomyelin (SM)-cholesterol (CHOL) bilayers at temperatures of 20 and 50 degrees C. The simulated systems each contained 266 SM, 122 CHOL, and 11861 water molecules. Each simulation was run for 10 ns under semi-isotropic pressure boundary conditions. The particle-mesh Ewald method was used for long-range electrostatic interactions. Properties of the systems were calculated over the final 3 ns. We compare the properties of 20 and 50 degrees C bilayer systems with each other, with experimental data, and with experimental and simulated properties of pure SM bilayers and dipalmitoyl phospatidyl choline (DPPC)-CHOL bilayers. The simulations reveal an overall similarity of both systems, despite the 30 degrees C temperature difference which brackets the pure SM main phase transition. The area per molecule, lipid chain order parameter profiles, atom distributions, and electron density profiles are all very similar for the two simulated systems. Consistent with simulations from our lab and others, we find strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in SM molecules between the phosphate ester oxygen and the hydroxyl hydrogen atoms. We also find that cholesterol hydroxyl groups tend to form hydrogen bonds primarily with SM carbonyl, methyl, and amide moieties and to a lesser extent methyl and hydroxyl oxygens.

Abstract
Clostridium perfringens iota-toxin consists of two separate proteins identified as a cell binding protein, iota b (Ib), which forms high-molecular-weight complexes on cells generating Na(+)/K(+)-permeable pores through which iota a (Ia), an ADP-ribosyltransferase, presumably enters the cytosol. Identity of the cell receptor and membrane domains involved in Ib binding, oligomer formation, and internalization is currently unknown. In this study, Vero (toxin-sensitive) and MRC-5 (toxin-resistant) cells were incubated with Ib, after which detergent-resistant membrane microdomains (DRMs) were extracted with cold Triton X-100. Western blotting revealed that Ib oligomers localized in DRMs extracted from Vero, but not MRC-5, cells while monomeric Ib was detected in the detergent-soluble fractions of both cell types. The Ib protoxin, previously shown to bind Vero cells but not form oligomers or induce cytotoxicity, was detected only in the soluble fractions. Vero cells pretreated with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C before addition of Ib indicated that glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored proteins were minimally involved in Ib binding or oligomer formation. While pretreatment of Vero cells with filipin (which sequesters cholesterol) had no effect, methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (which extracts cholesterol) reduced Ib binding and oligomer formation and delayed iota-toxin cytotoxicity. These studies showed that iota-toxin exploits DRMs for oligomer formation to intoxicate cells.

Abstract
7-Ketocholesterol is a component of oxidized LDL, which plays a central role in atherosclerosis. It is a potent inducer of cell death towards a wide number of cells involved in atherosclerosis. In this study, it is reported that 7-ketocholesterol treatment induces an increase of cytosolic-free Ca(2+) in THP-1 monocytic cells. This increase is correlated with the induction of cytotoxicity as suggested from experiments using the Ca(2+) channel blockers verapamil and nifedipine. This 7-ketocholesterol-induced apoptosis appears to be associated with the dephosphorylation of serine 75 and serine 99 of the proapoptotic protein Bcl-2 antagonist of cell death (BAD). We demonstrated that this dephosphorylation results mainly from the activation of calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin by the oxysterol-induced increase in Ca(2+). Moreover, this Ca(2+) increase appears related to the incorporation of 7-ketocholesterol into lipid raft domains of the plasma membrane, followed by the translocation of transient receptor potential calcium channel 1, a component of the store operated Ca(2+) entry channel, to rafts.

Abstract
AbstractCD45 is a key protein tyrosine phosphatase regulating Src-family protein tyrosine kinases (Src-PTKs) in lymphocytes; precisely how it exerts its effect remains controversial, however. We previously demonstrated that CD45 negatively regulates Lyn in the WEHI-231 B-cell line. Here we show that negative regulation by CD45 is physiologically significant in B cells and that some CD45 is constitutively associated with glycolipid-enriched microdomains (GEMs), where it inhibits Src-PTKs by dephosphorylating both the negative and the positive regulatory sites. Upon B-cell receptor (BCR) ligation, however, CD45 dissociates from GEMs within 30 seconds, inducing phosphorylation of 2 regulatory sites and activation of Src-PTKs, but subsequently reassociates with the GEMs within 15 minutes. Disruption of GEMs with methyl-β-cyclodextrin results in abrogation of BCR-induced apoptosis in WEHI-231 cells, suggesting GEMs are critical to signals leading to the fate determination. We propose that the primary function of CD45 is inhibition of Src-PTKs and that the level of Src-PTK activation and the B-cell fate are determined in part by dynamic behavior of CD45 with respect to GEMs.

Abstract
Splenic peripheral B-cell development and the events regulating this functionally significant but relatively poorly defined developmental process have become a major focus in recent studies in B-cell immunology. Following the exit from the bone marrow, peripheral B cells develop through transitional type 1 (T1) and transitional type 2 (T2) B-cell stages. Emerging data suggest that the T2 subset is the immediate precursor of the mature B-cell populations present in the spleen. In this review, we first elaborate on the evidence describing the unique properties of CD21hiCD24hiCD23hiIgMhiIgDhi T2 B cells. T2 cells uniquely activate a proliferative, pro-survival, and differentiation program in response to B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) engagement. The potential mechanisms leading to the differential BCR responsiveness of T1 versus T2 B cells are discussed. We also review evidence that distinguishes key BCR-dependent signaling pathways operative in T2 and mature B cells. These signaling cascades include a protein kinase Cbeta (PKCbeta)-dependent cell-survival pathway and a second PKCbeta-independent pathway essential for BCR-driven differentiation. Finally, we discuss recent intriguing results suggesting that the type of signal(s) encountered by T2 cells leads to their differential maturation toward the follicular mature versus marginal zone mature B-cell populations. These combined observations suggest important implications with regard to B-cell selection and tolerance, potential novel therapeutic targets for B-cell lymphomas, and how the intricate balance of commensal organisms and other microenvironmental signals interact to promote the generation of 'innate-like' versus adaptive effector B-cell populations.

Abstract
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection causes a significant polyclonal expansion of CD5(+), IgM+ B lymphocytes known as persistent lymphocytosis (PL) in approximately 30% of infected cattle. There is evidence that this expanded B cell population has altered signaling, and resistance to apoptosis has been proposed as one mechanism of B cell expansion. In human and murine B cells, antigen binding initiates movement of the B cell receptor (BCR) into membrane microdomains enriched in sphingolipids and cholesterol, termed lipid rafts. Lipid rafts include members of the Src-family kinases and exclude certain phosphatases. Inclusion of the BCR into lipid rafts plays an important role in regulation of early signaling events and subsequent antigen internalization. Viral proteins may also influence signaling events in lipid rafts. Here we demonstrate that the largely CD5(+) B cell population in PL cattle has different mobilization and internalization of the BCR when compared to the largely CD5-negative B cells in BLV-negative cattle. Unlike B cells from BLV-negative cattle, the BCR in B cells of BLV-infected, PL cattle resists movement into lipid rafts upon stimulation and is only weakly internalized. Expression of viral proteins as determined by detection of the BLV transmembrane (TM) envelope glycoprotein gp30 did not alter these events in cells from PL cattle. This exclusion of the BCR from lipid rafts may, in part, explain signaling differences seen between B cells of BLV-infected, PL, and BLV-negative cattle and the resistance to apoptosis speculated to contribute to persistent lymphocytosis.

E-selectin, an endothelial cell surface adhesion receptor for leukocytes, also acts as a signaling receptor. Upon multivalent ligation, E-selectin transduces outside-in signals into the endothelium leading to changes in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. In addition, following leukocyte engagement, E-selectin associates via its cytoplasmic domain with components of the actin cytoskeleton and undergoes alterations in phosphorylation state that result in changes in gene expression. In this study, we show that E-selectin is localized in cholesterol-rich lipid rafts at the cell surface, and that upon ligation E-selectin clusters and redistributes in the plasma membrane colocalizing with a fraction of caveolin-1-containing rafts. In addition, we demonstrate that leukocyte adhesion via E-selectin results in association with and activation of phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma). Moreover, we show that disruption of lipid rafts with the cholesterol-depleting drug methyl-beta-cyclodextrin disrupts the raft localization of E-selectin as well as the ligation-induced association of E-selectin with PLCgamma, and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma. In contrast, cholesterol depletion has no effect on E-selectin-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Thus, these findings demonstrate that the presence of E-selectin in lipid rafts is necessary for its association with, and activation of, PLCgamma, and suggest that this subcellular localization of E-selectin is related to its signaling function(s) during leukocyte-endothelial interactions.

Abstract
The cells of both the adaptive and innate immune systems express a dizzying array of receptors that transduce and integrate an enormous amount of information about the environment that allows the cells to mount effective immune responses. Over the past several years, significant advances have been made in elucidating the molecular details of signal cascades initiated by the engagement of immune cell receptors by their ligands. Recent evidence indicates that immune receptors and components of their signaling cascades are spatially organized and that this spatial organization plays a central role in the initiation and regulation of signaling. A key organizing element for signaling receptors appears to be cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich plasma membrane microdomains termed lipid rafts. Research into the molecular basis of the spatial segregation and organization of signaling receptors provided by rafts is adding fundamentally to our understanding of the initiation and prolongation of signals in the immune system.

Abstract
Studies of PLCgamma (phospholipase Cgamma) have identified a number of regulatory components required for signalling; however, molecular mechanisms and the relationship between events leading to translocation and an increase of substrate hydrolysis have not been well defined. The addition of a membrane-targeting tag to many signal transducers results in constitutive activation, suggesting that these processes could be closely linked and difficult to dissect. The present study of PLCgamma2 regulation by cross-linking of the BCR (B-cell antigen receptor) or H2O2 stress in DT40 B-cells, demonstrated that the membrane targeting is a separate step from further changes that result in enzyme activation and substrate hydrolysis. Furthermore, we have defined the roles of different domains of PLCgamma2 and, using a panel of cell lines deficient in components linked to PLCgamma2 regulation, the involvement of signalling molecules with respect to each of the steps. We have found that only the lipid-raft-targeted Lyn-PLCgamma2 construct, unlike non-specific membrane targeting, overcame the requirement for the adapter protein BLNK (B-cell linker). The stable expression of Lyn-PLCgamma2 was not accompanied by an increase in substrate hydrolysis in resting cells, which followed stimulation and specifically required the presence and/or activation of Syk, Btk, phosphoinositide 3-kinase but not BLNK, as established using deficient cell lines or specific inhibitors. Based on mutational analysis of the specific tyrosine residues [Tyr753-->Phe (Y753F)/Y759F] and SH2 (Src homology 2) domains (R564A/R672A) in the context of Lyn-PLCgamma2, we found that Tyr753/Tyr759 were essential, whereas the PLCgamma2 SH2 domains did not have an important role in the transient activation of Lyn-PLCgamma2 but may serve to stabilize an activated form in sustained activation.

Abstract
We examined the role of BCR cell membrane redistribution in anti-IgM-induced apoptosis in three human B cell lines, RA#1, 2G6, and MC116, that differ in their relative levels of sIgM expression. The apoptotic response was found to be dependent on the nature of the anti-IgM and the cell line. In the cell lines, RA#1 and MC116, sIgM aggregated into patches that were insensitive to the disruption of cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains by nystatin or beta-MCD. The B cell line 2G6 was able to reorganize sIgM into a tight coalescent cap upon anti-IgM treatment. However, in this case, the lipid raft inhibitors nystatin and beta-MCD disrupted the patching. In 2G6 cells, BCR-mediated apoptosis was not affected by nystatin treatment, whereas it increased in beta-MCD pretreated cells. Thus, no evident correlation was found between apoptosis and BCR cell membrane redistribution or lipid raft formation in either of the three cell lines. The data indicate that the apoptotic signal transduction pathway is independent of BCR translocation into lipid rafts and/or aggregation.

Abstract
Apoptosis is an essential feature of development and homeostasis in higher organisms. Lipid rafts are subdomains of the plasma membrane that contain high concentrations of cholesterol and sphingolipids. In response to intra or extracellular stimuli, lipid rafts can include or exclude proteins to variable extents. This favors specific protein-protein interactions and modulates the activity of signaling cascades. Recently, a number of proteins involved in apoptotic signals have been located in lipid rafts. Among these proteins is included Bad, a pro-apoptotic molecule belonging to the Bcl-2 family. Bad is attached to lipid rafts in proliferating cells while associated to mitochondria in apoptotic cells, suggesting that the interaction of Bad with rafts is a dynamic process involved in the control of apoptosis. In this review, we briefly summarize the structure of rafts and illustrate their contribution to the control of apoptosis.
