1 Chinese Bulletin of Life Sciences Vol. 16, No. 3 Jun., (2004) / GPI (GPI) Q241 Q257 R37 A Lipid rafta gateway for passing through the cell membrane for pathogens ZHOU YiRan, SONG JianGuo (Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai , China) Abstract: Lipid rafts are membrane structure enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids, and form liquid ordered domains of decreased membrane fluidity. Lipid rafts play important roles in many biological processes including transmembrane signal transduction, endocytosis, lipid and protein sorting, and so on. Two principal proteins modifications are found in lipid rafts: one is covalent binding to glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), the other is myristoylization. A series of GPIanchored proteins are identified as receptors of many different pathogen organisms. Increasing amount of reports demonstrate that many pathogens (bacteria, parasites, and viruses) and toxins preferentially utilize rafts for interacting with their target cells, entry, replication and infection. Also, the lipid raft domains provide sites for assembly and budding of certain viruses. The progress in understanding the roles of lipid rafts in pathogen infections may facilitate the development of new strategies for antiinfections. rafts) [1] (microdomain) (lipid (1976 ) (1956 )
