Palmitoylation is required for efficient Fas cell death signaling

TL;DR: It is reported that the post‐translational modification of Fas by palmitoylation at the membrane proximal cysteine residue in the cytoplasmic region is the targeting signal for Fas localization to lipid rafts, as demonstrated in both cell‐free and living cell systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion analysis within single nanometric apertures reveals the ultrafine cell membrane organization.

TL;DR: A new methodology to probe the plasma membrane organization of living cells at the nanometric scale by performing fluorescence correlation spectroscopy with increasing aperture sizes and extracting information on the diffusion process from the whole set of data is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fas ligand is localized to membrane rafts, where it displays increased cell death–inducing activity

TL;DR: It is concluded that FasL is recruited into lipid rafts for maximum Fas receptor contact and cell death-inducing potency, raising the possibility that certain pathologic conditions may be treated by altering the cellDeath-inducing capability of FasL with drugs affecting its raft localization.
