Journal ArticleDOI

Functionally different GPI proteins are organized in different domains on the neuronal surface.

TL;DR: A structural diversity of the domains occupied by functionally different GPI proteins is demonstrated: Thy‐1, a negative regulator of transmembrane signalling; and prion protein, whose rapid endocytosis and Cu2+ binding suggest that it functions in metal ion uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of internalization of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored prion protein

TL;DR: It is demonstrated, in primary cultured neurons and the N2a neural cell line, that prion protein is rapidly and constitutively endocytosed, an activity dependent upon its initial basic residues (NH2‐KKRPKP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmembrane asymmetry and lateral domains in biological membranes.

TL;DR: Biological rafts are in general of nm scale, and almost certainly differ in size and stability in inner and outer monolayers, and any coupling between rafts in the two leaflets is probably transient and dependent not upon the properties of lipids, but on transmembrane proteins within the rafts.
