Abstract excerpt
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...
