LAT palmitoylation: its essential role in membrane microdomain targeting and tyrosine phosphorylation during T cell activation.
Immunity - 1 Aug 1998

Abstract excerpt
The linker molecule LAT is a critical substrate of the tyrosine kinases activated upon TCR engagement. Phosphorylated LAT binds Grb2, PLC-gamma1, and other signaling molecules. We demonstrate that human LAT is palmitoylated and that palmitoylated LAT predominantly localizes into glycolipid-enriched microdomains (GEMs). Although the LAT transmembrane domain is sufficient for membrane localization, palmitoylation...
