A physical and functional link between cholesterol and tetraspanins

Abstract: By interacting with each others, the tetraspanins are thought to assemble a network of molecular interactions, the tetraspanin web. These tetraspanin/tetraspanin interactions involve in part the palmitoylation of the proteins. We show that tetraspanins interact with cholesterol as indicated by the precipitation of tetraspanin/tetraspanin complexes by digitonin, a cholesterol-precipitating reagent, and the labeling of the tetraspanins CD9, CD81 and CD82 with a photoactivatable cholesterol in vivo. Cholesterol m… Show more

“…There are controversial data in the literature about the role of cholesterol in the assembly of TERMs [7,36]. To compare effects of ganglioside and cholesterol depletion on the distribution of CD82-associated proteins we incubated HB2/CD82 cells with 20 mM MβCD for 1 h. Typically, after this treatment we removed approx.…”
