Palmitoylation is required for efficient Fas cell death signaling

Abstract: Localization of the death receptor Fas to specialized membrane microdomains is crucial to Fas-mediated cell death signaling. Here, we report 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. Palmitoylation is required for the redistribution of Fas to actin cytoskeleton-linked rafts upon Fas stimulation and for… Show more

“…Increased Fas-induced apoptosis caused by ezrin knockdown was found in normal lymphocytes and H9 cells, but not in Jurkat and CEM cells. In contrast to reports that ezrin is essential for Fas-initiated apoptosis (Parlato et al, 2000;Piazzolla et al, 2005;Chakrabandhu et al, 2007;He´bert et al, 2008), our results support an alternative view that ezrin inactivation and dissociation from actin enhance Fas-induced cell death (Kondo et al, 1997;Ramaswamy et al, 2007). The opposite results found for the function of ezrin were unlikely to be due to the use of different reagents; the ezrin-specific siRNA used in this study was identical to that used in a recent study illustrating the positive effect of ezrin in Fas-triggered apoptosis in Jurkat cells (He´bert et al, 2008).…”

“…Internalization of Fas is required for efficient DISC formation and caspase-8 activation (Lee et al, 2006;Chakrabandhu et al, 2007). Ezrin-actin association is reported to be required for endocytosis of Fas in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and L12.10 cells (Piazzolla et al, 2005;Chakrabandhu et al, 2007Chakrabandhu et al, , 2008.…”
