In contrast to previous results, a recent study demonstrated that a LAT construct not present in the buoyant DRMs is fully able to support TCR signaling and development of T cells in vivo. This finding caused doubts about the real physiological role of rafts in TCR signaling. In this study, we demonstrate that these results can be explained by the existence of a novel type of membrane raft-like microdomains, containing a number of membrane molecules. At a moderate level of expression, LAT supported TCR signaling more efficiently than constructs targeted to the microdomains producing heavy DRMs or to nonraft membrane. We suggest that different types of membrane microdomains provide environments regulating the functional efficiencies of signaling molecules present therein.
