We analyzed the role of gangliosides in the association of the ErbB2 recep-tor tyrosine-kinase (RTK) with lipid rafts in mammary epithelial HC11 cells. Scanning confocal microscopy experiments revealed a strict ErbB2– GM3 colocalization in wild-type cells.

Scanning confocal microscopy experiments revealed a strict ErbB2-GM3 colocalization in wild-type cells. In addition analysis of membrane fractions obtained using a linear sucrose gradient showed that ErbB2 epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR and Shc-p66 proteins correlated with the ErbB2 signal transduction pathway were preferentially enriched in lipid rafts together with gangliosides. Blocking of endogenous ganglioside synthesis by - -threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpho-lino-1-propanol hydrochloride D -PDMP induced a drastic cell-surface redistribution of ErbB2 EGFR and Shc-p66 within the Triton-soluble fractions as revealed by linear sucrose-gradient analysis. This redistribution was partially reverted when exogenous GM3 was added to ganglioside-depleted HC11 cells. The results point out the key role of ganglioside GM3 in retaining ErbB2 and signal-transduction-correlated .
