## ABSTRACT A typical feature of epithelial cells is the polarized distribution of their respective plasma membrane proteins. Apical and basolateral proteins can be sorted both in the transβGolgi network and endosomes, or in both locations. Inclusion into basolateral carriers in the TGN requires th

β¦ Synopsis
The structure and dynamics of the plasma membrane are proposed to be critical for the initial steps of signal transduction by the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor. Recent experimental advances indicate that interactions between the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor and the tyrosine kinase Lyn with cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich regions within the plasma membrane are important for receptor function. This accumulating evidence points to spatio-temporal control of immunoglobulin E receptor signaling by the organization of the plasma membrane; an attractive hypothesis is that ligand-dependent receptor aggregation causes the segregation of Lyn-containing ordered regions of the plasma membrane from disordered regions.
