The spatial segregation of the plasma membrane plays a prominent role in distinguishing and sorting a large number of signals a cell receives simultaneously. The plasma membrane comprises regions known as lipid rafts, which serve as signal-transduction hubs and platforms for sorting membrane-associated proteins. Ca(2+)-binding proteins of the annexin family have been ascribed a role in the regulation of raft dynamics. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored 5'-nucleotidase is an extracellular, raft-associated enzyme responsible for conversion of extracellular ATP into adenosine. Our results point to a regulation of ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity by Ca(2+)-dependent, annexin-mediated stabilization of membrane rafts.
