PM, plasma membrane; DRM, detergent-resistant membrane; WT, wildtype; ΔN, N-terminal deletion; ΔC, C-terminal deletion; ΔCC, coiled-coil deletion; IM, intramembrane domain; CRAC, cholesterol recognition/interaction amino acid consensus sequence; CARC, reverse CRAC motif; PHB, prohibitin homology domain; SPFH, stomatin-prohibitin-flotillin-HflK/C domain; ORA, oligomerization and lipid raft association domain; +, positive; -, negative; (+), lower than WT; (+)* denotes the unclear condition of Phe91Ala oligomers, which rather appear like unspecific aggregates (Fig 3, left panel; Table 2).
