Interactions between aerolysin, erythrocytes, and erythrocyte membranes.
Aerolysin, a hemolytic and lethal exotoxin of Aeromonas hydrophila, was analyzed for amino acids. Assuming 8 histidine residues/mol, the purified toxic protein has, by summation, a molecular weight of 49,000, a value in agreement with earlier estimates by other methods. Erythrocytes from different animal species differ greatly in sensitivity to aerolysin's lytic action. There is some correlatio...
متن کاملCalmodulin Interactions with Erythrocyte Membranes
Two new vascular smooth muscle relaxants, bepridil and cetiedil, were found to possess specific CaM-inhibitory properties which resembled those of trifluoperazine. Trifluoperazine, bepridil, and cetiedil inhibited Ca2+-dependent '251-CaM binding to erythrocyte membranes and CaM activation of membrane Ca2+-ATPase with IC50 values of -12, 17, and -40 MAM, respectively. This does not appear to be ...
متن کاملInteractions between black lipid membranes and the loosely bound proteins from erythrocyte membranes.
The loosely bound proteins from human erythrocyte membranes induce an up to more than 103-fold increase in the electrical conductivity of black lipid membranes made from oxidized cholesterol. The conductivity increase continues until the membrane breaks. Its magnitude insreases with increasing protein concentration and salt concentration. The results are compared with earlier results obtained w...
متن کاملInteractions of chrysotile asbestos with erythrocyte membranes.
Chrysotile asbestos causes lysis of red blood cells. It has been proposed that the mechanism of hemolysis is mediated through interactions between asbestos and cell membrane glycoproteins. Our studies support this concept and the following results are reported. Electron microscopy shows that asbestos fibers distort red blood cells and bind to cell membranes which may become wrapped around the f...
متن کاملEffective interactions between fluid membranes.
A self-consistent theory is proposed for the general problem of interacting undulating fluid membranes subject to the constraint that they do not interpenetrate. We implement the steric constraint via an exact functional integral representation and, through the use of a saddle-point approximation, transform it into a novel effective steric potential. The steric potential is found to consist of ...
