Myosin content and distribution in human neonatal erythrocytes are different from adult erythrocytes.
Neonatal erythrocytes (N-RBC) are different from adult erythrocytes (A-RBC). N-RBC are larger, less deformable, and undergo enhanced spontaneous and drug-induced endocytosis. The reticulocyte population of N-RBC is also different, consisting primarily of the youngest (R1) reticulocytes that are motile and capable of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Processes such as motility could require a contr...
متن کاملMyosin from human erythrocytes.
We have purified myosin from human erythrocytes using methods similar to that for other cytoplasmic myosins with a yield of about 500 micrograms/100 ml of packed cells. It consists of a 200-kDa heavy chain and light chains of 26- and 19.5 kDa and therefore differs from the isozyme in platelets which has light chains of 20- and 15 kDa. At low ionic strength, the myosin forms short bipolar filame...
متن کاملCatecholamine content of human erythrocytes.
We used high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection to measure the catecholamine content of human erythrocytes. The ratio of free norepinephrine to epinephrine was three to four times lower than that in plasma and four to seven times lower than that in platelets. This suggests differences in uptake, degradation, or conjugation of norepinephrine and epinephrine by eryth...
متن کاملCalcium distribution within human erythrocytes.
In order to study 45Ca distribution within erythrocytes, a method was devised that had minimal deleterious effects on the treated erythrocytes. It was observed that newly introduced 45Ca was predominantly recoverable from the cytosol and exchanged relatively slowly with membrane-associated Ca. Younger erythrocytes appeared to have relatively more 45Ca in membrane-associated sites. Erythrocytes ...
متن کاملDomains of receptor mobility and endocytosis in the membranes of neonatal human erythrocytes in the membranes of neonatal human erythrocytes and reticulocytes are deficient in spectrin
It has previously shown (Schekman, R., and S.J. Singer, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 73:4075-4079) that receptors in the membranes of neonatal human erythrocytes show a restricted degree of lateral mobility, whereas in adult human erythrocytes the receptors are essentially immobile. This restricted mobility is exhibited, for example, when concanavalin A (Con A) induces a limited clustering of ...
