Spectrin - Deficient Erythrocytes
In order to characterize chronically accelerated erythropoiesis. we studied the ultrastructure of bone marrow and spleen of ha/ha and sph/sph mice. two mutants with profound hemolytic anemia secondary to deficiency of the erythrocyte membrane protein spectrin. The marrows and spleens of both varieties were extremely erythropoietic and were without histological abnormalities directly related to ...
متن کاملATP-dependent mechanism protects spectrin against glycation in human erythrocytes.
Human erythrocytes are continuously exposed to glucose, which reacts with the amino terminus of the β-chain of hemoglobin (Hb) to form glycated Hb, HbA1c, levels of which increase with the age of the circulating cell. In contrast to extensive insights into glycation of hemoglobin, little is known about glycation of erythrocyte membrane proteins. In the present study, we explored the conditions ...
متن کاملDiminished spectrin extraction from ATP-depleted human erythrocytes. Evidence relating spectrin to changes in erythrocyte shape and deformability.
We measured spectrin "extractability" in erythrocytes which were metabolically depleted by incubation at 37 degrees C in plasma or glucose-free buffers. Membranes were extracted with 1 mM EDTA (pH 8, 40 h, 4 degrees C) and analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. This procedure solubilized 85--90% of the spectrin, actin, and residual hemoglobin from ghosts of fr...
متن کاملBlood Flow: Metalloproteases Cut Loose in Primitive Erythrocytes
Little is known about how blood begins to flow during development. A new study shows that release of primitive blood cells in the zebrafish embryo is synchronized and mediated by a metalloprotease.
متن کاملRelease of spectrin-free vesicles from human erythrocytes during ATP depletion: 1. characterization of spectrin-free vesicles
Human erythrocytes incubated without glucose at 37 degrees C (in vitro aging) release spectrin-free vesicles after 12 or more hours. The release of vesicles is dependent upon ATP depletion. If the endogenous level of ATP is maintained, vesicle release is completely inhibited up to 54 h. Vesicle release is independent of hemolysis because in vitro aged cells and cells that maintain their ATP lev...
