Tropomyosin modulates erythrocyte membrane stability.
The ternary complex of spectrin, actin, and 4.1R (human erythrocyte protein 4.1) defines the nodes of the erythrocyte membrane skeletal network and is inseparable from membrane stability under mechanical stress. These junctions also contain tropomyosin (TM) and the other actin-binding proteins, adducin, protein 4.9, tropomodulin, and a small proportion of capZ, the functions of which are poorly...

متن کاملActin Dynamics: Tropomyosin Provides Stability
Tropomyosin stabilizes actin filaments, while ADF/cofilin promotes their disassembly. These two proteins compete with each other for binding to the actin filament, providing a critical balance for actin assembly in vivo.
متن کاملAnalysis of integral membrane protein contributions to the deformability and stability of the human erythrocyte membrane.
Three major hypotheses have been proposed to explain the role of membrane-spanning proteins in establishing/maintaining membrane stability. These hypotheses ascribe the essential contribution of integral membrane proteins to (i) their ability to anchor the membrane skeleton to the lipid bilayer, (ii) their capacity to bind and stabilize membrane lipids, and (iii) their ability to influence and ...
متن کاملLocalization of Erythrocyte Membrane
The reactions of three organic mercurial compounds, chlormerodrin, parachloromercuribenzoate (PCMB), and parachloromercuribenzenesulfonate (PCMBS) with intact red blood cells, hemolyzed red cells, hemoglobin solutions, and hemoglobin-free ghosts have been characterized. Both PCMB and PCMBS react with only 2 to 3 sulfhydryl groups per mole of hemoglobin in solution, whereas chlormerodrin reacts ...
