Regulation of the interaction of purified human erythrocyte AMP deaminase and the human erythrocyte membrane.

چکیده
The binding of purified human erythrocyte AMP deaminase to human erythrocyte membranes and the effect of binding on enzyme catalytic activity was investigated. AMP deaminase binds preferentially and specifically to the cytoplasmic surface of the erythrocyte membrane. The binding is saturable, reversible, and responsive to alterations of pH, of ionic strength, and of ATP and AMP concentrations. A limited number (approximately equal to 2.2 X 10(4) per erythrocyte) of apparently homogeneous high affinity (Ka approximately equal to 2.6 X 10(7) M-1) binding sites is present. The stability of purified and endogenously bound AMP deaminase is markedly improved by the interaction with the membrane, whereas the catalytic activity of AMP deaminase is sharply reduced. AMP deaminase displaces membrane bound glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in roughly a dose-response manner. No evidence for binding of AMP deaminase to spectrin or band 3 (the G3PD binding protein) was found in sucrose gradients, however. The interaction of AMP deaminase with the erythrocyte membrane may play an important role in the regulation of cellular adenine nucleotide metabolism.

متن کاملHuman Erythrocyte Superoxide Dismutase Encapsulated in Positively Charged Liposomes
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important antioxidant that protects many types of cells from the free radical damage. One of the possible ways for the use of SOD is its incorporation in liposomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cationic phospholipids on the entrapment of human erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) in liposomes. Also, in the present study, w...

Erythrocyte membrane leakage of Ca2+ in familial phosphofructokinase deficiency results in a compensatory increase of Ca2+-ATPase activity that depletes ATP and leads to diminished erythrocyte deformability and a higher rate of hemolysis. Lowered ATP levels in circulating erythrocytes are accompanied by increased IMP, indicating that activated AMP deaminase plays a role in this metabolic dysreg...
