Association of decreased membrane protein phosphorylation with red blood cell spherocytosis.

چکیده
A close association between sphering of human red cells and deficient phosphorylation of their membrane proteins has been documented in three spearate situations. Red cells rendered spheroidal by exposure to: (1) elevated temperatures; (2) two sulfhydryl inhibitors (N-ethylmaleimide or paramercuribenzoate); or (3) in the genetic situation of hereditary spherocytosis--all manifest deficient phosphorylation of endogenous membrane proteins by ATP. In the two former cases, we have noted an exact association between the onset of red cell sphering (e.g., as temperatures rose above 48 degrees C or N-ethylmaleimide concentrations exceeded 2 mumoles/ml RBC) and the development of deficient ghost protein phosphorylation.

Background: Erythrocytes require an ability to deform and to withstand shear stress while negotiating the microcirculation. These properties are largely due to their excess surface area per volume and the characteristics of the membrane’s protein. Deficiencies of these proteins are associated with chronic haemolysis. Methods: This was a cross sectional study aimed at determining the prevalenc...

A somewhat simplified modification of a previously described method for the measurement of red cell membrane phosphorylation by ATP has been devised. Phosphorylation of membranes was linear with time for only 5-10 min, and linearity with membrane concentration was observed only when assays were limited to short incubation times. Protein kinase activity of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) membranes...

We describe a duplication of 10 nucleotides (2,455-2,464) in the band 3 gene in a kindred with autosomal dominant hereditary spherocytosis and a partial deficiency of the band 3 protein that is reflected by decreased rate of transmembrane sulfate flux and decreased density of intramembrane particles. The mutant allele potentially encodes an abnormal band 3 protein with a 3.5-kD COOH-terminal tr...

Hereditary spherocytosis and elliptocytosis are the two most common inherited red cell membrane disorders resulting from mutations in genes encoding various red cell membrane and skeletal proteins. Red cell membrane, a composite structure composed of lipid bilayer linked to spectrin-based membrane skeleton is responsible for the unique features of flexibility and mechanical stability of the cel...
