Mg2+ is required for restoring a low cation permeability of erythrocyte membranes after osmotic lysis. These ions promote binding of haemoglobin to the ghost membrane. Because the optimal binding occurs at a pH where the K+ retention by ghosts is maximal, the possibility exists that Mg2+ exerts an indirect effect by facilitating the adsorption of haemoglobin, which may be essential for the maintenance of a low permeability. In order to investigate this possibility, a systematic study was done of the effects of pH and hypotonic washing on the retention of haemoglobin, Mg2+ and K+ by human erythrocyte ghosts.Between pH 5.5 and 7.5, the retention of haemoglobin paralleled that of K+ and Mg2+ on resealing immediately after lysis. Such a parallelism was not observed if ghosts were both washed with fresh haemolytic media and resuspended in a medium of lower osmolarity before reversal.No correspondence was found between ghost K+ content and membrane-bound haemoglobin, indicating that the latter is not involved in the maintenance of a low permeability. By contrast, Mg2+ binding was altered by pH in the same way as ghost K+ and a strict relationship between membrane-bound Mg2+ and K+ retention was obtained.The results suggest that K+ permeability is mainly determined by the amount of Mg2+ associated with the ghost membrane. 相似文献

A kinetic and quantitative analysis of the binding and fusion of Sendai virus with erythrocyte membranes was performed by using a membrane fusion assay based on the relief of fluorescence self-quenching. At 37 degrees C, the process of virus association displayed a half time of 2.5 min; at 4 degrees C, the half time was 3.0 min. The fraction of the viral dose which became cell associated was independent of the incubation temperature and increased with increasing target membrane concentration. On the average, one erythrocyte ghost can accommodate ca. 1,200 Sendai virus particles. The stability of viral attachment was sensitive to a shift in temperature: a fraction of the virions (ca. 30%), attached at 4 degrees C, rapidly (half time, ca. 2.5 min) eluted from the cell surface at 37 degrees C, irrespective of the presence of free virus in the medium. The elution can be attributed to a spontaneous, temperature-induced release, rather than to viral neuraminidase activity. Competition experiments with nonlabeled virus revealed that viruses destined to fuse do not exchange with free particles in the medium but rather bind in a rapid and irreversible manner. The fusion rate of Sendai virus was affected by the density of the virus particles on the cell surface and became restrained when more than 170 virus particles were attached per ghost. In principle, all virus particles added displayed fusion activity. However, at high virus-to-ghost ratios, only a fraction actually fused, indicating that a limited number of fusion sites exist on the erythrocyte membrane. We estimate that ca. 180 virus particles maximally can fuse with one erythrocyte ghost. 相似文献

The effects of pH, trypsin, and phospholipase C on the topographic distribution of acidic anionic residues on human erythrocytes was investigated using colloidal iron hydroxide labeling of mounted, fixed ghost membranes. After glutaraldehyde fixation at pH 6.5–7.5, the positively charged colloidal particles were bound to the membranes in small randomly distributed clusters. The clusters of anionic sites were reversibly aggregated by incubation at pH 5.5 before fixation at the same pH. These results correlate with the distribution of intramembranous particles found by Pinto da Silva (J. Cell Biol. 53:777), with the exception that the distribution of anionic sites on a majority of the fixed ghosts at pH 4.5 was aggregated instead of dispersed. The randomly distributed clusters could be nonreversibly aggregated by trypsin or phospholipase C treatment of intact ghosts before glutaraldehyde fixation. Previous glutaraldehyde fixation prevented trypsin and pH induced aggregation of the colloidal iron sites. Evidence that N-acetylneuraminic acid groups are the principal acidic residues binding colloidal iron was the elimination of greater than 85% of the colloidal iron labeling to neuraminidase-treated cell membranes. Colloidal iron binding N-acetylneuraminic acid residues may reside on membrane molecules such as glycophorin, a sialoglycoprotein which contains the majority of the N-acetylneuraminic acid found on the human erythrocyte membrane. 相似文献

Intramembrane particle aggregation in erythrocyte ghosts. II. The influence of spectrin aggregation. 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
Physicochemical properties of mixtures of spectrin and actin extracted from human erythrocyte ghosts have been correlated with ultrastructural changes observed in freeze-fractured erythrocyte membranes. (1) Extracted mixtures of spectrin and actin have a very low solubility (less than 30 mug/ml) near their isoelectric point, pH 4.8. These mixtures are also precipitated by low concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+, polylysine or basic proteins. (2) All conditions which precipitate extracts of spectrin and actin also induce aggregation of the intramembrane particles in spectrin-depleted erythrocyte ghosts. Precipitation of the residual spectrin molecules into small patches on the cytoplasmic surface of the ghost membrane is thought to be the cause of particle aggregations, implying an association between the spectrin molecules and the intramembrane particles. (3) When fresh ghosts are exposed to conditions which precipitate extracts of spectrin and actin, only limited particle aggregation occurs. Instead, the contraction of the intact spectrin meshwork induced by the precipitation conditions compresses the lipid bilayer of the membrane, causing it to bleb off particle-free, protein-free vesicles. (4) The absence of protein in these lipid vesicles implies that all the proteins of the erythrocyte membrane are immobilized by association with either the spectrin meshwork or the intramembrane particles. 相似文献

The process of the formation of vesicles from pigeon erythrocyte membranes was studied. Mildly alkaline solutions of low ionic strength, which reduce human erythrocyte membranes to small vesicles depleted of spectrin and other proteins, have no such effect on pigeon erythrocyte ghosts. A distinct phase of removal of membrane proteins, including spectrin, began to occur only when pigeon erythrocyte membranes were exposed to 0.2 mM EDTA adjusted to pH values above 10.2. Vesicles which demonstrated Na+-dependent amino acid transport were generated between the pH values 10.8 and 11.4. The results show that peripheral proteins, notably spectrin, maintain the integrity of the pigeon erythrocyte ghost. The interaction of these proteins with the membrane is rather different from that well studied in the human erythrocyte ghost and the possible significance of this for the pigeon erythrocyte is discussed. 相似文献

We have used freeze-etching and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to study the conditions under which the intramembrane particles of the human erythrocyte ghost may be aggregated. The fibrous membrane protein, spectrin, can be almost entirely removed from erythrocyte ghosts with little or no change in the distribution of the particles. However, after spectrin depletion, particle aggregation in the plane of the membrane may be induced by conditions which cause little aggregation in freshly prepared ghosts. This suggests that the spectrin molecules form a molecular meshwork which limits the translational mobility of the erythrocyte membrane particles. 相似文献

The uptake of macromolecules by erythrocytes can be achieved with the electrical breakdown technique [2, 4]. In this technique the erythrocyte membranes are subjected to a high external electrical field pulse for a short period. Local, reversible breakdowns of the cell membrane occur above a critical field strength which lead to a time-dependent increase in the permeability of the membrane. By this means, human erythrocyte membranes can be made permeable to DNA, pharmaceutical compounds, and latex particles following an electrical field pulse [1, 3, 5]. Larger particles should also be taken up by erythrocytes using this method. Vienken et al. [5] demonstrated the entrapment of latex particles with a diameter of 0.091 micron in human erythrocyte ghosts, although this was shown with only a single electron micrograph which does not prove that the ghost membrane was intact. In our experiments in order to entrap latex particles with a diameter of 0.26 micron rat erythrocytes were subjected to an electrical field pulse of 12 kV/cm with a decay time of 60 microseconds. Experiments using the electron microscope show that after such an electrical field pulse the uptake of latex particles by rat erythrocytes follows the stomatocytotic pathway. We show further that using electron microscopic techniques, a single section cannot demonstrate the completed uptake of a latex particle by the erythrocyte. 相似文献

A method for isolating plasma membrane fragments from HeLa cells is described. The procedure starts with the preparation of cell membrane "ghosts," obtained by gentle rupture of hypotonically swollen cells, evacuation of most of the cell contents by repeated washing, and isolation of the ghosts on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient. The ghosts are then treated by minimal sonication (5 sec) at pH 8.6, which causes the ghost membranes to pinch off into small vesicles but leaves any remaining larger intracellular particulates intact and separable by differential centrifugation. The ghost membrane vesicles are then subjected to isopycnic centrifugation on a 20–50% w/w continuous sucrose gradient in tris-magnesium buffer, pH 8.6. A band of morphologically homogeneous smooth vesicles, derived principally from plasma membrane, is recovered at 30–33% (peak density = 1.137). The plasma membrane fraction contained a Na-K-activated ATPase activity of 1.5 µmole Pi/hr per mg, 3% RNA, and 13.8% of the NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity of a heavier fraction from the same gradient which contained mitochondria and rough endoplasmic vesicles. The plasma membranes of viable HeLa cells were marked with 125I-labeled horse antibody and followed through the isolation procedure. The specific antibody binding of the plasma membrane vesicle fraction was increased 49-fold over that of the original whole cells. 相似文献

Carboxypeptidase Y digestion of band 3, the anion transport protein of human erythrocyte membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The exposure of the carboxyl-terminal of the Band 3 protein of human erythrocyte membranes in intact cells and membrane preparations to proteolytic digestion was determined. Carboxypeptidase Y digestion of purified Band 3 in the presence of non-ionic detergent released amino acids from the carboxyl-terminal of Band 3. The release of amino acids was very pH dependent, digestion being most extensive at pH 3, with limited digestion at pH 6 or above. The 55,000 dalton carboxyl-terminal fragment of Band 3, generated by mild trypsin digestion of ghost membranes, had the same carboxyl-terminal sequence as intact Band 3, based on carboxypeptidase Y digestion. Treatment of intact cells with trypsin or carboxypeptidase Y did not release any amino acids from the carboxyl-terminal of Band 3. In contrast, carboxypeptidase Y readily digested the carboxyl-terminal of Band 3 in ghosts that were stripped of extrinsic membrane proteins by alkali or high salt. This was shown by a decrease in the molecular weight of a carboxyl-terminal fragment of Band 3 after carboxypeptidase Y digestion of stripped ghost membranes. No such decrease was observed after carboxypeptidase Y treatment of intact cells. In addition, Band 3 purified from carboxypeptidase Y-treated stripped ghost membranes had a different carboxyl-terminal sequence from intact Band 3. Cleavage of the carboxyl-terminal of Band 3 was also observed when non-stripped ghosts or inside-out vesicles were treated with carboxypeptidase Y. However, the digestion was less extensive. These results suggest that the carboxyl-terminal of Band 3 may be protected from digestion by its association with extrinsic membrane proteins. We conclude, therefore, that the carboxyl-terminal of Band 3 is located on the cytoplasmic side of the red cell membrane. Since the amino-terminal of Band 3 is also located on the cytoplasmic side of the erythrocyte membrane, the Band 3 polypeptide crosses the membrane an even number of times. A model for the folding of Band 3 in the erythrocyte membrane is presented. 相似文献

A specific interaction of human erythrocyte catalase with the inner surface of the red cell membrane was demonstrated. The dependency of catalase affinity on pH and ionic strength implies that the interaction is dominated by electrostatic forces. Scatchard analysis of the binding at pH 6.0 and 5 mm Mes buffer reveals a single class of approximately 106 binding sites/ghost with an association constant of 2.5 × 107m?1. The membrane-bound catalase retains its enzymatic activity. Competition binding studies of catalase and other proteins known to associate with the membrane inner surface were carried out. It was found that the binding of catalase is inhibited by aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase as well as by hemoglobin. The advantage of membrane-bound catalase in protection of the cell membrane against peroxidative damages is discussed. 相似文献

Limited proteolysis of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton by calcium-dependent proteinases 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The action of purified calcium-dependent proteinases on human erythrocyte membrane skeleton proteins has been examined. Preferential cleavage of proteins 4.1 a and b and band 3 and limited cleavage of alpha- and beta-spectrin occur when either calcium-dependent proteinase I or calcium-dependent proteinase II has access to the cytoplasmic side of the ghost membrane skeleton in the presence of calcium. Thus, when these proteinases are incubated with sealed ghosts they do not cleave these proteins. Leupeptin, mersalyl, the specific cellular protein inhibitor of these enzymes, and calcium chelators can inhibit proteolysis of the red cell ghost proteins by Ca2+-dependent proteinases. Each proteinase has also been loaded into erythrocyte ghosts in the absence of calcium at low ionic strength and subsequently trapped inside by resealing the ghosts. The proteinases were activated by incubating these ghosts in the presence of the calcium ionophore A23187 and calcium. Examination of the ghost proteins by electrophoresis demonstrated calcium-dependent proteolysis of Bands 4.1 and 3 and limited cleavage of alpha- and beta-spectrin similar to that observed on proteolysis of the open, leaky ghosts. In the presence of calcium each calcium-dependent proteinase appears to associate with the erythrocyte ghost membrane. 相似文献

Detergent-resistant membrane raft fractions have been prepared from human, goat, and sheep erythrocyte ghosts using Triton X-100. The structure and thermotropic phase behaviour of the fractions have been examined by freeze-fracture electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction methods. The raft fractions are found to consist of vesicles and multilamellar structures indicating considerable rearrangement of the original ghost membrane. Few membrane-associated particles typical of freeze-fracture replicas of intact erythrocyte membranes are observed in the fracture planes. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies during heating and cooling scans showed that multilamellar structures formed by stacks of raft membranes from all three species have d-spacings of about 6.5 nm. These structures can be distinguished from peaks corresponding to d-spacings of about 5.5 nm, which were assigned to scattering from single bilayer vesicles on the basis of the temperature dependence of their d-spacings compared with the multilamellar arrangements. The spacings obtained from multilamellar stacks and vesicular suspensions of raft membranes were, on average, more than 0.5 nm greater than corresponding arrangements of erythrocyte ghost membranes from which they were derived. The trypsinization of human erythrocyte ghosts results in a small decrease in lamellar d-spacing, but rafts prepared from trypsinized ghosts exhibit an additional lamellar repeat 0.4 nm less than a lamellar repeat coinciding with rafts prepared from untreated ghosts. The trypsinization of sheep erythrocyte ghosts results in the phase separation of two lamellar repeat structures (d=6.00; 5.77 nm), but rafts from trypsinized ghosts produce a diffraction band almost identical to rafts from untreated ghosts. An examination of the structure and thermotropic phase behaviour of the dispersions of total polar lipid extracts of sheep detergent-resistant membrane preparations showed that a reversible phase separation of an inverted hexagonal structure from coexisting lamellar phase takes place upon heating above about 30 degrees C. Non-lamellar phases are not observed in erythrocytes or detergent-resistant membrane preparations heated up to 55 degrees C, suggesting that the lamellar arrangement is imposed on these membrane lipids by interaction with non-lipid components of rafts and/or that the topology of lipids in the erythrocyte membrane survives detergent treatment. 相似文献

STRUCTURE OF MEMBRANE HOLES IN OSMOTIC AND SAPONIN HEMOLYSIS 总被引:7,自引:5,他引:2
Serial section electron microscopy of hemolysing erythrocytes (fixed at 12 s after the onset of osmotic hemolysis) revealed long slits and holes in the membrane, extending to around 1 µm in length. Many but not all of the slits and holes (about 100–1000 Å wide) were confluent with one another. Ferritin and colloidal gold (added after fixation) only permeated those cells containing membrane defects. No such large holes or slits were seen in saponin-treated erythrocytes, and the membrane was highly invaginated, giving the ghost a scalloped outline. Freeze-etch electron microscopy of saponin-treated membranes revealed 40–50 Å-wide pits in the extracellular surface of the membrane. If these pits represent regions from which cholesterol was extracted, then cholesterol is uniformly distributed over the entire erythrocyte membrane. 相似文献

Kinetics and extent of fusion between Sendai virus and erythrocyte ghosts: application of a mass action kinetic model 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The kinetics and extent of fusion between Sendai virus and erythrocyte ghosts were investigated with an assay for lipid mixing based on the relief of self-quenching of fluorescence. The results were analyzed in terms of a mass action kinetic model, which views the overall fusion reaction as a sequence of a second-order process of virus-cell adhesion followed by the first-order fusion reaction itself. The fluorescence development during the course of the fusion process was calculated by numerical integration, employing separate rate constants for the adhesion step and for the subsequent fusion reaction. Dissociation of virus particles from the cells was found to be of minor importance when fusion was initiated by mixing the particles at 37 degrees C. However, besides the initiation of fusion, extensive dissociation does occur after a preincubation of a concentrated suspension of particles at 4 degrees C followed by a transfer of the sample to 37 degrees C. The conclusion drawn from the levels of fluorescence increase obtained after 20 h of incubation is that in principle most virus particles can fuse with the ghosts at 37 degrees C and pH 7.4. However, the number of Sendai virus particles that actually fuse with a single ghost is limited to 100-200, despite the fact more than 1000 particles can bind to one cell. This finding may imply that 100-200 specific fusion sites for Sendai virus exist on the erythrocyte membrane. A simple equation can yield predictions for the final levels of fluorescence for a wide range of ratios of virus particles to ghosts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Acidic and neutral sialidases (pH optimum 4.7 and 7.2, respectively) were assayed on human circulating erythrocytes during ageing. The assays were performed on intact erythrocytes and resealed erythrocyte ghost membranes. From young to senescent erythrocytes the acidic sialidase featured a 2.7-fold and 2.5-fold decrease in specific activity when measured on intact cells or resealed ghost membranes, whereas the neutral sialidase a 5-fold and 7-fold increase, respectively.The Ca2+-loading procedure was employed to mimic the vesiculation process occurring during erythrocyte ageing. Under these conditions the released vesicles displayed an elevated content of acidic sialidase, almost completely linked through a glycan phosphoinositide (GPI) anchor but no neutral sialidase activity, that was completely retained by remnant erythrocytes together with almost all the starting content of sialoglycoconjugates. The loss with vesiculation of acidic sialidase with a concomitant relative increase of neutral sialidase was more marked in young than senescent erythrocytes.The data presented suggest that during ageing erythrocytes loose acidic sialidase, and get enriched in the neutral enzyme, the vesiculation process, possibly involving GPI-anchors-rich membrane microdomains, being likely responsible for these changes. The enhanced neutral sialidase activity might account for the sialic acid loss occurring during erythrocyte ageing. 相似文献

Low-pH association of proteins with the membranes of intact red blood cells. I. Exogenous glycophorin and the CD4 molecule 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Glycophorin and CD4 proteins are tightly associated with intact human erythrocyte membranes after a short-time incubation at low pH (1-2 min, pH lower than 5, 37 degrees C). Flow cytometry and epifluorescence microscope observations showed that after incubation of red cells with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled glycophorin at pH values lower than 5, the erythrocyte membrane and subsequently formed ghost membranes were fluorescent. Unlabeled glycophorin was reacted with mouse erythrocytes using the same low-pH conditions. Flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy showed that anti-glycophorin monoclonal antibodies were able to recognize the epitopes of glycophorin associated with the mouse erythrocytes. Kinetic experiments showed that the interaction of FITC-glycophorin with red cell membranes can be monitored by a decrease in the fluorescence intensity. Erythrocyte associated glycophorin was not removed from the membranes after 24 h incubation in human plasma (in vitro, 39 degrees C). A glycoprotein extract containing CD4 was isolated from a T4-lymphoma cell line (CEM). This protein extract was incubated with erythrocytes using the same low-pH conditions. Fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies against CD4 stained the red cells after association of CD4 with the membranes. Electron microscopy showed 10 nm immunoglobulin G-coated gold beads associated with CD4-bearing erythrocyte membranes after incubation with anti-CD4 antibodies and then with the gold beads. The potential use of the CD4-erythrocyte complex as a therapeutical agent against acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is suggested. 相似文献
