The mobility and reactivity of maleimide-binding proteins in the rat erythrocyte membrane. Effects of dietary zinc deficiency and incubation with zinc in vitro

Erythrocyte ghosts, prepared from rats fed zinc-deficient diets, were analyzed for the mobility of membrane proteins by electron spin resonance spectroscopy of the sulfhydryl-binding spin probe, 4-maleimido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl. Compared with erythrocyte membranes from rats fed zinc-adequate diets ad libitum or pair-fed, erythrocyte membranes from zinc-deficient rats had a significantly increased ratio of weakly immobilized to strongly immobilized probe-binding proteins. This suggests that dietary zinc deficiency causes a conformational change in erythrocyte membrane proteins. Dietary zinc deficiency did not significantly affect N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-induced thermal sensitivity or NEM-induced mechanical fragility in rat erythrocytes; however, the addition of zinc in vitro to red cells significantly inhibits NEM-induced mechanical fragility.     

Irradiation increases proteolysis in erythrocyte ghosts: A spin label study

Summary X- and gamma-irradiation of human erythrocyte membranes (250–1000 Gy) was found to decrease the ratio of weakly to strongly immobilized signal height of membrane-bound maleimide spin label (Mal-6). Subsequent incubation of spin-labeled membranes at ambient temperature (21 °C) induced a progressive increase in this ratio, faster for membranes irradiated with low doses which was hampered by protease inhibitors. These results demonstrate that ionizing radiation stimulates proteolysis of erythrocyte membrane proteins by membrane-associated proteases.     

竹红菌甲素对红细胞膜和几种磷脂脂质体膜的流动性的光敏损伤

本文以荧光探针为手段,通过测量膜偏振度的变化,探讨了竹红菌甲素光敏作用对红细胞膜和几种磷脂脂质体膜的流动性的损伤。结果表明,甲素光敏作用使不同种类的磷脂(DPPC,DPPC/DPPE,红细胞膜磷脂)脂质体的流动性增加,其对光敏作用的敏感程度为红细胞膜磷脂脂质体显著小于DPPC/DPPE脂质体及DPPC脂质体。对红细胞膜来说,甲素光敏作用使其流动性呈现先降低而后增加的现象。去除膜上的spectrin以及用胰蛋白酶处理可使这种流动性变化的幅度受到抑制。据此,我们认为,膜磷脂,膜蛋白对甲素光敏作用中膜流动性的变化有着不同的影响,膜蛋白,特别是spectrin,是其中极重要的因素。     

Spin-label studies of the oligomeric structure of band 3 protein in erythrocyte membranes and in reconstituted systems

A spin-labeled fatty acid (16-doxylstearic acid), linked by an ester bond to a maleimide or a nitrene residue, was covalently attached to band 3 of erythrocyte membranes. The electron spin resonance spectrum of the spin-labeled protein was examined at different temperatures in: (a) whole erythrocyte ghosts; (b) ghosts depleted of spectrin and actin; (c) alkaline-treated ghosts; (d) vesicles made with purified band 3 reassociated with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine. Most spectra are composite with a major component corresponding to a large overall splitting. The determination of the percentage of the immobilized component was carried out by pairwise subtraction. At low temperatures (1–7°C), the highest fraction of immobilized component was found in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles (approx. 100%); alkaline-treated membranes had approx. 75% of the immobilized component at the same temperature; whole erythrocyte, spectrin/actin-depleted and spectrin/actin/ankyrin-depleted ghosts gave identical results (approx. 60% of immobilized component). The immobilized fraction decreased in all samples with increasing temperature or addition of a nonsolubilizing concentration of dodecyl octaethylene glycol monoether. In dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles, however, the modification in the ratio of the two components was obtained only above the lipid transition temperature (23°C). The strong immobilization of the spin-labeled lipid chain at all temperatures suggested trapping of the lipid chain between proteins. At low temperature, in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles or in alkaline-treated ghosts, lipid-protein segregation is likely to take place. In whole erythrocyte ghosts, on the other hand, the large contribution of the motionally restricted component at physiological temperature indicates the oligomeric nature of band 3. Partial dissociation of the oligomers occurs as the temperature is increased, but the presence or absence of cytoskeletal proteins has no influence on the state of oligomerization of band 3.     

Strong interactions between a spin-labeled cholesterol analog and erythrocyte proteins in the human erythrocyte membrane

We have used a spin label analog of cholesterol bearing a nitroxide on the alkyl chain (26-nor-25-doxylcholestanol) to study cholesterol-protein interactions in the human erythrocyte membrane. As judged from the ESR spectrum, the spin label is readily incorporated into the membrane when added from a concentrated ethanolic solution to a cell or ghost suspension. With intact erythrocytes or white ghosts in isotonic buffer, the ESR spectrum is a superposition of a mobile component and a strongly immobilized component (outer hyperfine splitting 61–63 G). The latter corresponds to approx. 45% of the signal, a percentage which is barely affected by varying the temperature between 5 and 37°C. Removal of the cytoskeletal proteins spectrin and actin by low ionic strength treatment or of all extrinsic proteins by alkali treatment of ghosts reduces the immobilized fraction to approx. 25%. The effect of controlled proteolysis of intrinsic proteins was also tested. Pre-treatment of cells with chymotrypsin or pre-treatment of unsealed ghosts with trypsin has no effect on the ESR spectrum obtained with alkali-treated membranes. On the other hand, after chymotrypsin treatment of unsealed ghost, which reduces the band 3 protein to a 17.5 kDa membrane fragment, the strongly immobilized component is no longer observable. These data show that the cholesterol analog 26-nor-25-doxylcholestanol interacts strongly with one or several proteins of the erythrocyte membrane. That the intrinsic protein band 3 is involved is suggested by the disappearance of the immobilized fraction occurring upon chymotrypsin digestion of this protein. Our results are thus consistent with the proposal of a selective cholesterol-band 3 interaction in the erythrocyte membrane (Schubert, D. and Boss, K. (1982) FEBS Lett. 150, 4–8). Our data also suggest that this interaction is influenced by cytoskeletal proteins, an effect which can be explained considering the known linking of band 3 to the erythrocyte cytoskeleton via ankyrin. Experiments have also been carried out with 3-doxylandrostanol, a more commonly used cholesterol spin-label analog. With this spin label, at all temperatures investigated, we found it impossible to demonstrate unambiguously the existence of two separate spectral components. It is suggested that 26-nor-25-doxylcholestanol is a better reporter of cholesterol behavior in membranes.     

Oxygenated cholesterols synergistically immobilize acyl chains and enhance protein helical structure in human erythrocyte membranes

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that insertion of 20 alpha-hydroxycholesterol into human erythrocyte membranes (10% of total membrane sterol) immobilized the lipid acyl chains to a degree equivalent to enriching total membrane cholesterol by 50% (Rooney, M.W., Lange, Y. and Kauffman, J.W. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 8281-8285). Raman spectroscopy showed that the amount of acyl chain rotamers was not significantly altered by the presence of 20 alpha-hydroxycholesterol, indicating that acyl chain immobilization was limited to an inhibition of lateral motion. The presence of 20 alpha-hydroxycholesterol may synergistically enhance the acyl-chain-immobilizing behavior of membrane cholesterol. In addition, protein helical structure was not altered by 20 alpha-hydroxycholesterol. The insertion of 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol into erythrocyte membranes resulted in an increase in protein helical structure which was comparable to that observed for erythrocyte membranes enriched with pure cholesterol by 50%. However, both acyl chain mobility and conformation were unchanged. These results suggest a synergistic behavior between oxysterols and cholesterol in modifying erythrocyte membrane packing.     

Radiation-induced lipid peroxidation and the fluidity of erythrocyte membrane lipids

The effect of radiation-induced peroxidation on the fluidity of the phospholipids of the erythrocyte membrane was studied using both erythrocyte ghosts and liposomes formed from the polar lipids of erythrocytes. In liposomes, the oxidation of the phospholipids increased with radiation dose, but there was no change in the fluidity of the lipids as measured by spin-label motion. Under the same conditions of irradiation, no oxidation of phospholipid was detected in erythrocyte ghosts, although changes occurred in the motion of spin labels intercalated with the membrane. These changes were attributed to radiation-induced alterations in the membrane proteins. It is concluded that alterations in motion of spin labels, observed with intact membranes after irradiation, are most likely the result of changes in the structure of membrane proteins rather than the lipids.     

Effects of intramembrane particle aggregation on erythrocyte membrane fluidity: an electron spin resonance study in normal and in dystrophic subjects

Mobilization and aggregation of intramembrane particles (IMPs) are physiological events observed in various cells. In erythrocyte membranes, aggregation of IMPs can be induced by the exposure of partially desprectrinized erythrocyte membranes to acidic pH. We investigated the association between IMPs aggregation, protein mobility, and membrane fluidity in erythrocyte membranes of healthy controls and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients by using electron spin resonance and specific spin labels for membrane proteins and lipids. In erythrocyte membranes of control subjects, the partial spectrin removal induced a decreased segmental motion of protein spin label indicating an increase of protein-protein interactions. Stearic acid spin labels 5- and 16-(N-oxyl-4,4'-dimethyloxazolidine) showed that the treatment induces an increase of membrane fluidity. In DMD patients, both treated and untreated erythrocyte membranes showed changes of membrane fluidity when compared to those of the controls. Our results suggest that defects in the interactions between skeletal proteins and/or between membrane and skeleton components may contribute to the alterations of erythrocyte membranes in DMD.     

亚硒酸钠抗红细胞膜蛋白交联作用的机理探讨

邻苯二酚氧化处理人红细胞膜会导致膜蛋白交联,产生高分子聚合物(HMP)。用N—乙基马来酰胺(NEM)封闭膜蛋白硫基,则不产生HMP。预先用Na SeO_3(0.05mol/L)处理红细胞膜,也同样不产生HMP。用N—(3-芘)马来酰胺(N-〔3-P〕NEM)标记红细胞膜来测试不同浓度Na_2SeO_3对荧光强度的影响。结果表明,随着Na SeO_3浓度增高荧光强度相应降低。Na_2SeO_3对红细胞膜的预处理时间和荧光强度的变化有关。经Na SeO_3处理的红细胞膜ESR谱提示了Na_2SeO_3与材相互作用有关。用荧光法测定膜结合硒含量表明,Na_2SeO_3处理红细胞膜可导致膜结合硒含量增高。推测,Na SeO_3很可能与膜蛋白疏基作用形成结合硒,从而起到抗膜蛋白交联作用。     

Effect of proteolysis on the electron spin resonance spectra of maleimide spin labeled erythrocyte membrane

The ratio of low-field amplitudes of weakly and strongly immobilized signals of ESR spectra of a maleimide spin label bound to erythrocyte membranes (hw/hs) increases progressively during incubation at 37 degrees C. This increase is due to the 'self-digestion' of membrane proteins by endogenous proteinases and is attenuated by proteinase inhibitors. Digestion of membranes with chymotrypsin also increases the hw/hs ratio. These results suggest a need for a careful interpretation of data from spin-labeled membrane proteins, especially in experiments involving prolonged incubations of membrane preparations when the proteolytic effects may be significant.
