En 中文
ABSTRACT When the human red cell consumes its ATP, the cell loses its discoid character in favour of a spiculated and eventually a spherical form. This discocyte—echinocyte transformation parallels both degradation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidic acid but not dephosphorylation of cytoskeletal proteins. Dephosphorylation of both spectrin and band 3 lags behind metabolic crenation. Exogenous vanadate accelerates both shape changes and lipid dephosphorylation in a parallel manner during metabolic depletion. In contrast to its effect on lipids, vanadate reduces the rate of protein dephosphorylation. These observations strongly support a shape control mechanism in the red cell, based on phosphoinositide metabolism and compatible with a bilayer-couple model.
