ATP effects on response of human erythrocyte membrane to high pressure
Phosphorylation of membrane proteins in human erythrocytes is mediated by intracellular ATP levels. Such phosphorylation modulates the interactions of the bilayer with the cytoskeleton and affects the membrane stability under high pressure.

In 1971, “next to nothing was known about the organization of membrane proteins,” says S. Jonathan Singer (University of California, San Diego, CA). Singer had proposed that there were two kinds of membrane proteins— integral and peripheral—but the idea was, at the time, largely speculative (Singer, 1971).

β-Spectrin Regulates the Hippo Signaling Pathway and Modulates the Basal Actin Network*
Background: The Hippo signaling pathway is regulated by mechanical signals from the cytoskeleton. Results: Perturbation of the spectrin cytoskeleton lead to loss of Hippo signaling phenotypes in Drosophila and mammalian cells.

Super-Resolution Microscopy Reveals the Native Ultrastructure of the Erythrocyte Cytoskeleton
Summary: The erythrocyte cytoskeleton is a textbook prototype for the submembrane cytoskeleton of metazoan cells. While early experiments suggest a triangular network of actin-based junctional complexes connected by ∼200-nm-long spectrin tetramers, later

Non-erythroid beta spectrin interacting proteins and their effects on spectrin tetramerization
AbstractWith yeast two-hybrid methods, we used a C-terminal fragment (residues 1697–2145) of non-erythroid beta spectrin (βII-C), including the region involved in the association with alpha spectrin to form tetramers, as the bait to screen a human brain cDNA library to identify proteins interacting with βII-C.
