ATP effects on response of human erythrocyte membrane to high pressure

open access: yesBiophysics and Physicobiology, 2019
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.

Spectrin is peripheral [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2005
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*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
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

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
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

Novel exon 2 α spectrin mutation and intragenic crossover: three morphological phenotypes associated with four distinct α spectrin defects

open access: yesHaematologica, 2013
Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by spectrin deficiency and defective spectrin dimer self-association, typically found in African populations.

Non-erythroid beta spectrin interacting proteins and their effects on spectrin tetramerization

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Biology Letters, 2011
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.

An axon initial segment is required for temporal precision in action potential encoding by neuronal populations

open access: yes, 2018
Central neurons initiate action potentials (APs) in the axon initial segment (AIS), a compartment characterized by a high concentration of voltage-dependent ion channels and specialized cytoskeletal anchoring proteins arranged in a regular nanoscale ...
