Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In the course of studying mammalian erythrocytes we noted prominent differences in the red cells of the rat. Analysis of ghosts by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that membranes of rat red cells were devoid of band 6 or the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate: NAD+ oxidoreductase (phosphorylating), EC 1.2.1.12). Direct measurements of this enzyme showed that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in rat erythrocytes was about 25% of that in human cells; all of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in rat erythrocytes was within the cytoplasm and none was membrane bound; and in the human red cell, about 1/3 of the enzyme activity was within the cytoplasm and 2/3 membrane bound. The release of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from fresh rat erythrocytes immediately following saponin lysis was also determined using the rapid filtration technique recently described. The extrapolated zero-time intercepts of these reactions confirmed that, in the rat erythrocyte, none of the cellular glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was membrane bound. Failure of rat glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to bind to the membranes of the intact rat erythrocyte seems to be due to cytoplasmic metabolites which interact with the enzyme and render it incapable of binding to the membrane.
