Abstract
Spectrin is the major component of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton and exists as a 526 kDa alphabeta heterodimer. The 246 kDa beta-chain of human spectrin is phosphorylated near the C-terminus, but the exact phosphorylation sites are unknown and the role of this phosphorylation is not fully characterized. In this study, we produced a monoclonal antibody, Sp316, capable of recognizing the C-terminal region of beta-spectrin regardless of its phosphorylation state and used it to purify the phosphorylated region after 2-nitro-5-thiocyanobenzoic acid cleavage of spectrin. Two-dimensional gels, mass spectrometry, and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography were used to characterize these phosphorylation states. Only about 1.5% of spectrin isolated from fresh blood is unphosphorylated, about 9% has more than four phosphates per molecule, and the majority of the protein has one to four phosphates per molecule. A total of six phosphorylation sites were identified by tandem mass spectrometry. Quantitative analysis of the phosphorylation states by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that phosphorylation of beta-spectrin occurs in a sequential manner where each specific site is completely phosphorylated before the next site is modified. The first phosphorylation event occurs on Ser-2114, followed by Ser-2125, Ser-2123, Ser-2128, Ser-2117, and Thr-2110. The identification of the specific phosphorylated beta-spectrin residues and the ordered sequence of phosphorylation events in vivo should provide an invaluable basis for further studies of the role of these posttranslational modifications in spectrin function in situ.

Abstract
Stimulation of secretion in exocrine secretory glands leads to the phosphorylation of a 22-kDa membrane protein (protein III) whose function is still unknown [Jahn et al. (1980) Eur. J. Biochem. 112, 345-352; Jahn & Söling (1980) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 78, 6903-6906]. This report describes the comparison of this protein with phosphorylated membrane proteins of similar molecular mass in platelets and liver. Incubation of platelets with agents which raise the intracellular cAMP concentration results in the phosphorylation of a 22-kDa protein which is also phosphorylated in membrane preparations by endogenous kinases or by exogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase. It is shown that this protein is distinct from protein III although both proteins have the same molecular mass and are substrates of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. In contrast to platelets, protein III could be demonstrated in liver microsomes. This indicates that the function of protein III is not exclusively linked to the stimulus-secretion coupling in exocrine cells.

Abstract
Extraction by boiling of the buffy coat of human blood yields a protein solution which inhibits the propagation of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in culture with a 50% inhibitory dose of 105 micrograms of protein per ml. The inhibitory activity is associated exclusively with the lymphocytes and affects solely the invasion of erythrocytes by free merozoites. Boiled extracts of isolated lymphocytes had a 50% inhibitory dose of 22 micrograms/ml. Fractionation of surface-labeled or pronase-treated lymphocytes revealed that the antimalarial lymphocyte factor is associated with the intracellular aspect of the membrane fraction and is probably not involved in the host defense system against malaria. Further purification by salt extraction, ion-exchange chromatography, molecular gel filtration, and electroelution from lithium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels resulted in 300- to 550-fold purification, i.e., a 50% inhibitory dose of 40 to 70 ng/ml. All inhibitory fractions contained a 48-kilodalton polypeptide which eluted from a gel filtration column as a 400-kilodalton species, implying multimeric association. Some 6,000 molecules of the 48-kilodalton polypeptide bind with high affinity to one merozoite, the free form of the parasite. The Kd of 0.1 to 0.5 nM for the binding of the 48-kilodalton polypeptide correlated well with the 50% inhibitory dose of 0.3 to 0.4 nM obtained with purified active antimalarial lymphocyte factor. We therefore suggest that the 48-kilodalton polypeptide partially purified from lymphocyte membranes is the antimalarial lymphocyte factor and that it exerts its inhibitory activity by binding to merozoites, thereby preventing their invasion into erythrocytes. The antimalarial lymphocyte factor or a polypeptide sequence thereof could serve for further probing of invasion at the molecular level.

Abstract
Membrane protein phosphorylation has been studied in resealed human erythrocyte ghosts by measuring the incorporation of 32P into spectrin and band 3. Norepinephrine- and Ca2+-stimulated phosphate incorporation was diminished in ghosts depleted of calmodulin. Ghosts prepared with endogenous calmodulin showed Ca2+- and norepinephrine-stimulated protein phosphorylation only when the ghosts had been resealed in the presence of (gamma-32P)ATP. Ghosts resealed with or without calmodulin in the presence of unlabeled ATP showed no net gain or loss of 32P when exposed to norepinephrine or a Ca2+-specific ionophore. These observations suggest that Ca2+ and norepinephrine stimulation of membrane protein phosphorylation is mediated by calmodulin-dependent spectrin kinase activity, and not by increased turnover of spectrin ATPase or by inhibition of phosphospectrin phosphatase.

Abstract
Human erthrocyte membranes in isotonic medium change shape from crenated spheres to biconcave disks and cup-forms when incubated at 37 degrees C in the presence of MgATP (M. P. Sheetz and S. J. Singer, 1977, J. Cell Biol. 73:638-646). The postulated relationship between spectrin phosphorylation and shape change (W. Birchmeier and S. J. Singer, 1977, J. Cell Biol. 73:647-659) is examined in this report. Salt extraction of white ghosts reduced spectrin phosphorylation during shape changes by 85-95%. Salt extraction did not alter crenation, rate of MgATP-dependent shape change, or the fraction (greater than 80%) ultimately converted to disks and cup-forms after 1 h. Spectrin was partially dephosphorylated in intact cells by subjection to metabolic depletion in vitro. Membranes from depleted cells exhibited normal shape-change behavior. Shape-change behavior was influenced by the hemolysis buffer and temperature and by the time required for membrane preparation. Tris and phosphate ghosts lost the capacity to change shape after standing for 1-2 h at 0 degrees C. Hemolysis in HEPES or N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid yielded ghosts that were converted rapidly to disks in the absence of ATP and did not undergo further conversion to cup-forms. These effects could not be attributed to differential dephsphorylation of spectrin, because dephosphorylation during ghost preparation and incubation was negligible. These results suggest that spectrin phosphorylation is not required for MgATP-dependent shape change. It is proposed that other biochemical events induce membrane curvature changes and that the role of spectrin is passive.

Abstract
Lymphocytes were labelled by incubation with [32P]Pi and their plasma membranes isolated. Analysis by one-dimensional and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed a small number of strongly phosphorylated polypeptides. Two of these were especially prominent; they had molecular weights of about 52000 and 90000, were acidic and were apparently not glycosylated. Similar patterns were obtained for quiescent T- and B-lymphocytes from different species and for cultured lymphoblastoid cells, although the relative amounts of the labelled polypeptides varied. Immunoprecipitation analyses of the detergent-solubilized 32P-labelled plasma membranes indicated that the glycosylated polypeptide of the human major transplantation (HLA-A and HLA-B) antigens and its mouse and pig counterparts are phosphorylated. In contrast, no phosphorylation of the membrane-associated immunoglobulin, the mouse Thy-1 antigen or the human HLA-DRw(Ia) antigen was detected. The phosphorylation patterns of human peripheral blood and nude-mouse spleen lymphocytes did not change during the period 5-30min after mitogen stimulation. Therefore a change in the phosphorylation of plasma-membrane protein(s) is probably not an early biochemical event in the initiation of T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte growth, although a rapid transient change cannot be ruled out. Similar plasma-membrane phosphorylation patterns were also obtained by incubating the purified plasma membrane with [gamma-32P]ATP. The phosphorylation of the 90000-mol.wt. polypeptide was particularly rapid and was stimulated by the addition of cyclic AMP.

Abstract
Casein kinase and histone kinase(s) are solubilized from human erythrocyte membranes by buffered ionic solutions (0.1 mM EDTA and subsequent 0.8 M NaCl, pH 8) containing 0.2% Triton X-100. Casein kinase is separated from histone kinase(s) by submitting the crude extracts directly to chromatography on a phosphocellulose column, eluted with a continuous linear gradient of potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, containing 0.2% Triton X-100. Under these conditions, the membrane-bound casein kinase activity is almost completely recovered into a quite stable preparation, free of histone kinase activity. In contrast, it undergoes a dramatic loss of activity when the extraction and the subsequent phosphocellulose chromatography are carried out with buffers which do not contain Triton X-100. Isolated spectrin, the most abundant membrane protein, is phosphorylated, in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP, only by casein kinase while histone kinase is ineffective. Only the smaller subunit (band II) of isolated spectrin (and not the larger one (band I) is involved in such a phosphorylation process, as in the endogenous phosphorylation occurring in intact erythrocytes.

Abstract
Red cell membranes prepared by hemolysis and washing in hypotonic Tris buffer crenate when suspended at 0 degrees C in isotonic medium. At 37 degrees C, in the presence of 1 mM MgATP, the crenated membranes are progressively converted to smooth-contoured discs and cup-forms. The phosphorylation of proteins and lipids during shape transformation in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP has been studied. Spectrin phosphorylation and shape change could be dissociated in several ways, demonstrating that spectrin phosphorylation is neither necessary nor sufficient for the membrane smoothing reaction. Adenosine markedly inhibited phosphoinositide regeneration without altering shape change. Phosphatidic acid synthesis from endogenous diacylglycerol was not affected by adenosine and comparison of sheep, human and rabbit ghosts, which vary greatly in shape change capacity, demonstrated a direct correlation between phosphatidic acid synthesis and shape change rate. The results suggest that membrane curvature may be induced by diacyglycerol phosphorylation at the inner surface of the membrane bilayer, while the membrane skeleton limits the curvature and determines the shape ultimately assumed.

Abstract
Addition of ATP to medium surrounding intact, transformed 3T3 cells causes the formation of aqueous channels in the plasma membrane. This effect of extracellular ATP is sharply dependent on the pH and temperature of the incubation medium, and is inhibited by low levels of La3+ or ruthenium red; inhibition is also obtained with concentrations of Mg2+ ions that exceed a ratio of Mg/ATP of one. The effect of ATP on membrane channel formation is unaffected by chelators of metal ions or by prior modification of the cell surface with various surface-active enzymes or sulfhydryl reagents. Under conditions which favor aqueous channel formation, incubation of intact 3T6 cells with ATP (gamma-32P) leads to phosphorylation of two membrane components with apparent molecular weight of 40,000 (40K) and 110,000 (110K) daltons; the 110K component which is unaffected by trypsin under normal conditions is rendered trypsin-sensitive by the phosphorylation reaction, probably as a result of a conformational change. Conditions which inhibit aqueous channel formation also inhibit phosphorylation of the 110K protein and decrease the labeling of the 40K component. These results indicate the probable role of cell surface phosphorylation, involving one or both of these components, in the formation of aqueous channels in transformed 3T3 cells. Aqueous channel formation by extracellular ATP is not associated with gross unfolding of the cell surface as revealed by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of the 3T6 cell surface.

Abstract
Membrane protein phosphorylation may be a general regulatory mechanism mediating the response of cells to exogenous metabolic and physical signals. We have determined that the membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor is the major substrate phosphorylated in situ by a nearby membrane protein kinase. Moreover, these same membranes also contain phosphoprotein phosphatase activity which dephosphorylates the membrane-bound receptor. These findings suggest that reversible phosphorylation of the actylcholine receptor may be critical for receptor function at the synapse. Therefore, it is necessary to define the properties of the enzymes which mediate this phosphorylation-dephosphorylation mechanism. In this report we describe the properties of the first component of this system, the membrane-bound protein kinase in receptor-enriched membranes from the electric organ of Torpedo californica. Only ATP is effective as a phosphate donor for this cyclic AMP-independent membrane kinase; GTP does not support phosphorylation of the receptor. Both casein and histone can also be phosphorylated by the membrane protein kinase, but casein is a better substrate. Although phosphorylation of the receptor appears to be regulated by cholinergic ligands and K+, casein phosphorylation is not specifically affected by these agents. Moreover, while phosphorylation of the acetylcholine receptor is maximal in receptor=enriched membranes, casein phosphorylation is similar in all membrane fractions prepared from the electric organ. Taken together, these findings suggest that the membrane protein kinase activity in receptor-enriched membranes is similar to most other membrane kinases. Therefore, the unique characteristics of membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor phosphorylation appear to be determined by the receptor and its availability as a substrate for the membrane kinase.

Abstract
The mechanism of phosphosylation and dephosphorylation of spectrin from human erythrocyte membranes has been examined under closely physiological conditions. The results support the hypothesis that spectrin is an autophosphorylating and dephosphorylating system. (i) Extraction from ghosts of up to 85% of the kinase (casein kinase) suggested to catalyze the reaction [see Fairbanks, G., Avruch, J., Dino, E. J. & Patel, V. P. (1978) J. Supramol. Struct. 9, 97--112] only slightly reduced spectrin component 2 phosphorylation and did not affect ATP-induced changes in the ghosts' shapes. (ii) A spectrin--actin complex isolated from endocytotic inside-out vesicles under hyperteonic conditions contained virtually no casein kinase activity and still exhibited a largely intact phosphorylation machinery. (iii) Photoaffinity labeling experiments indicated that spectrin component 2 fulfills the necessary prerequisite of the hypothesis--i.e., it contains its own ATP-binding site. (iv) Under various conditions, spectrin phosphorylation and dephospohrylation seem to be tightly coupled. The implications of these findings for the understanding of spectrin function and the maintenance of erythrocyte shape are discussed.

Abstract
We review our current understanding of membrane phosphorylation in normal and abnormal erythrocytes. The major phosphoproteins in red blood cell (RBC) membranes are spectrin (band 2), bands 3, 2.1, and 4.5, and glycophorin A. At least two protein kinases can be distinguished on the basis of their stimulation by cyclic AMP and salt; they are present both in the membrane and in the cytosol. Analysis of the conflicting data on endogenous membrane-protein phosphorylation in abnormal RBCs indicates a considerable variability of phosphorylation rates which largely depends on the manner of preparation of ghosts and enzyme assay conditions. This variability reflects differences in the partitioning of protein kinases between the membrane and cytosol, the specificity and accessibility of membrane-protein substrates, and reaction kinetics. We select examples of data from several hemolytic anemias to illustrate that precautions are needed to interpret abnormalities of membrane-protein phosphorylation properly; we discuss possible new methodological approaches.

Abstract
The possibility that spectrin and band-3 protein are phosphorylated by the same membrane-bound protein kinase was investigated by adding casein to unsealed erythrocyte ghosts and examing competition of the three proteins for phosphorylation. The extent of spectrin and band-3 protein phosphorylation was reduced by up to approximately 55%. This indicated that casein was competing with these endogenous substrates for phosphorylation and was most probably phosphorylated by the same protein kinase(s). Furthermore, the extent of inhibition of the phosphorylation of the two endogenous substrates was indistinguishable over the range of casein concentrations tested (0.1 to 5 mg/ml). This indicates that spectrin and band-3 protein may be phosphorylated by the same protein kinase. In contrast, casein was found to have no effect on the cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of band 4.5. This result indicates that casein only competes with the endogenous proteins phosphorylated by the cAMP-independent protein kinase(s). The extent of reduction of endogenous substrate phosphorylation in the presence of casein was found to be constant over incubation periods of 1 to 15 min, indicating that this reduction was not due to consumption of ATP. Since the spectrin and band-3 protein phosphorylations were specifically and identically reduced by casein and these reductions were not due to the ATP consumption or to a general alteration of the membrane, we conclude that the two substrates are likely phosphorylated by one kinase which also phosphorylates casein.

Abstract
Using 32P-labeled phosphocasein or phosphohistones as exogenous substrates it was possible to detect a phosphoprotein phosphatase activity on the outer surface of intact normal and transformed 3T3 fibroblasts. Incubation of monolayers of intact cells in buffered salt solution with the radioactively labeled substrate resulted in the release of alkali-labile 32P counts into the surrounding medium. The reaction was: (a) linear with time (at least up to 20 min); (b) proportional to the cell density; (c) dependent on the temperature and pH of the incubation medium; (d) stimulated by K+; and (e) inhibited by sodium fluoride, inorganic pyrophosphate, zinc chloride and relatively impermeant sulfhydryl reagents. Less than 2% of the externally located phosphoprotein phosphatase activity was detectable in pooled cell-free washings of the intact cell monolayer. Phosphocasein did not cause any detectable leakage of intracellular lactate dehydrogenase or soluble phosphoprotein phosphatase activity into the external medium; incubation of the cells with phosphohistones, on the other hand, resulted in appreciable leakage of both these cytoplasmic activities. Neoplastic transformation was associated with a nearly two-fold decrease in the activity of the surface phosphoprotein phosphatase. Addition of serum to either non-transformed 3T3 or spontaneously transformed 3T6 cells resulted in a rapid and remarkeable drop in the cell surface dephosphorylating activity. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis of the dephosphorylated casein or histone substrate revealed no proteolytic degradation or change in electrophoretic mobility. The intact cells showed no damage upon microscopic examination as a result of exposure to phosphocasein or phosphohistones.

When incubated with intact erythrocytes, low density lipoproteins (LDL) decrease the phosphate content of erythrocyte spectrin allowing the cells to undergo morphological transformation. The phosphate content of spectrin depends on the balance between the activity of membrane-associated cyclic AMP-independent protein kinases and phosphoprotein phosphates. LDL do not influence the activity of membrane-associated cyclic AMP-independent protein kinases; these lipoproteins activate by 2-fold and greater membrane-associated phosphatases as determined by hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate and by phosphate hydrolysis of phosphorylated erythrocyte membrane proteins. We conclude that LDL interact at the exterior surface of the erythrocyte to stimulate dephosphorylation of spectrin. The significance of this conclusion is augmented by the fact that spectrin, the target for LDL-induced dephosphorylation, specifies cell morphology and modulates the distribution of cell-surface receptors. LDL also render erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase less susceptible to inhition by F-. Lipoproteins in the high density class (HDL) do not stimulate dephosphorylation of spectrin, and they are consequently unable to alter erythrocyte morphology. HDL do prevent the LDL-induced activation of membrane phosphatase. The inhibitory capacity of HDL is observed over the range of LDL:HDL (w/w) which exists in the plasma of normolipemic humans.

Abstract
Purified postsynaptic membranes can be used as a model system to study the regulation of synaptic membrane proteins. These membranes contain protein kinase activity that phosphorylates the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). We find that diphenylhydantoin (DPH) interacts with these membranes to inhibit phosphorylation of the membrane-bound AChR. DPH appears to alter the availability of postsynaptic membrane proteins for phosphorylation by a synaptic membrane protein kinase. The concentration of DPH that produces half-maximal inhibition of AChR phosphorylation is about 5 x 10(-5) M. This suggests that one of the specific effects of DPH in the nervous system may be related to inhibition of phosphorylation of postsynaptic membrane proteins.

Abstract
Plasma membrane vesicles prepared from adipocytes incubated with insulin exhibited accelerated D-glucose transport activity characteristic to insulin action on intact fat cells. Both control and insulin-stimulated D-glucose transport activities were inhibited by cytochalasin B and thiol reagents. Extraction of plasma membranes with dimethylmaleic anhydride eluted 80% of the protein from plasma membrane vesicles. The two major glycoprotein bands (94,000 and 78,000 daltons) and small amounts of a 56,000-dalton band were retained in dodecyl sulfate gels of the extracted membranes. Both control and insulin-activated D-glucose transport activities were retained by plasma membrane vesicles extracted with dimethylmaleic anhydride. Cytochalasin B binding activity was also retained by extracted membrane vesicles and D-glucose uptake into extracted vesicles derived from untreated or insulin-treated fat cells was inhibited by cytochalasin B. These results suggest that the modification of the adipocyte hexose transport system elicited by insulin action is not altered by a major purification step which involves quantitative extraction of extrinsic membrane proteins.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of spectrin polypeptide 2 is thought to be involved in the metabolically dependent regulation of red cell shape and deformability. Spectrin phosphorylation is not affected by cAMP. The reaction in isolated membranes resembles the cAMP-independent, salt-stimulated phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate, casein, by enzyme(s) present both in isolated membranes and cytoplasmic extracts. Spectrin kinase is selectively eluted from membranes by 0.5 M NaCl and co-fractionates with eluted casein kinase. Phosphorylation of band 3 in the membrane is inhibited by salt, but the band 3 kinase is otherwise indistinguishable operationally from spectrin kinase. The membrane-bound casein (spectrin) kinase is not eluted efficiently with spectrin at low ionic strength; about 80% of the activity is apparently bound at sites (perhaps on or near band 3) other than spectrin. Partitioning of casein kinase between cytoplasm and membrane is metabolically dependent; the proportion of casein kinase on the membrane can range from 25% to 75%, but for fresh cells is normally about 40%. Dephosphorylation of phosphorylated spectrin has not been studied intensively. Slow release of 32Pi from [32P] spectrin on the membrane can be demonstrated, but phosphatase activity measured against solubilized [32P] spectrin is concentrated in the cytoplasm. The crude cytoplasmic phosphospectrin phosphatase is inhibited by various anions--notably, ATP and 2,3-DPG at physiological concentrations. Regulation of spectrin phosphorylation in intact cells has not been studied. We speculate that spectrin phosphorylation state may be regulated 1) by metabolic intermediates and other internal chemical signals that modulate kinase and phosphatase activities per se or determine their intracellular localization and 2) by membrane deformation that alters enzyme-spectrin interaction locally. Progress in the isolation and characterization of spectrin kinase and phosphospectrin phosphatase should lead to the resolution of major questions raised by previous work: the relationships between membrane-bound and cytoplasmic forms of the enzymes, the nature of their physical interactions with the membrane, and the regulation of their activities in defined cell-free systems.
