Abstract
The solute carrier SLC4 family consists of 10 members, nine of which are [Formula: see text] transporters, including three Na(+)-independent Cl(-)/[Formula: see text] exchangers AE1, AE2, and AE3, five Na(+)-coupled [Formula: see text] transporters NBCe1, NBCe2, NBCn1, NBCn2, and NDCBE, as well as "AE4" whose Na(+)-dependence remains controversial. The SLC4 [Formula: see text] transporters play critical roles in pH regulation and transepithelial movement of electrolytes with a broad range of demonstrated physiological relevances. Dysfunctions of these transporters are associated with a series of human diseases. During the past decades, tremendous amount of effort has been undertaken to investigate the topological organization of the SLC4 transporters in the plasma membrane. Based upon the proposed topology models, mutational and functional studies have identified important structural elements likely involved in the ion translocation by the SLC4 transporters. In the present article, we review the advances during the past decades in understanding the structure and function of the SLC4 transporters.

Abstract
The exothermic thermal denaturation transition of band 3, the anion transporter of the human erythrocyte membranes, has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry, in ghost membranes and in nonionic detergent micelles. In detergent micelles the transmembrane domain of band 3 gave an irreversible denaturation transition (C transition). However, no thermal transition was observed for the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain when band 3 was solubilised in detergent micelles. A reduction in enthalpy (190-300 kcal mol-1) with an accompanying decrease in thermal denaturation temperatures (48-60 degrees C) for the C transition was observed in detergent solubilised band 3 when compared with ghost membranes. Unlike ghost membranes, two thermal transitions for band 3 in detergent micelles were observed for the C transition when in the presence of excess covalent inhibitor, 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DIDS), which derive from the thermal unfolding of a single protein with two different thermal stabilities; DIDS-stabilised (75 degrees C) and DIDS-insensitive (62 degrees C). A reduction in the denaturation temperature for the transmembrane domain of band 3 was observed when compared with intact band 3 although no significant differences was observed in the corresponding enthalpy values. This indicates some cooperativity of the two domains of band 3 in maintaining the transmembrane conformation. The results presented in this study show that detergents of intermediate micelle size (e.g. Triton X-100 and C12E8) are required for optimal thermal stability of band 3.

Abstract
Triton X-114 phase partitioning used in conjunction with countercurrent distribution was utilized to examine the phasing properties of the human erythrocyte Band 3 anion-transport protein. Phase partitioning and countercurrent distribution of Band 3 protein followed by electrophoresis and immunoblotting revealed that Band 3 protein possesses biphasic properties with approx. 65% of the Band 3 97,000-Mr species being localized in the detergent phase and 35% isolated in the aqueous phase. The bidirectional phasing of the anion-transporter does not appear to be a result of glycosylation or phosphorylation, since treatment of alkali-washed ghosts with glycosidases or phosphatase respectively did not significantly alter the phasing profiles. Chymotrypsin treatment of erythrocytes followed by the purification of the 60,000-Mr fragment, and exposure of this fragment to phase separation and countercurrent distribution also revealed biphasic partitioning with 70% of the species being isolated in the aqueous phase and 30% in the detergent phase. These data demonstrate that the human erythrocyte Band 3 anion-transport protein is heterogenous by Triton X-114 phase partitioning and that this heterogeneity is preserved in the 60,000-Mr chymotryptic fragment of Band 3 protein.

Abstract
Poly-lysine coated beads attached readily onto Schistosoma mansoni. On detachment, the beads removed membranes from the surface of the tegument. Analysis of the proteins of the detached membranes showed that three major proteins of 94, 73 and 62 kDa were present in contrast to a more complex range of proteins present in the phosphate-buffered saline released membranes. The membranes attached to beads were radio-iodinated and the antigens examined in immunoprecipitates by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using various antisera. In addition to the well-established 32 and 20 kDa antigens of the tegument, other major antigens of 200, 25 and 11-12 kDa were iodinated in the membranes attached to the beads. The results suggest that the major antigens studied in the tegument may not correspond to the major proteins identified. The present approach shows promise for deducing the topography of the surface antigens and proteins of schistosomes.

Abstract
The relationship between alkaline phosphatase and environmental salinity was examined in the rainbow trout and the migratory rainbow (steelhead), Salmo gairdneri. The enzyme activity in tissues involved in osmoregulation was strongly correlated with the adaptation salinity and thus to the degree of salt and fluid transport in those tissues. After transfer from freshwater to seawater, the specific activity of the enzyme increased over 260% in the intestine, decreased by 50% in kidney, and was unchanged in the liver, an organ not directly involved in osmoregulation. The sea-run steelhead trout response was similar to the nonmigratory rainbow; although, the pre-migratory transformation (smoltification) had no effect on enzyme activity. Amino acid inhibitors of alkaline phosphatase significantly reduced fluid absorption in the isolated intestine of rainbow trout, reaffirming the relationship between the enzyme and fluid movement. Electrophoretic identification of trout alkaline phosphatase isozymes, clearly distinguishes the enzyme from different tissue origins. However, from the analysis of intestinal electrophoretic patterns, osmoregulatory adjustments are not associated with the induction of new alkaline phosphatase isozymes, or in the large scale preferential stimulation of one of the two existing intestinal isozymes over the other.

Abstract
The amiloride-binding Na+ channel protein of high electrical resistance epithelia was solubilized and purified from cultured A6 toad kidney cells and bovine renal papilla. Purification was assessed by enrichment in [3H]methylbromoamiloride specific binding. Chromatography of 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS)-solubilized plasma membrane vesicles on agarose-immobilized wheat-germ agglutinin provided a 130-fold enrichment of the amiloride-binding component compared to the cell homogenate. Further purification was achieved by either amiloride-affinity chromatography or size-exclusion HPLC. When the HPLC and amiloride affinity-purified material was injected into a second higher molecular weight exclusion HPLC column, only a single peak with Mr 800,000 was found. Further HPLC separation of the Mr 800,000 material at low ionic strength resolved two peaks with apparent Mrs 800,000 and 700,000. Only the 700-kDa component displayed specific [3H]methylbromoamiloride binding activity. The final binding specific activity achieved was 1300 pmol/mg of protein, corresponding to 91% homogeneity of the protein.

Abstract
An improved procedure for the labeling of glycoproteins with dansylhydrazine subsequent to electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels is reported. This procedure is derived from the work of Eckhardt et al. (1976, Anal. Biochem. 73, 192-197) and Weber and Hof (1975, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 65, 1298-1302) who showed that dansylhydrazine may be condensed with the aldehyde groups of oxidized glycoprotein carbohydrates and the resulting hydrazones reduced with dimethylamine borane and/or sodium borohydride. Using the known distribution of erythrocyte membrane glycoproteins as a benchmark the effect of variation of a number of process parameters was investigated and an optimal procedure identified. The procedure is shown to be relatively insensitive to moderate variations in reagent composition, pH, and time of incubation with dansylhydrazine solution or reducing agents. It is also shown that labeling patterns may be preserved in dried gels if dimethylsulfoxide is replaced or omitted from all of the process solutions and destaining is effected with 1 M sodium acetate, pH 5.6. While specifically developed for the labeling of erythrocyte membrane proteins, the procedure is demonstrated to be applicable to other glycoprotein containing preparations.

Abstract
The properties of the membrane-bound calcium-pumping protein, the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) were compared in erythrocyte ghosts isolated from five mammalian species--human (Homo sapiens), bovine (Bos taurus), porcine (Sus scrofa melitensis), ovine (Ovis aries crassicandus) and caprine (Capra hircus syriaca). The specific activity of the enzyme in porcine erythrocytes is one order of magnitude higher than in the other species. It was also stimulated to various extents by the regulator protein, calmodulin, and by phosphatidylinositol in all the species. Analysis of membrane proteins revealed a number of differences which seem to suggest that the molecular architecture of the red cell membrane influences the activity of the enzyme.

Abstract
Sialoglycoprotein (GP) of human erythrocytes was incorporated into liposomes and its effect on the Fc receptor-mediated phagocytic reaction of human PMN cells was examined. Whereas liposomes carrying 2,4-dinitrophenylated lipid were, upon opsonization with rabbit anti-DNP, readily ingested by PMN cells and induced the NBT-reducing reaction, these reactions were markedly suppressed when GP was incorporated into the target liposomes. The inhibitory activity was found in the glycophorin A and B fractions, but the latter was more active than the former on a weight basis. It was estimated that incorporation of only a single molecule of GP per vesicle of 6000 lipid molecules may be sufficient to protect the particle from phagocytosis, but there was an apparent antagonism between the suppressive GP and opsonizing antibody as, with more antibody, more GP became necessary to inhibit phagocytosis. The effect of GP was largely abolished by trypsin treatment of GP-bearing liposomes or by the addition of F(ab')2 of anti-GP.

Abstract
IgG autoantibodies in human serum selectively bind to a glycopeptide antigen that appears on senescent and damaged cells in situ. We identified the membrane protein from which the senescent cell antigen is derived by using a phagocytosis-inhibition assay and immunoautoradiographic gel staining and electroblotting techniques. Results of the phagocytosis-inhibition assay revealed that only the purified transmembrane glycoprotein designated "band 3" and senescent cell antigen inhibited the phagocytosis of erythrocytes induced by IgG eluted from senescent erythrocytes. Purified spectrin, syndein, band 4.1, actin, glycophorin A, and intact or desialylated sialoglycoprotein periodic acid/Schiff (PAS) staining bands 1-4 containing glycophorins A, B, and C did not inhibit phagocytosis. Specific antibodies against the senescent cell antigen and erythrocyte band 3 were used to identify the membrane protein from which the senescent cell antigen is derived. Band 3-related polypeptides (MrS approximately equal to 60,000, 42,000, and 18-26,000) were identified in erythrocyte ghosts prepared in the presence of diisopropyl fluorophosphate, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, and EDTA by immunoautoradiography with antiband 3. Antibodies to senescent cell antigen reacted with band 3 and the same lower Mr band 3-related polypeptides. Thus, the senescent cell antigen is immunologically related to band 3.

Abstract
Normal human serum contains autoantibodies to a wide range of cellular and serum proteins. IgG autoantibodies to cell membrane proteins spectrin, syndein (Band 2.1), Band 3 degradation products, and the senescent cell antigen are among them. Physiologic autoantibodies to the senescent cell antigen, a approximately 62 000 dalton glycopeptide derived from Band 3, initiate removal of senescent, damaged, and stored cells in vivo. The senescent cell antigen is one of the two Band 3 degradation products (Mr approximately 66 000 and 62 000) observed in freshly prepared ghosts. Since the senescent cell antigen is observed on red cells aged in situ, data suggest that Band 3 undergoes proteolysis in situ. IgG eluted from blood stored for transfusion binds to the senescent cell antigen. The amount of IgG on red cells increases during storage suggesting accumulation of the senescent cell antigen. Autoantibodies to other cell and serum proteins are discussed as possible regulators of homeostasis. The effect of age on physiologic autoantibodies is reviewed.

Abstract
Particulate membrane preparations from K-562 [human CML (chronic-myelogenous-leukaemia)-derived] cells catalyse the transfer of [3H]galactose from UDP-[3H]-galactose and [3H]N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-[3H]N-acetylglucosamine into an endogenous product that on digestion with Pronase yields long-chain glycopeptides (mol.wt. 7000--10 000) called 'erythroglycan'. Incorporation of either labelled sugar increased up to 60 min of incubation time. The labelled erythroglycan was isolated by chromatography on Sephadex G-50 and characterized by digestion with endo-beta-galactosidase from Escherichia freundii, followed by analysis on Bio-Gel P-2 and paper chromatography. This digestion gave the following four products: (1) a disaccharide with the sequence beta GlcNAc-beta Gal; (2) a trisaccharide with the sequence betaGal-betaGlcNAc-beta Gal; (3) a larger oligosaccharide containing galactose and N-acetylglucosamine; and (4) a putative protein-linkage region.

Abstract
This and the companion article are aimed at surveying the methods used for the study of membrane asymmetry. The techniques employed for the assessment of the asymmetric distribution and orientation of membrane proteins are reviewed in this article, whereas those pertaining to the unequal distribution of lipids are detailed in the companion paper. The use of immunological techniques and lectins, functions of proteins and their perturbations, chemical reagents, enzymatic isotopic labeling and enzymatic cleavage of membrane proteins and physical techniques are discussed and illustrated using recent examples of their application. Whenever appropriate, problems involving crypticity and non-availability or non-reactivity of functional sites, relevant chemical functions or protein fragments to appropriate ligands, reagents or modifying enzymes are envisaged and possible modification of the exposure of proteins during preparation of ghosts and other drawbacks are discussed, the use of different techniques and control experiments in conjunction is recommended for a more realistic assessment of the distribution and orientation of proteins.

Abstract
A simple method for the isolation of hematoside NeuNG1-Lac-Cer from horse erythrocytes is described. An aliquot of the crude ganglioside fraction was labeled by tritiated sodium borohydride after mild periodate oxidation. The compounds obtained were used as radioactive tracers in column chromatography. Gangliosides were applied onto a silicic acid column and eluted stepwise by solvents of steadily increasing polarity. The major ganglioside, NeuNG1-Lac-Cer, was eluted in a high yield by the solvent mixture chloroform/methanol/water (60:35:8, v/v/v).

Abstract
Surface proteins and glycoproteins of intact human red blood cells were labelled with 125I by the lactoperoxidase method. The radioactive proteins were then separated in each of the Fairbanks and Laemmli one-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis systems. The radioactive polypeptides had different mobilities in the two systems, largely due to the anomalous migration of glycoproteins in polyacrylamide gels. A two-dimensional system was therefore developed using the Fairbanks and Laemmli buffer systems to exploit these anomalies. This procedure clearly resolved radioactive glycoproteins and proteins and enabled the identification of many more surface components than had previously proved possible.

Abstract
Formaldehyde-fixed human erythrocytes were extracted with sodium dodecyl sulfate and with three other solvent systems, at least two of which are known to remove glycolipids quantitatively. The extracted cells possessed the ability to absorb the ABO blood group-specific antibody at about one-third the level of unextracted cells. Treatment of fresh cells with pronase also reduced the ability of the cells to absorb the antibody, further supporting the presence of ABO blood group active glycoprotein in the membrane. Trypsinization of red cells, while removing PAS-1 and partly PAS-2, did not lead to any decrease in the activity. Papainization also did not diminish the activity, although PAS-1, PAS-2, and PAS-3 were removed from the cells. Thus, both glycolipid and glycoprotein contribute to ABO antigens of erythrocytes. Also, none of the three major glycoproteins of the membrane bears this activity.

Abstract
The membranes of living organisms are involved in many aspects of the life, growth and development of all cells. The predominant structural elements of these membranes are lipids and proteins and the basic strucvture of these molecules has been reviewed. The physical properties of the lipid constituents particularly their behavior in aqueous systems has led to the concepts of thermotropic and lyotropic mesomorphism; the interaction between different types of lipid molecules modulate this behavior. Interaction of phospholipids in aqueous systems with cholesterol, ions and drugs have been examined in this context. In addition a variety of model lipid-protein systems have been investigated and the implications of interactions between lipids and different proteins in biological membranes has been evaluated. This leads to a detailed consideration of the way lipids and proteins ae organized in cell membranes and contains an appraisal of the evidence supporting contemporary views of membrane structure. Particular attention has been devoted to the question of how mobile the components are within the structure. Particular attention has been devoted to the question of how mobile the components are within the structure. Finally the biosynthesis, turnover and modulation of the properties of interacting membrane constituents is critically reviewed and possible ways of controlling the behavior of cells and organisms by altering the structural parameters of different membranes has been considered.

Abstract
Extracellular chymotrypsin cleaves the 95 000 dalton protein that migrates in band 3 of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electropherograms of the erythrocyte membrane into fragments of 60 000 and 35 000 daltons, but not further. Minor components of band 3 that remain at the original 95 000 dalton location may be eluted from the membrane by 0.1 N NaOH, indicating that, in contrast to the major component and the chymotryptic fragments, they are not integral membrane constituents. Incubation at neutral pH of chymotrypsinized erythrocytes with the bifunctional anion transport inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyano dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid results in covalent binding of that inhibitor primarily to the 60 000 dalton fragment and some cross-linking of the 60 000 dalton fragment with the 35 000 dalton fragment. Increasing the pH to 9.5 leads to a cross-linking of virtually all of the pairs of chymotryptic fragments and thus to a reconstitution of band 3 with its typical diffuse appearance in the 95 000 dalton region of the SDS-polyacrylamide gels. This indicates that (1) each integral 95 000 dalton protein molecule is capable of binding at least one 4,4'-diisothiocyano dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid molecule; (2) the 35 000 dalton fragment, though it is only weakly stained with Coomassie blue, is present in an amount that is equimolar with that of the 60 000 dalton fragment. Since the number of 4,4'-diisothiocyano dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid binding sites on the protein in band 3/cell is known to be close to the number of band 3 molecules/cell, it is suggested that the cross-linking takes place at a region of the band 3 molecule that is involved in the control of anion transport, Like chymotrypsin, papain digests the band 3 protein from the outer membrane surface. Unlike chymotrypsin, however, papain digestion results in an inhibition of anion exchange. Papain produces a major fragment of 60 000 daltons that differs from the major chymotryptic fragment by at most six amino acid residues. The only detectable difference between the noninhibitory action of chymotrypsin and the inhibitory action of papain on the band 3 protein is that papain is capable of partially digesting the 35000 dalton fragment. No reconstitution of band 3 by cross-linking of the fragments with 4,4'-diisothiocyano dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid can be achieved. Since the 35 000 dalton fragment reacts with one of the two reactive groups of 4,4'-diisothiocyano dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid and is also susceptible to digestion by the inhibitory papain, we suggest that a portion of this peptide participates, together with a portion of the 60 000 dalton fragment, in the control anion transport.

Abstract
1. The enzymic removal of sialic acid residues from the glycoproteins of the human erythrocyte decreases the solubilization of membrane glycoprotein by Triton X-100. 2. The solubilization of asialoglycoprotein by Triton X-100 may be restored by the addition of borate. 3. Use of this non-ionic detergent in the presence of borate, as a general procedure for the mild solubilization of membrane glycoproteins deficient in sialic acid residues, is discussed.

Abstract
Reaction centres purified from a blue-green mutant R-26 of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides can be incorporated into bacteriochlorophyll-less membranes purified from an aerobically-grown bacteriochlorophyll-less mutant 01 of R. sphaeroides. This can be accomplished by raising the temperature of the mixture or by addition of the detergent sodium cholate and its subsequent removal by dilution or dialysis. Optimum conditions for the reconstitution are at 4 degrees C in the presence of 1% cholate and soybean phospholipid (2 : 1, w/w, with membrane protein). Isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation of such preparations shows that reaction centres and light-harvesting pigment-protein complex bind to the membranes. Reconstituted membranes exhibit light-induced steady-state cytochrome absorbance changes resembling those observed in chromatophores prepared from the photosynthetically-grown mutant R-26. The effect on these absorbance changes of varying reaction centre content in the membrane has been studied, and the time course of the interaction between 01 membrane cytochrome c2 and added reaction centre examined. Cytochrome b photoreduction and cytochrome c2 photo-oxidation were observed in the reconstituted preparation; each increased following the addition of antimycin A, suggesting that a cyclic light-driven system had been reconstituted.

Abstract
The metal ion-catalysed transamination reaction has been examined as a means of quantitative amino-terminal analysis of proteins. Application of this method to the erythrocyte membrane protein, spectrin, showed that this protein contained a single amino-terminal residue per 240,000 daltons. This value supports the hypothesis that spectrin is comprised of two polypeptide chains of approx. 220,000 and 250,000 daltons, respectively.

Abstract
Differential centrifugation of suspensions of French-press-disrupted Rhodopseudomonas spheroides yielded a light particulate fraction that was different in many properties from the bulk membrane fraction. It was enriched in cytochrome c and had a low cytochrome b content. When prepared from photosynthetically grown cells this fraction had a very low specific bacteriochlorophyll content. The cytochrome c of the light particles differed in absorption maxima at 77K from cytochrome c2 attached to membranes; there was pronounced splitting of the alpha-band, as is found in cytochrome c2 free in solution. Potentiometric titration at A552--A540 showed the presence of two components that fitted an n = 1 titration; one component had a midpoint redox potential of +345mV, like cytochrome c2 in solution, and the second had E0' at pH 7.0 of +110 mV, and they were present in a ratio of approx. 2:3. Difference spectroscopy at 77K showed that the spectra of the two components were very similar. More of a CO-binding component was present in particles from photosynthetically grown cells. Light membranes purified by centrifugation on gradients of 5--60% (w/w) sucrose retained the two c cytochromes; they contained no detectable succinate-cytochrome c reductase or bacteriochlorophyll and very little ubiquinone, but they contained NADH-cytochrome c reductase and some phosphate. Electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gels showed that the light membranes of aerobically and photosynthetically grown cells were very similar and differed greatly from other membrane fractions of R. spheroides.

Abstract
Treatment of isolated human erythrocyte membranes at pH 7.4 with 0.1-0.5 mM-sodium periodate specifically cross-linked some of the spectrin polypeptides. Treatment with 2 mM-periodate resulted in complete cross-linking of spectrin and partial cross-linking of other polypeptides. The latter treatment also caused aggregation of the intramembrane particles made visible by freeze-fracturing. When membranes that had been treated with 2 mM-periodate were depleted of spectrin by treatment with 0.1 mM-EDTA, extensive aggregation of the intramembrane particles occurred.

Abstract
We have examined the self-association of glycophorin A, the major sialoglycoprotein of the human erythrocyte membrane, using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gels and circular dichroism. Pure glycophorin A has a tendency to form multiple bands on SDS gels at positions of higher apparent molecular weight than the PAS 1 and PAS 2 bands previously seen. These high molecular weight bands do not have mobilities corresponding to integral polymers of PAS 1 and PAS 2. Circular dichroism spectra of solutions giving rise to these bands or to PAS 1 and PAS 2 bands alone, indicate that these species all have essentially the same peptide conformation.

Abstract
1. Two methods of preparing pig heart soluble malate dehydrogenase are described. A slow method yields an enzyme composed of three electrophoretically separable subforms. The more rapid method reproducibly gives a high yield of an enzyme that consists predominantly of the least acid subform. 2. The A(1%) (1cm) of the protein was redetermined as 15 at 280nm. By using this value the enzyme molecule was found to contain two independent and indistinguishable NADH-binding sites in titrations with NADH. 3. No evidence was found for the dissociation of the enzyme in the concentration range 0.02-7.2mum. 4. l-Malate (0.1m) tightened the binding of NADH to both pig and ox heart enzyme (2-fold), but, in contrast with the report by Mueggler, Dahlquist & Wolfe [(1975) Biochemistry14, 3490-3497], did not cause co-operative interactions between the binding sites. 5. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate had no effect on the binding of NADH to the pig heart enzyme, but with the ox heart enzyme the NADH is slowly oxidized. This slow oxidation explains the ;sigmoidal' binding curves obtained when NADH was added to ox heart soluble malate dehydrogenase in the presence of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate [Cassman (1973) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.53, 666-672] without the postulate of site-site interactions. 6. It is concluded that neither l-malate nor fructose 1,6-bisphosphate could in vivo modulate the activity of soluble malate dehydrogenase and alter the rates of transport of NADH between the cytosol and the mitochondrion. 7. Details of the preparation of soluble malate dehydrogenase have been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50080 (8 pages) at the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies may be obtained under the terms given in Biochem.

Abstract
Highly glycosylated, water-soluble ABH-specific sphingolipids, designated macroglycolipids, were isolated in high yield, up to 5 mg per unit of blood, from the crude human-erythrocyte-membrane glycoprotein fraction which is obtained by extraction of the membranes with chloroform/methanol/water. Both serological tests and radioactive labelling experiments indicated that these substances, rather than the glycoproteins, are the principal ABH-components in this fraction. The activities of A-specific, B-specific and H-specific macroglycolipids were very high, approximately 0.1 microgram inhibiting four hemagglutinating doses of the respective agglutinating reagents, and were thus comparable to those of secreted blood-group ABH-specific glycoproteins. The substances were stable to mild alkaline conditions. They contained fucose, galactose, glucosamine, glucose, sialic acid, sphingosine and fatty acids; blood-group-A-specific substances contained, in addition, galactosamine. No amino acids were detected. Assuming one glycosyl residue per molecule, the average number of sugars in A and B macroglycolipids was 31, and their molecular weights approximately 6100. The presence of beta-D-galactosidase-labile and sialic acid residues indicated that these substances contain nonreducing termini additional to the ABH immunodeterminants. In the B macroglycolipid, the ratio between nonreducing terminal alpha-D-galactopyranosyl and beta-D-galactopyranosyl residues was 1.7:1.0. The macroglycolipids formed clear aqueous solutions at concentrations as high as 30 mg/ml, were insoluble in 60--70% aqueous ethanol, and did not migrate on thin-layer chromatography unless they were acetylated. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate showed the macroglycolipids to be a heterogeneous mixture migrating throughout most of the region in which the periodic acid/Schiff-positive membrane glycoproteins are found. On the basis of the evidence presented, it is concluded that macroglycolipids are the predominant ABH-specific component in human erythrocyte membranes, and that they most likely account for previous observations of ABH activity in membrane glycoprotein fractions.

Abstract
Band 3 is the predominant polypeptide and the purported mediator of anion transport in the human erythrocyte membrane. Against a background of minor and apparently unrelated polypeptides of similar electrophoretic mobility, and despite apparent heterogeneity in its glycosylation, the bulk of band 3 exhibits uniform and characteristic behavior. This integral glycoprotein appears to exist as a noncovalent dimer of two approximately 93,000-dalton chains which span the membrane asymmetrically. The protein is hydrophobic in its composition and in its behavior in aqueous solution and is best solubilized and purified in detergent. It can be cleaved while membrane-bound into large, topographically defined segments. An integral, outer-surface, 38,000-dalton fragment bears most of the band 3 carbohydrate. A 17,000-dalton, hydrophobic glycopeptide fragment spans the membrane. A approximately 40,000-dalton hydrophilic segment represents the cytoplasmic domain. In vitro, glyceraldehyde 3-P dehydrogenase and aldolase bind reversibly, in a metabolie-sensitive fashion, to this cytoplasmic segment. The cytoplasmic domain also bears the amino terminus of this polypeptide, in contrast to other integral membrane proteins. Recent electron microscopic analysis suggests that the poles of the band 3 molecule can be seen by freeze-etching at the two original membrane surfaces, while freeze-fracture reveals the transmembrane disposition of band 3 dimer particles. There is strong evidence that band 3 mediates 1:1 anion exchange across the membrane through a conformational cycle while remaining fixed and asymmetrical. Its cytoplasmic pole can be variously perturbed and even excised without a significant alteration of transport function. However, digestion of the outer-surface region leads to inhibition of transport, so that both this segment and the membrane-spanning piece (which is selectively labeled by covalent inhibitors of transport) may be presumed to be involved in transport. Genetic polymorphism has been observed in the structure and immunogenicity of the band 3 polypeptide but this feature has not been related to variation in anion transport or other band 3 activities.

Abstract
The irreversible inhibition of glucose transport by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB) has been used to identify membrane proteins possibly associated with glucose transport in human erythrocytes. D-Glucose was shown to enhance significantly the rate of FDNB inhibition of transport when present during the reaction, whereas cytochalasin B (CB) and D-maltose retarded this FDNB inhibition of transport. This modulation of the inhibition reaction formed basis for a double isotopic differential labeling technique using [14C]- and [3H] FDNB followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to distinguish transport-associated polypeptides from bulk membrane dinitrophenylated proteins. Reactions in the presence of CB or maltose revealed the presence of a differentially labeled polypeptide(s), with a molecular weight of approximately 60,000-65,000 daltons. This effect could in part be reversed in the presence of D-glucose but not L-glucose. Reactions in the presence of D-glucose resulted in two regions of differential labeling. One region was around 200,000 daltons and the other corresponded to a 90,000-dalton band. Extraction of membrane proteins with p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate resulted in no loss of the 60,000-dalton peak, indicating that this labeled polypeptide(s) was firmly anchored in the hydrophobic core of the membrane. These results indicate that as many as three membrane polypeptides are differentially labeled by FDNB under conditions strongly associated with the inhibition of the glucose transport system and may be involved in the regulation of glucose transport.

Abstract
Human erythrocyte membranes of the En(a-) blood group lack the major sialoglycoprotein (glycophorin). By absorption of a crude antiglycophorin antiserum with En(a-) membranes a specific antiglycophorin antiserum was obtained. By immune electron microscopy we showed that glycophorin is randomly distributed on the surface of normal erythrocytes. When polycationized ferritin, which mainly binds to glycophorin, was used as a marker a similar even labeling of normal erythrocyte membranes was seen. En(a-) membranes bound much less of this marker. In freeze-fracturing the intramembrane particles of both membrane types had a similar distribution and appeared in equal amounts. However, partial removal of spectrin from these membranes, followed by incubation at pH 6 resulted in more extensive aggregation of the particles in En(a-) membranes than in normal membranes. The results may be interpreted as glycophorin contributing by electrostatic repulsion to the random distribution of the intramembrane particles in normal cells. This repulsion is weakened in in En(a-) cells by the lack of glycophorin.

Abstract
An affinity chromatograpy method utilising transferrin liganded agarose has been developed for the partial purification of transferrin binding components from Triton X-100 solubilised rabbit reticulocyte plasma membranes. A protein of molecular weight 30-35 000, shown to be located at the reticulocyte extra-cellular surface by lactoperoxidase 125I labelling, was isolated by the affinity method. The protein appeared to form a dimer of molecular weight 65-70 000 in Triton X-100 solution and was shown to associate with both 125I-labelled and unlabelled rabbit transferrin to form a high molecular weight complex in the same solution. N-[14C]Ethylmaleimide appeared to disrupt this association with transferrin and inhibit the formation of the dimer in Triton X-100 by binding to the protein. The protein appeared as a broad band of molecular weight 40 000 on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Abstract
The major human erythrocyte membrane (MN-) sialoglycoprotein was purified from MM, MN and NN cells using detergent gel and ion exchange chromatography. N-terminal analyses with dansyl-chloride revealed serine in preparations from MM and leucine in those from NN erythrocytes, whereas glycoprotein isolated from MN cells contained both the above amino acids. These data strongly suggest that the above residues may represent the structural difference between the M and N antigens. Evidence was also obtained that the Ss-glycoprotein, which is associated with "N" activity, exhibits the same N-terminal amino acid (leucine) as the MN glycoprotein from NN cells.
