  • Title: [Changes of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in erythrocyte band 3 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency].
    Author: Yu G, Li J, Tian X, Lin H, Wang X.
    Journal: Zhonghua Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi; 2002 Nov; 23(11):565-7. PubMed ID: 12482337.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the hemolytic mechanism of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient erythrocytes in the view of phosphorylation of membrane protein. METHODS: The alternation of membrane protein phosphorylation and the effect of dithiothreitol (DTT) on protein phosphorylation were analysed by Western blot technique. The activity of phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPs) was determined by using p-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate. RESULTS: Tyrosine phosphorylation of band 3 protein was obviously enhanced in G6PD-deficient erythrocytes. The activity of PTPs was low compared to the normal erythrocytes. The level of phosphotyrosine in G6PD-deficient erythrocytes incubated with DTT was almost the same as in those without DTT. The results were consistent with the activity of PTPs. CONCLUSIONS: PTPs activity reduction and tyrosine phosphorylation enhancement induced by oxidation in G6PD deficiency play an important role in erythrocytes hemolysis. However, the alternation of thiol group is not the only factor affecting the activity of PTPs in G6PD-deficient erythrocytes.
