  • Title: [The cytoskeletal proteins of erythrocytes].
    Author: Goncharov EI, Pinaev GP.
    Journal: Tsitologiia; 1988 Jan; 30(1):5-18. PubMed ID: 3282371.
    Abstract:
    The erythrocyte membrane skeleton is composed of the number of proteins isolated and characterized. One of the major proteins of cytoskeleton is actin presented in erythrocytes in the form of short protofilaments. This review will focus on the manner of attachment of actin protofilaments to the red cell membrane, and on the relationships between skeleton membrane proteins. Membrane skeleton proteins in erythrocytes are not unique. Recently a lot of proteins similar to the red cell membrane skeleton proteins were found in a wide variety of non-erythroid cells. This fact gives the opportunity to suppose the existence of a unique protein system in erythroid and non-erythroid cells which provides the attachment of actin filaments to cell membranes and which might be the centre for the assembling of actin structures in the cortical cytoplasm.
