  • Title: Properties of the strongly immobilized signal observed in spin-labeled erythrocytes.

    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1983 Dec 21; 736(2):150-6. PubMed ID: 6317031.
    Abstract:
    A strongly immobilized signal from fatty acid spin labels was observed in human erythrocytes treated with oxidizing agents such as glutaraldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, phenylhydrazine and copper-ortho-phenanthroline. This signal was also observed in freshly prepared ghosts treated with potassium superoxide and in old erythrocyte ghosts. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of these samples demonstrated the diffuse, nondiscrete bands of high molecular weight due to the cross-linking of membrane proteins. The temperature and pH dependences of the outer hyperfine splitting of this signal were very similar to those of bovine serum albumin. We propose that the strongly immobilized signal reflects the interaction of the lipids with the cross-linked products of membrane proteins.
