Thin-section and critical-point-dried fracture-labeled preparations are used to determine the distribution and partition of glycophorin-associated wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) binding sites over protoplasmic and exoplasmic faces of freeze-fractured human erythrocyte membranes. Most wheat germ agglutinin binding sites are found over exoplasmic faces. Label is sparse over the protoplasmic faces. These results contrast with previous observations of the partition of band 3 component where biochemical analysis and fracture-label of concanavalin A (Con A) binding sites show preferential partition of this transmembrane protein with the protoplasmic face. Presence of characteristic proportions of WGA and Con A binding sites over each fracture face is interpreted to indicate the operation of a stochastic process during freeze-fracture. This process appears modulated by the relative expression of each transmembrane protein at either surface as well as by their association to components of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton.

Saturable bilirubin binding to human erythrocyte membranes was measured before and after digestion with neuraminidase and phospholipases. Neuraminidase-treated erythrocyte membranes did not show any change in their binding properties, indicating that gangliosides could be excluded as candidates for saturable bilirubin-binding sites on erythrocyte membranes. Although bilirubin-binding properties of the membranes did not change after phospholipase D digestion, either, phospholipase C treatment greatly enhanced bilirubin binding. Thus it is suggested that a negatively charged phosphoric acid moiety of phospholipids on the membrane surface may play a role to prevent a large amount of bilirubin from binding to the membranes. Further saturable bilirubin binding to inside-out sealed erythrocyte membrane vesicles showed values comparable with those of the right-side-out sealed membranes, suggesting that the bilirubin-binding sites may be distributed on both outer and inner surfaces of the membranes, or may exist in the membranes where bilirubin may be accessible from either side.

Abstract This study described the binding of platelet plasma membranes to either control or thrombin-activated platelets. Glycoproteins in plasma membranes isolated from human platelets were labeled by oxidation with periodate followed by reduction with [3H]NaBH4. Labeled membranes were incubated with either control or thrombin-activated platelets. The amount of membranes bound was measured by separating platelets with bound membranes from solution by rapid centrifugation through 27% sucrose and determining the amount of radioactivity associated with platelets. Five- to sevenfold more membranes bound to thrombin- activated platelets than to control platelets. This enhanced binding of labeled membranes was completely inhibited by an excess of unlabeled platelet membranes. Human erythrocyte membranes had little affinity for either washed or thrombin-activated platelets and therefore did not compete for platelet-membrane binding. Binding of platelet membranes to thrombin-treated platelets was inhibited by prior incubation of the platelets with PGI2 suggesting that the enhanced binding of membranes was to activated platelets. This study demonstrates that the purified platelet membranes have functional sites that can mediate membrane binding to platelets and that quantitation of membrane binding appears to reflect the increased aggregation capability of activated platelets.
