Abstract The erythrocyte membrane inhibitor of reactive lysis (MIRL) is an 18-Kd protein that controls complement-mediated hemolysis by restricting the activity of the membrane attack complex. MIRL expression on the erythrocytes of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is abnormally low, and the greater susceptibility of PNH erythrocytes to complement is causally related to this deficiency. Inasmuch as other proteins that are deficient in PNH are anchored to the membrane through a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol moiety, studies were undertaken to determine if MIRL shares this structural feature. Normal human erythrocytes that had been radiolabeled with 125I were incubated with phosphatidylinositol- specific phospholipase C (PIPLC), and the supernate and the solubilized membrane proteins were immunoprecipitated using anti-MIRL antiserum. The MIRL that was specifically released into the supernate had an Mr of 19 Kd, while the MIRL that remained bound to the membrane had an Mr of 18 Kd. A quantitative assay showed that approximately 10% of erythrocyte MIRL was susceptible to PIPLC; however, treatment with PIPLC had no effect on either the electrophoretic mobility or the functional activity of purified MIRL. These studies show that the effects of PIPLC on MIRL are similar to those observed for other human erythrocyte membrane proteins that are anchored by a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol moiety.

Glycation of human erythrocyte membrane proteins was induced by incubation in vitro with high concentrations (80 mM or 200 mM) of D-glucose for 3 or 6 days. The extent of glycation was quantified from the covalent incorporation of 3H by reduction of the glucose glycation products with NaB3H4. For membranes incubated for 3 days with 80 mM-D-glucose, glycation in vitro of Band 4.5 (containing the glucose transporter) was equivalent to 0.11 mol of glucose/mol of glucose transporter, compared with 3H labelling in 3-day-incubated control membranes of 0.055 mol of glucose/mol of glucose transporter. In membranes incubated for 6 days with 200 mM-D-glucose, glycation increased to 0.21 mol of glucose/mol of glucose transporter, whereas the controls without glucose had 0.11 mol of glucose/mol of glucose transporter. Glycation in vitro was accompanied by a fall in the Bmax of binding of [3H]cytochalasin B (a competitive inhibitor of glucose transport), without any change in the binding affinity. The data suggest that glycated glucose transporters have decreased ability to bind cytochalasin B. It is proposed that glycation can alter glucose transporter activity.
