    Abstract Energy depleted human red cells subsequently exposed to iodoacetate (IAA) develop, upon the addition of Ca, a marked increase in K permeability, while Na permeability is unaltered. The kinetic characteristics of this augmented K permeability indicate that the transport process is membrane mediated. Thus, the inward and outward rate constants for K increase as the concentration of external K is increased reaching maximum values between 2 to 5MM; further increases in external K results in a partial reduction of the rate constants. In addition, the Ca-stimulated K transport system displays counterflow of(42)K during its influx when a large gradient of(39)K exists (inside high, outside low). Furthermore, the Ca-induced K transport is inhibited by ouabain. The sensitivity of the Ca-induced system to ouabain parallels the action of ouabain on the Na-K pump. At least part of the increased K transport occurs through a preexisting pathway since ouabain bound to cells before exposure to Ca and IAA results in an inhibition of K outflux. Since ouabain does not alter the affinity of the cells for Ca, it is concluded that at least a portion of the increased K transport results from Ca acting to increase the turnover rate of the same system which serves as the Na-K pump in normal red cells.

    Abstract The interaction of the fluorescent anion 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) with erythrocyte membranes was studied as a function of the charges in the membrane. The membrane charges were altered by including in the incubation medium the organic ions tetraphenylboron (TPB(-)), tetraphenylarsonium (TPA(+)) and tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP(+)) which differ in charge but have similar structure and high affinity for the membrane. TPB(-) decreases whereas TPA(+) and TPP(+) increase ANS fluorescence arising from the membrane. The fluorescence changes are accompanied by variations in the affinity and capacity of the membrane for ANS. The fluorescence arising under conditions where all the ANS present is within the membrane (by extrapolation to infinite membrane concentration) does not vary with these ions. Salicylate and SCN(-) which inhbit anion permeability also decrease ANS fluorescence with no apparent change in quantum yield. These results indicate that ANS exists as an anion in the membrane, associated with the regions involved in ion permeability, and that the concentration of ANS in the membrane is a function of the concentration of all the ions present in the medium and their relative affinities for the membrane. Thus, variations in ANS fluorescence reflect redistributions of the ANS ions following changes in electrostatic interactions with the membrane fixed charges.

    Abstract The properties of ghosts prepared by hypotonic hemolysis at various ratios of cells (C) to hemolyzing solution (H) have been studied. At all ratios, hemoglobin (Hb) was found to be distributed equally between the ghost and supernatant compartments. Techniques employing Fe(59)-labelled Hb showed that during hemolysis all of the Hb is exchangeable and that following hemolysis the ghost is impermeable to Hb. Ghosts containing defined fractions of their original Hb were prepared by appropriately altering the ratio C/H. When washed and suspended in 0.17 M NaCl-PO(4)-buffered media, the ghosts returned to their initial volume, recovered normal shape, and behaved as osmometers. The rate of rehemolysis of these reconstituted ghosts was observed to be proportional to the concentration of Hb in the ghosts. The rate of rehemolysis was accelerated by the addition of n-butyl alcohol (BA). For a given concentration of BA, temperature, and Hb content the rate of rehemolysis was minimal around the isoelectric point of Hb. Rehemolysis by BA was inhibited by the addition of sucrose to the medium. K influx and outflux were measured and found to be increased by the addition of BA and not influenced by the presence of sucrose. These results on the rehemolytic characteristics of ghosts are consistent with and support the colloid-osmotic theory of hemolysis.

    Abstract The outflux of Na(24) from prelabeled ghosts was measured under various conditions. Prelabeling was accomplished by hypotonic hemolysis of intact human cells in the presence of tracer Na(24). The resultant ghosts when subsequently washed were found to retain 10 to 20 per cent of the initial Na(24). Separate experiments indicated that this trapped amount resides in only a portion of ghosts comprising the total population. The characteristics of the outflux of this residual Na(24) indicated that the ghost system closely resembles intact red cells. The outflux of Na from ghosts could be divided into three components: active and passive transport and exchange diffusion. The active transport system, necessarily driven by metabolism, required the presence of K in the extracellular phase and was blocked by strophanthidin. The concentration dependence of the Na pump flux on the external K and internal Na appeared the same in ghosts as in intact cells. Certain other features of this ghost system are also discussed.

    Abstract This review covers not only the current status of the field but also the evidence on which the concept of ATP compartmentation is based. It is hoped that such a survey may help to stimulate work in this area and to broaden the appreciation of its reality and functions. Some may be surprised to learn that mature human erythrocytes, known to be devoid of intracellular organelles, can sequester ATP, but they may not have taken into account the possible roles of the complex cytoskeleton that is tethered to the cells' plasma membrane. The functional significance of the ATP pools springs from the likelihood that they serve as both an energy reserve, capable of sustaining ion pumping during periods of transient stress, as well as a putative transduction mechanism by which the cell's cytoskeleton may sense cellular energy stores.
