The basis of echinocytosis of the erythrocyte by glucose depletion.
CELL BIOCHEMISTRY AND FUNCTION(2011)
摘要
Echinocytosis of erythrocytes by glucose depletion is attributed to adenosine triphosphate depletion, but its process still remains unknown. A mechanism of control of the erythrocyte shape has been previously proposed in which the anion exchanger Band 3, linked to flexible membrane skeleton, has a pivotal role. Recruitments of its inward facing (Band 3i) and outward facing (Band 3o) conformations contract and relax the membrane skeleton, thus promoting echinocytosis and stomatocytosis, respectively. The Band 3o/Band 3i equilibrium ratio increases with the increase of the Donnan equilibrium ratio, and preferential inward and outward transport by Band 3 of substrates slowly transported are echinocytogenic and stomatocytogenic, respectively. The mechanism suggests the following process. The major organic phosphate 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate is catabolized to lactate to form inorganic phosphate, 3-phosphoglycerate, and adenosine triphosphate. The last two products can be reversibly transformed into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and adenosine diphosphate by the glycolytic enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase, thus allowing 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate formation by 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate synthase/phosphatase. The catabolic and cyclic processes initially oppose echinocytosis by increasing the Donnan ratio and outward transport of slowly transported inorganic phosphate by Band 3 (its basic form is transported with a hydrogen ion). Echinocytosis occurs when inward transport of this product becomes predominant. This process can rationalize direct and indirect observations. Copyright (c) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
