Abstract
We provide a review of Spectrin isoform function in the cytoplasm, the nucleus, the cell surface, and in intracellular signaling. We then discuss the importance of Spectrin’s E2/E3 chimeric ubiquitin conjugating and ligating activity in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Finally we present spectrin isoform subunit specific human diseases. We have created the Spectrinome, from the Human Proteome, Human Reactome and Human Atlas data and demonstrated how it can be a useful tool in visualizing and understanding spectrins myriad of cellular functions.Impact statementSpectrin was for the first 12 years after its discovery thought to be found only in erythrocytes. In 1981, Goodman and colleagues1found that spectrin-like molecules were ubiquitously found in non-erythroid cells leading to a great multitude of publications over the next thirty eight years. The discovery of multiple spectrin isoforms found associated with every cellular compartment, and representing 2-3% of cellular protein, has brought us to today’s understanding that spectrin is a scaffolding protein, with its own E2/E3 chimeric ubiquitin conjugating ligating activity that is involved in virtually every cellular function. We cover the history, localized functions of spectrin isoforms, human diseases caused by mutations, and provide the spectrinome: a useful tool for understanding the myriad of functions for one of the most important proteins in all eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
Quantitative changes in the red blood cell membrane proteome in sickle cell disease were analyzed using the two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis 2D-DIGE technique. From over 500 analyzed two-dimensional gel spots, we found 49 protein gel spots whose content in sickle cell membranes were changed by at least 2.5-fold as compared to control cells. In 38 cases we observed an increase and in 11 cases a decrease in content in the sickle cell membranes. The proteins of interest were identified by in-gel tryptic digestion followed by liquid chromatography in line with tandem mass spectrometry. From 38 analyzed gel spots, we identified 44 protein forms representing different modifications of 22 original protein sequences. The majority of the identified proteins fall into small groups of related proteins of the following five categories: actin accessory proteins—four proteins, components of lipid rafts—two proteins, scavengers of oxygen radicals—two proteins, protein repair participants—six proteins, and protein turnover components-three proteins. The number of proteins whose content in sickle RBC membrane is decreased is noticeably smaller, and most are either components of lipid rafts or actin accessory proteins. Elevated content of protein repair participants as well as oxygen radical scavengers may reflect the increased oxidative stress observed in sickle cells.

Abstract
Production of abnormal hemoglobin (HbS) in sickle-cell disease (SCD) results in its polymerization in deoxygenated conditions and in sickled-RBC formation. Dense RBCs (DRBCs), defined as density >1.11 and characterized by increased rigidity are absent in normal AA subjects, but present at percentages that vary of a patient to another remaining stable throughout adulthood for each patient. Polymerized HbS has reduced affinity for oxygen, demonstrated by the rightward shift of the oxygen-dissociation curve, leading to disturbances in oxygen transport. Ninety-two SCD patients' total RBCs were separated into LightDRBC (LRBC) (d < 1.11 g/mL) and DRBC fractions. Venous blood partial oxygen pressure and RBC-fraction-deoxygenation and -reoxygenation Hb-oxygen-equilibrium curves were determined. All patients took a 6-minute walking test (6MWT); 10 had results before and after >6 months on hydroxyurea. 6MWT time with SpO2 < 88% (TSpO2 < 88) assessed the physiological impact of exertion. Elevated mean corpuscular hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations, decreased %HbF, and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerates in DRBCs modulated Hb-oxygen affinity. Deoxygenation and reoxygenation Hb-oxygen equilibrium curves differed between normal Hb AA and SS RBCs and between LRBCs and DRBCs, with rightward shifts confirming HbS-polymerization's role in affinity loss. In bivariate analyses, 50% Hb saturation correlated positively with %DRBCs (P < 0.0001, r(2) = 0.34) and negatively with %HbF (P < 0.0001, r(2) = 0.25). The higher the %DRBCs, the longer the TSpO2 88 (P = 0.04). Hydroxyurea was associated with significantly shorter TSpO2 < 88 (P = 0.01). We report that the %DRBCs directly affects SCD patients' SpO2 during exertion; hydroxyurea improves oxygen affinity and lowers the %DRBCs. Am. J.

Abstract
In this minireview, we cover the discovery of the human erythrocyte α spectrin E2/E3 ubiquitin conjugating/ligating enzymatic activity and the specific cysteines involved. We then discuss the consequences when this activity is partially inhibited in sickle cell disease and the possibility that the same attenuation is occurring in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. We finish by discussing the reasons for believing that nonerythroid α spectrin isoforms (I and II) also have this activity and the importance of testing this hypothesis. If correct, this would suggest that the nonerythroid spectrin isoforms play a major role in protein ubiquitination in all cell types. This would open new fields in experimental biology focused on uncovering the impact that this enzymatic activity has upon protein-protein interactions, protein turnover, cellular signaling, and many other functions impacted by spectrin, including DNA repair.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of the chemokines IL-8 and RANTES on the activity of the Gardos channel (GC) of sickle red blood cells (SSRBCs). SSRBCs expressing the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC) incubated under oxygenated conditions exhibit GC activation. The deoxygenation-stimulated K(+) loss via the GC is activated by the chemokines in the Duffy-positive SSRBCs. The percentage of cells with high density is 17 times higher in the Duffy-positive group. These findings are consistent with a greater susceptibility of Duffy-positive SSRBCs to inflammatory chemokines leading to GC activation and cellular dehydration and suggest a coupling, promoted by the sickling process, between DARC and the GC.

Abstract
Overproduction of reactive oxygen species associated with several diseases including sickle cell anaemia reduces the concentration of glutathione, a principal cellular antioxidant. Glutathione depletion in sickle erythrocytes increases their conversion to irreversible sickle cells that promote vaso-occlusion. Therapeutically, N-acetylcysteine partially restores glutathione concentrations but its mode of action is controversial. Following glutathione depletion, glutathione synthesis is limited by the supply of cysteine and it has been assumed that deacetylation of N-acetylcysteine within erythrocytes provides cysteine to accelerate glutathione production. To determine whether this is the case we studied the kinetics of transport and deacetylation of N-acetylcysteine. Uptake of N-acetylcysteine had a first order rate constant of 2.40+/-0.070min(-1) and only saturated above 10mM. Inhibition experiments showed that 56% of N-acetylcysteine transport was via the anion exchange protein. Deacetylation, measured using (1)H NMR, had a K(m) of 1.49+/-0.16mM and V(max) of 2.61+/-0.08micromolL(-1)min(-1). Oral doses of N-acetylcysteine increase glutathione concentrations in sickle erythrocytes at plasma N-acetylcysteine concentrations of approximately 10microM. At this concentration, calculated rates of N-acetylcysteine uptake and deacetylation were approximately 5% of the rate required to maintain normal glutathione production. We concluded that on oral administration, intracellular deacetylation of N-acetylcysteine supplies little of the cysteine required for accelerated glutathione production. Instead, N-acetylcysteine acts by freeing bound cysteine in the plasma that then enters the erythrocytes. To be effective, intracellular cysteine precursors must be designed to enter erythrocytes rapidly and employ enzymes with high activity within erythrocytes to liberate the cysteine.

Abstract
Erythrocyte spectrin contains E2/E3 ubiquitin conjugating/ligating activity in its alpha subunit. Ankyrin is a target of spectrin's E2/E3 ubiquitin conjugating/ligating activity in vitro and in vivo. We compare the ubiquitination levels of ankyrin mediated by control and sickle cell spectrin using a biotinylated ubiquitin cell-free assay. Sickle cell spectrin has diminished ability to transfer ubiquitin from an intermediate spectrin-ubiquitin thioester adduct (alpha' spectrin) to ankyrin, which may be due to glutathiolation of spectrin's E2 and/or E3 active site cysteines. There is also a diminished ability of the sickle cell ankyrin to serve as target of spectrin's E2/E3 activity, probably due to oxidative damage to ankyrin. A direct correlation exists between the alpha'/alpha spectrin ratio and spectrin's ability to ubiquitinate ankyrin. There is also an inverse correlation between severity of the disease and the alpha'/alpha spectrin ratio in SS erythrocytes. These results suggest that reduced spectrin E2/E3 activity is an important determinant of sickle cell severity.

Abstract
We compare the effects of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and phenazine methosulphate (PMS) on Gardos channel activity in normal human red cells. Both stimulate channel activity, both are dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+, and neither is affected by inhibitors of protein (de)phosphorylation. Of the two, PMS has a considerably greater effect. In addition, a major difference is that whilst CDNB has a greater stimulatory effect in oxygenated cells, by contrast, PMS is more effective in deoxygenated cells. These actions are correlated with ca. 30% inhibition of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (PMCA) and an increased sensitivity of the Gardos channel to Ca2+ (EC50 falling to about 150 nM). These findings are important in understanding how oxidants alter red cell cation permeability and may be relevant to the abnormal permeability phenotype shown by deoxygenated sickle cells.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) efflux from human erythrocytes was first described in the 1950s. Subsequent studies revealed that a K(+)-specific membrane protein (the Gárdos channel) was responsible for this phenomenon (the Gárdos effect). In recent years several types of Ca-activated K(+) channel have been identified and studied in a wide range of cells, with the erythrocyte Gárdos channel serving as both a model for a broader physiological perspective, and an intriguing component of erythrocyte function. The existence of this channel has raised a number of questions. For example, what is its role in the establishment and maintenance of ionic distribution across the red cell membrane? What role might it play in erythrocyte development? To what extent is it active in circulating erythrocytes? What are the cell-physiological implications of its dysfunction?This review summarises current knowledge of this membrane protein with respect to its function and structure, its physiological roles (some putative) and its contribution to various disease states, and it provides an introduction to adaptable NMR methods, which is our own area of technical expertise, for such ion transport analysis.

Abstract
1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB), which causes oxidative stress through depletion of reduced glutathione (GSH), increases the passive K+ permeability of red cells. In this paper, we investigated the effects of CDNB (1 mM) on the activities of the K+-Cl- cotransporter (KCC; measured as Cl--dependent K+ influx) and the Gardos channel (taken as clotrimazole-sensitive K+ influx, 5 microM) in human red cells, using 86Rb+ as a K+ congener. 45Ca2+ was used to study passive Ca2+ entry and active Ca2+ efflux via the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump. Both the Gardos channel and KCC were stimulated in both normal and sickle red cells. In sickle cells, stimulation of KCC was similar in oxygenated and deoxygenated cells; that of the Gardos channel was greater in deoxygenated cells. In normal red cells, stimulation of both pathways was greater in oxygenated cells (by 4 +/- 1-fold; all means +/- S.E.M., n = 3). The effects on the Gardos channel were dependent on extracellular Ca2+ and were associated with inhibition of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (by 29 +/- 3 %, P < 0.01) and increased Ca2+ sensitivity of the channel (EC50 for [Ca2+]i reduced from 260 +/- 26 to 175 +/- 15 nM; P < 0.05). Cell volume, pHi, ATP levels and passive Ca2+ entry were not affected by CDNB. The effects on KCC were inhibited (93 +/- 6 %) by prior treatment with the protein phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A (100 nM) and were not additive with stimulation by N-ethylmaleimide (1 mM), regardless of the order of addition. These findings are therefore consistent with inhibition of a regulatory protein kinase, although stimulation of the conjugate protein phosphatase(s) may also occur. KCC stimulation was also Ca2+ dependent. These findings are important for understanding how GSH depletion alters membrane permeability and how to protect against red cell dehydration.

Abstract
The involvement of red blood cell spectrin in the ubiquitination process was studied. Spectrin was found to form two ubiquitin-associated derivatives, a DTT-sensitive ubiquitin adduct and a DTT-insensitive conjugate, characteristic intermediate and final products of the ubiquitination reaction cascade. In addition to spectrin and ubiquitin, ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1) and ATP were necessary and sufficient to form both the spectrin-ubiquitin adduct and conjugate. No exogenous ubiquitin-conjugating (E2) or ligase (E3) activities were required, suggesting that erythrocyte spectrin is an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme able to target itself. Both ubiquitin adduct and conjugate were linked to the alpha subunit of spectrin, suggesting that the ubiquitin-conjugating (UBC) domain and its target regions reside on the same subunit.
