Abstract excerpt
Erythroid spectrin is the main component of the red cell membrane skeleton, which is very important in determining the shape, resistance to mechanical stresses and deformability of red cells. Previously we demonstrated that human erythroid alpha-spectrin is ubiquitinated in vitro and in vivo, and using recombinant peptides we identified on repeat 17 the main ubiquitination site of alpha-spectrin. In order to...
