Abstract excerpt
The impaired ability of spectrin dimers to self-associate into tetramers is one of the most frequent defects associated with hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) and its more serious form, hereditary pyropoikylocytosis (HPP). We previously described four proteic variants of the spectrin (Sp) alpha I tryptic domain associated with the Sp dimer self-association defect (Sp alpha I/78, Sp alpha I/74, Sp alpha I/65, Sp...
