Erythrocyte spectrin, isolated by aqueous extraction of erythrocyte ghosts, may be freed from contaminating membrane lipids and small amounts of other proteins by gel chromatography in 5 or 10 mM deoxycholate. The purified protein, in deoxycholate, is a mixture of monomers and dimers, both highly asymmetric molecules. The hydrodynamic properties of the dimer closely resemble those of muscle myosin, and spectrin and myosin also have similar circular dichroism spectra. The proportion of dimer to monomer in the purified protein varies from one preparation to another, an observation for which there is no simple explanation. In the absence of deoxycholate, spectrin associated beyond the dimer stage, possibly by loose end-to-end aggregation involving hydrophobic forces.
