pubmed:abstractText
The water permeability of human erythrocytes has been monitored by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) before and after treatment of the cells with various sulfhydryl reagents. Preincubation of the cells with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), a non-inhibitory sulfhydryl reagent, results in a faster and more sensitive inhibition of water exchange by mercurials. The inhibition of water exchange by p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate (PCMBS) was maximal at a binding of approximately 10 nmol PCMBS per mg protein when non-specific sulfhydryl groups are blocked by NEM. Inhibition by PCMBS has been correlated with the binding of 203Hg to erythrocyte membrane proteins. A significant binding of label to band 3 and the polypeptides in band 4.5 occurs, with approximately 1 mol of mercurial bound per mol of protein. Inhibition of water transport by sulfhydryl reagents does not induce major morphological changes in the cells as assessed by freeze-fracture and scanning electron microscopy.
