Membrane vesicles were prepared by incubation of human erythrocytes with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine [3] and isolated by isopycnic centrifugation on Dextran density gradients. Protein analyses were carried out with crossed immunoelectrophoresis and dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The right-side-out-oriented membrane vesicles contained membrane and cytoplasmic proteins of the erythrocyte but lacked cytoskeletal components. Comparison of proteins in vesicles and erythrocyte membranes showed that acetylcholinesterase was enriched two to six times in the vesicles relative to both membrane-spanning proteins, band 3, and glycophorin. Two further, hitherto unidentified, sialic acid-containing membrane antigens were found in the vesicles. Both faced the outside of the membranes and were enriched two to seven times. Ankyrin was not present in the membrane vesicles and spectrin could not be detected by dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We suggest that the redistribution of proteins in the vesicles reflects differences in their interactions with other membrane components and their relative mobility within the erythrocyte membrane.
