Cell-Cell Interactions
Single Particle Tracking (SPT)
Single-particle tracking is used to track the movement of protein molecules because protein
movements are limited by interactions with the Spectrin membrane, extracellular materials and
other proteins. Inference from SPT for integral membrane proteins are as follows:
Some proteins are capable of diffusing
randomly throughout the membrane,
though its rate of movement may be
limited.
Some proteins are immobilized as a
result of its interaction with the
underlying membrane skeleton.
Some proteins move in a particular
direction as a result of its interaction
with motor proteins at the cytoplasmic
surface of the membrane.
Some proteins are restricted by other
integral proteins of the membrane while some are restricted by fences formed by proteins of the
membrane skeleton.
Some proteins are also restrained by extracellular materials.
Erythrocyte Membrane Skeleton
The peripheral proteins of the erythrocyte plasma
membrane are located on its internal surface and
constitute a fibrillar membrane skeleton that play
a major role in determining the biconcave shape
of the erythrocyte.
The major component of the skeleton is an
elongated fibrous protein, called Spectrin. It is
a heterodimer approximately 100 nm long,
consisting of & subunit.
Spectrin, a peripheral membrane protein is
attached to the internal surface of the membrane by means of non-covalent bonds to another
peripheral protein, Ankyrin.
Ankyrin is linked non-covalently to the cytoplasmic domain of a Band 3 Molecule, an integral
membrane protein.
