The pattern of membrane abnormalities in sickle red blood cells suggests that sickle hemoglobin damages membrane proteins. We have previously shown a functional defect in sickle ankyrin, poor spectrin- binding ability. Here we examine the other major binding interactions of sickle membrane proteins including spectrin self-association, binding of ankyrin and protein 4.1 to protein 3, and the formation of the spectrin-actin-protein 4.1 complex. We found that sickle spectrin was normal in self-association and ability to participate in the spectrin-actin-protein 4.1 complex. Sickle protein 4.1 bound normally to protein 3 and formed normal complexes with actin and spectrin, even when sickle spectrin was used. The only major abnormality we found was a reduced ability of sickle protein 3 to bind ankyrin. This functional defect could not be explained experimentally on the basis of cysteine modification or enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation. We conclude that damage of sickle membrane proteins is not a diffuse scattershot process, but is largely confined to regions near membrane-associated hemoglobin, the spectrin-binding domain of ankyrin and the ankyrin- binding domain of protein 3. The mechanism and consequences of this damage continues to be investigated.
