Abstract：
:Three membrane thermotropic transitions at 8, 20, and 40 degrees C have been detected in human red blood cells (RBC) by using spin-labeled stearic acids. Red blood cells infected in vitro by Plasmodium falciparum showed the disappearance of the 8 degrees C transition and a lowering of the 40 degrees C transition to 32 degrees C. The disappearance of the 8 degrees C transition was observed in synchronized cultures of P. falciparum trophozoites as well as in mouse RBC infected in vivo by an asynchronous population of P. berghei. Furthermore, erythrocytes infected by P. falciparum showed an increase in the phosphorylation of protein 4.1. This protein was shown previously to be involved in the 8 degrees C transition, (T. Forte, T. L. Leto, M. Minetti, and V. T. Marchesi, Biochemistry 24, 7876-7880 (1985). Our results suggest that the malaria parasite invasion produces a disorganization of the protein 4.1-membrane interaction.
