Abstract:
:The triplet lifetime and absorption anisotropy decay of eosin-labeled band 3 was measured in resealed erythrocyte ghosts. Membrane potentials were generated by the addition of valinomycin in the presence of a K+ gradient. Neither negative nor positive membrane potentials had any detectable effect on the rotational diffusion of band 3 nor on the eosin triplet lifetime. The membrane potential did, however, affect quenching of the eosin triplet state by I- and TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl). Quenching was enhanced by a negative membrane potential (negative inside) and reduced by a positive membrane potential. In addition, it was found that a negative membrane potential enhanced the efficiency of eosin labeling of band 3 in intact erythrocytes. A positive membrane potential had the opposite effect. These results indicate that the eosin binding site on band 3 becomes more accessible to the extracellular aqueous phase in the presence of a negative membrane potential and less accessible in the presence of a positive membrane potential. Quenching by I- and TEMPO of the triplet state of eosin-labeled band 3 was further investigated as a function of pH. Quenching by TEMPO and its dependence on membrane potential were relatively insensitive to pH. In contrast, the rate of quenching by I- showed a marked decrease over the range pH 5.5-9.5. Moreover, the effect of a negative membrane potential on I- quenching also varied with pH. These results are discussed on the supposition that the eosin probe is located in the anion access channel of band 3.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
