## Abstract The effects of phosphorylation of spectrin on the properties of the cytoskeletal network of the human erythrocyte have been studied. A suspension of the cytoskeletal residues obtained after extraction of the ghosts with the nonionic detergent Triton Xโ100 forms a gel on addition of memb

## Abstract The newer member of the tubulin superfamily, ฮณโtubulin, is known to mediate microtubule nucleation from the centrosome of eukaryotic cells with the aid of some other proteins. The major amount of ฮณโtubulin is believed to be located in the centrosome before the onset of mitotic division.
Membrane-associated mouse brain spectrin is a 972,000 M,, 10.5S, (a& tetramer containing two -240,000 M, subunits and two -235,000 M, subunits. Twodimensional [ 1251]trypti~ peptide mapping indicates that these subunits share only limited and equivalent overlap with the a-and 0-subunits of red blood
## Abstract The spectrinโ4.1โactin complex isolated from the cytoskeleton of human erythrocyte [3] was found to be similar to muscle Fโactin in several aspects: Both the complex and Fโactin nucleate cytochalasinโsensitive actin polymerization; both bind dihydrocytochalasin B with similar binding co
