## Abstract Spectrin reversibly selfβassociates to high molecular weight oligomers through a concentrationβdriven process characterized by association constants of about 10^5^ mol^β1^. This association is prominent under physiological conditions of pH, ionic strength, and temperature. It is disrupt
Plasmodium berghei derived phosphoproteins are associated with the host erythrocyte membrane. Effectors of the phosphorylation reaction regulate the phosphorylation of the P. berghei derived proteins and spectrin in a similar manner. The spectrin kinase also phosphorylates the P. berghei phosphoprot
## Abstract Interactions between spectrin and the inner surface of the human erythrocyte membrane have been implicated in the control of lateral mobility of the integral membrane proteins. We report here that incubation of βleakyβ erythrocytes with a waterβsoluble proteolytic fragment containing th
## Abstract Using a rapid method of preparation, spectrin has been isolated from human erythrocytes and its ATPase activity investigated. The ATPase activity with calcium has two distinct components, βone with optimal activity when calcium and ATP are of equal concentration (lowβCaβATPase) and anot
