Abstract
The major palmitoylated human erythrocyte membrane protein has an Mr of 55000. It is distinct from the glucose transporter and is not derived from band 3 or ankyrin. It resists salt extraction suggesting a high affinity for the membrane. Pulse chase experiments demonstrate that palmitoylation is a dynamic process, and it may therefore have regulatory significance in membrane protein-protein or protein-lipid interaction. Slower dynamics of palmitoylation in erythrocytes from patients suffering from chronic myelogenous leukemia, which are less stable than normal erythrocytes, strenghten this view.
