Popis: The amino acid composition, lipid-binding ability, the values of pK and binding capacity of negatively charged sites of the integral protein-3 from erythrocyte membranes are determined for rats in norm and under conditions of D-hypovitaminosis. Protein-3 binding of phosphatidyl choline and sphingomyelin considerably decreases, while that of cholesterol and lanosterol increases with the unchanged amino acid composition under conditions of D-hypovitaminosis. This leads to the enhancement of the protein electro-negativity as its carboxylic groups and histidine imidazole become more accessible for titration. An increase of the negative charge of protein-3 with D-hypovitaminosis is supposed to be responsible for inhibition of the anionic transport realized by it through the forces of electrostatic repulsion.
