Chromatographic separation of the non-heme proteins from the erythrocytes of the subterranean mole rat belonging to the superspecies Spalax ehrenbergi from Israel revealed two major peaks. On sequence analyses, the larger peak corresponded to a 56 kDa selenium-binding protein (SeBP) previously characterized from mouse and human liver, and the second peak to the low-activity carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozyme, CA I. There was no evidence of the high-activity CA II isozyme normally found in the red cells of all amniotes tested to date. Thus, the mole rat appears to be the first mammalian species to express both a SeBP and the low-activity CA I isozyme, as the major non-heme proteins in its red blood cells. It is possible that the absence of the high-activity CA II isozyme may be advantageous to the mole rat in adapting to the low O2and high CO2environment of its underground burrows. It is also likely that the 56 kDa SeBP may play an important adaptive role in the physiology of the red cell.
