We determined whether the membrane defect in hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is associated with thermally induced changes in the lipid bilayer, the stability of which was probed by the rate of translocation of phosphatidylcholine (PC) over the two leaflets. [14C]PC was incorporated into the outer leaflet of the lipid bilayer of the intact erythrocytes using a PC-specific phospholipid exchange protein. The transbilayer equilibration of this PC was determined by measuring the time-dependent changes in its accessibility to exogenous phospholipase A2. The rate of transbilayer equilibration of PC was increased in HPP cells at 37°C when compared to normal erythrocytes (rate constants, 0.07 ± 0.02 and 0.03 ± 0.01 h−1, respectively). A further dramatic increase in PC transbilayer equilibration was noted in HPP cells incubated at 44°C (rate constant, 0.15 ± 0.02 h−1). A similar marked acceleration in transbilayer movement of PC was also seen in normal erythrocytes when incubated at 46°C (rate constant, 0.13 ± 0.03 h−1). Despite the enhanced transbilayer mobility of PC in HPP cells when compared to normal erythrocytes, no major alteration in the asymmetric distribution could be observed when probed with phospholipase A2. Since changes in transbilayer mobility of PC and cell morphology occur in HPP cells at lower temperature than in normal red cells, it may be concluded that the enhanced themal sensitivity of spectrin is the major factor responsible for these changes. Our results therefore support the view that the structural integrity of the skeletal network is essential for stabilization of the lipid bilayer of the red cell membrane.
