After treatment of intact human erythrocytes with SH-oxidizing agents (e.g., tetrathionate and diamide), phospholipase A2 cleaves approximately 30% of the phosphatidylserine and 50% of the phosphatidylethanolamine without causing hemolysis. These phospholipids are scarcely hydrolyzed in fresh erythrocytes and are assumed to be located in the inner lipid layer of the membrane. The enhancement of the phospholipid cleavage was accompanied by a 50% decrease of the membrane SH-groups and a cross-linking of spectrin, located at the inner surface of the membrane, to oligomers of < 106 dalton. Blocking approximately 10% of the membrane SH groups with N-ethylmaleimide suppressed the polymerization of spectrin and the enhancement of the phospholipid cleavage. N-Ethylmaleimide, under these conditions, reacted with 3 SH groups per molecule of spectrin, 0.7 SH groups per major intrinsic 100,00 dalton protein (band 3) and 1.1 SH groups per molecule of an extrinsic protein of 72,000 daltons (band 4.2). Blocking studies with iodoacetamide demonstrate that the SH groups of the 100,000-dalton protein are not involved in the effects of the SH-oxidizing agents. It is suggested that a release of constraints imposed by spectrin enables phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine to move from the inner to the outer lipid layer of the erythrocyte membrane and that spectrin, in the native erythrocyte, stabilizes the orientation of these phospholipids to the inner surface of the membrane.
