Abstract

The anion-exchange band 3 protein is the main erythrocyte protein that is phosphorylated by protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). We have previously identified a band 3-associated phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP) that is normally highly active and prevents the accumulation of band 3 phosphotyrosine. Band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation can be induced by inhibition of PTP (vanadate, thiol oxidation), activation of PTK (hypertonic NaCl) or intracellular increased Ca(2+) (mechanism unknown). We now show that there is inhibition of dephosphorylation of band 3 in Ca(2+)/ionophore-treated erythrocytes and in membranes isolated from the treated cells. These membranes exhibit phosphatase activity upon the addition of exogenous substrate. Dephosphorylation of the endogenous substrate (band 3) can be activated in these membranes by the addition of Mg(2+). Thus the inability of PTP to dephosphorylate the band 3 phosphotyrosine is not due to inhibition of the enzyme itself. Ca(2+) rise in the erythrocyte causes dissociation of PTP from band 3, thus leaving the kinase unopposed. This is shown by a significant diminution in band 3/PTP co-precipitation. Addition of Mg(2+) to these membranes leads to reassociation of band 3 with PTP. The Ca(2+)-induced inhibition of band 3 dephosphorylation may be due to Ca(2+)-dependent alterations in membrane components and structure, affecting the interaction of band 3 with PTP. The Ca(2+)-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, involving an apparent PTP inhibition via dissociation from the substrate, may play a role in signal transduction pathways and in certain pathological disorders associated with increased cell Ca(2+).
