Fig 6. Schematic model showing suggested consequences of disruption of the spectrin ankyrin-band 3 bridge on spectrin self-association.

Fig 6

The spectrin α-chains are shown in light green, the β-chains in dark green. Inset: The interactions between ankyrin and β–spectrin are highlighted. Zu5, a subdomain of ankyrin, binds to β–spectrin through the terminal part of R14 and most of the R15, and has been identified as the minimal binding domain for β–spectrin (27, 39).
