Binding of lithium diiodosalicylate to glycophorin.
Glycophorin was purified from human erythrocyte ghosts by the lithium diiodosalicylate -phenol procedure utilizing 125I-labeled lithium diiodosalicylate. The glycophorin preparation was found to contain 8.9 +/- 2.1 mol lithium diiodosalicylate per mol glycophorin. This bound lithium diiodosalicylate cannot be removed by extensive washings with a variety of polar organic solvents nor by treatment with the detergent, sodium deoxycholate. Further, the hydrophobic peptide produced from glycophorin by trypsin digestion contained 3.4 mol lithium diiodosalicylate per mol peptide.
