title: Erythrocyte (Ca+2 + Mg+2)-ATPase activity: increased sensitivity to oxidative stress in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
abstract: The effect of the thiol-oxidizing agent diamide on erythrocyte (Ca+2 + Mg+2)-ATPase activity was measured in normal and glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase-deficient (G6PD-) cells. Although the enzyme activity before the oxidative stress was similar in both groups, diamide induced a markedly greater inhibition in the enzyme activity in the G6PD- cells than in the normal controls. These data indicate dependence of erythrocyte (Ca+2 + Mg+2)-ATPase, in part, on the redox status of the cell. The increased vulnerability of (Ca+2 + Mg+2)-ATPase to oxidative stress in G6PD- may be of pathophysiological relevance to their premature destruction in oxidant-induced hemolysis.
