A common type of the spectrin alpha I 46-50a-kD peptide abnormality in hereditary elliptocytosis and pyropoikilocytosis is associated with a mutation distant from the proteolytic cleavage site. Evidence for the functional importance of the triple helical model of spectrin.

We studied nine individuals from five unrelated families with alpha I/46-50a hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) or hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP), including one of the original HHP probands first reported by Zarkowsky and colleagues (1975. Br. J. Haematol. 29:537-543). Biochemical analysis of erythrocyte membrane proteins from these patients revealed, as a common abnormality, the presence of the alpha I/46-50a peptide after limited tryptic digestion of spectrin. The polymerase chain reaction was utilized to study the structure of the DNA encoding the alpha I domain of spectrin in the affected individuals. The DNA sequence of the alpha-spectrin gene encoding the region of the alpha-spectrin chain surrounding the abnormal proteolytic cleavage site was normal. We identified a point mutation causing the replacement of a highly conserved leucine residue by proline at position 207 in the alpha-spectrin chain, a site 51 residues to the amino-terminal side of the abnormal proteolytic cleavage site. Analysis of the proposed triple helical model of spectrin repeats reveals that the mutation occurs in helix 2 at a position directly opposite the abnormal proteolytic cleavage site in helix 3, making this the first report of a mutation occurring in helix 2 of a repeat in the alpha I domain of spectrin. These results add to the molecular heterogeneity of mutations associated with HE/HPP and provide further support for the proposed triple helical model of spectrin. Disruption of this proposed alpha-helical structure by helix-breaking proline substitutions may result in a functionally defective spectrin chain.

Spectrin Rouen (beta 220-218), a novel shortened beta-chain variant in a kindred with hereditary elliptocytosis. Characterization of the molecular defect as exon skipping due to a splice site mutation.

The molecular defect responsible for the shortened beta-spectrin chain variant, spectrin Rouen, was identified by analysis of cDNA and genomic DNA of affected individuals after amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. Peripheral blood reticulocyte RNA was transcribed into cDNA and amplified using primers corresponding to the 3' end of beta-spectrin cDNA. Agarose gel electrophoresis of cDNA amplification products from affected individuals revealed the expected band of 391 bp as well as a shortened band of 341 bp. Nucleotide sequencing of the shortened cDNA amplification product revealed that the sequences corresponding to the penultimate exon of the beta-spectrin gene (exon Y) were absent. This result was confirmed by hybridization of a Southern blot of amplification products with a labeled probe specific for exon Y. Nucleotide sequencing of the proband's amplified genomic DNA corresponding to this region of the beta-spectrin gene revealed a mutation in the 5' donor consensus splice site of the intron downstream of the Y exon, TGG/GTGAGT to TGG/GTTAGT, in one allele. We postulate that this mutation leads to the splicing out or skipping of exon Y, thus producing a shortened beta-spectrin chain. To our knowledge, this is the first documented example of exon skipping as the cause of a shortened beta-spectrin chain in a case of hereditary elliptocytosis. The exon skip results in the loss of the 17 amino acids of exon Y and creates a frameshift with the synthesis of 33 novel amino acids prior to premature chain termination 14 residues upstream of the normal carboxy terminus of the beta-spectrin chain, giving a mutant beta-spectrin chain that is 31 amino acids shorter than the normal chain.

Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis and elliptocytosis in a white French family with the spectrin alpha I/74 variant related to a CGT to CAT codon change (Arg to His) at position 22 of the spectrin alpha I domain.

We describe a white French family in which 12 subjects presented with hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) or hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP). Eight of these subjects were shown to be heterozygous for a spectrin (Sp) alpha I/74 variant, as demonstrated by analysis of partial tryptic digestion fragments of spectrin. This abnormal peptide pattern was associated with a decreased ability of Sp dimers to self-associate. In this kindred, in which four generations were available for study, the clinical expression varied from mild HE to HPP with an intermediate status of hemolytic HE. The severity of the disease appeared to be correlated both with the estimated amount of variant Sp (42% to 65%) and the excess of Sp dimers found in the membrane (30% to 51%, with a normal value of 3.7% +/- 1.6%). Reassociation studies using isolated Sp alpha and beta chains from an affected patient and an unaffected control subject showed that the Sp alpha I/74 Kd abnormal tryptic peptide resulted from a defect in the Sp alpha chain. Partial amino acid sequencing showed that the Sp alpha I/74 Kd peptide resulted from cleavage at lysine residue 42 of the Sp alpha I/80 Kd domain. Knowledge of the exon/intron organization of the human alpha Sp gene allowed us to amplify by the polymerase chain reaction the second exon of the alpha Sp gene in total cellular DNA of the HPP proposita. The amplified fragment was subcloned and sequenced. We found a G to A base substitution in the 22nd codon (CAT for CGT), which changes the normal arginine to a histidine. Hybridization of amplified DNAs with allele-specific oligonucleotides corresponding to the normal and mutant sequences confirmed the presence of the mutation in six other HE and HPP members of the family. The identification of this mutation at the DNA level confirmed the transmission of the same molecular defect in Sp through four generations but with different patterns of clinical expression.

Severe recessive poikilocytic anaemia with a new spectrin alpha chain variant.

A severe neonatal haemolytic anaemia was observed in a propositus from the West Indies. Frequent blood transfusions were required until complete splenectomy was carried out. Blood smears showed predominant poikilocytosis with spherocytes and microcytes as observed in hereditary pyropoikilocytosis. Erythrocytes were completely fragmented after incubation at 45 degrees C. The two asymptomatic parents had normal haematological profiles. The erythrocyte membrane electrophoretic patterns of the splenectomized propositus and her parents were normal. The propositus had a moderate defect in the spectrin (Sp) dimer self-association. Limited tryptic digestion of the propositus' Sp under standard conditions (0 degrees C, 20 h, enzyme-substrate ratio of 1/100) revealed an increased sensitivity to tryptic digestion. The major features detected by one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis gels of Sp tryptic digests were the absence of high molecular weight peptides from the Sp alpha II (48 kDa and 35 kDa peptides) and Sp alpha III (52 kDa peptide) domains with increased amounts of the lower molecular weight peptides from the Sp alpha II and Sp alpha III (29 kDa peptide and 47 kDa peptide) domains respectively. Kinetic studies of Sp tryptic digestion (10 min to 36 h) confirmed the increased tryptic susceptibility of Sp. Immunodetection with specific anti-alpha-chain domain antibodies showed that the highest molecular weight peptides from the alpha II and alpha III domains are released early in digestion, but disappear quickly, with an increase in their corresponding smaller peptides. The molecular weights of the peptides corresponding to the 48 kDa and 35 kDa peptides from the alpha II domain are slightly modified. Peptides from the alpha I and alpha IV domains showed no significant abnormalities. The Sps of both parents were normal. These results indicate that the patient has a novel Sp alpha chain defect, which is probably located in the region of the alpha II domain which adjoins the alpha III domain.

Abnormal tryptic peptide from the spectrin alpha-chain resulting from alpha- or beta-chain mutations: two genetically distinct forms of the Sp alpha I/74 variant.

Limited tryptic digestion of native spectrin (Sp) has revealed several variants in hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) and in a subset of patients with hereditary elliptocytosis (HE). In most cases, tryptic peptide corresponding to the alpha I (N-terminal) 80 kD domain is wholly or partially replaced by smaller fragments. These variants are provisionally designated according to the molecular weight of the most prominent new peptide. Partial amino acid sequences of the abnormal peptides and DNA analysis of the alpha-spectrin gene have shown that most variants result from substitution or insertion of an amino acid in the alpha I-domain. However, similar investigations did not detect any such abnormality in the spectrin alpha I-domain of an HE black kindred with one of the spectrin variants called Sp alpha I/74. In this kindred, restriction fragment length polymorphism studies and transmission of the genetic polymorphism relative to the alpha II-domain excluded the involvement of the alpha-chain in the pathological process. To ascertain whether the abnormal alpha I 74 kD peptide might be caused by a beta-chain mutation, we reconstituted hybrid dimers combining normal and HE Sp-chains. The tryptic peptide patterns of spectrin hybrid dimers containing HE alpha-chain and control beta-chain showed a normal 80 kD tryptic product. In contrast, the hybrid dimer containing normal alpha-chain and HE beta-chain gave rise to increased 74 kD peptide at the expense of the 80 kD, demonstrating that the mutation in this family resides in the beta-chain. The same method was used to show that in two other unrelated white kindreds, the elevated 74 kD peptide arose from a Sp alpha-chain defect. Thus an alteration in tryptic susceptibility within the N-terminal domain of the spectrin alpha-chain can be directed by a mutation in the beta-chain. The hybridization technique affords a definitive means of distinguishing between alpha- and beta-chain mutants.

Point mutation in the beta-spectrin gene associated with alpha I/74 hereditary elliptocytosis. Implications for the mechanism of spectrin dimer self-association.

alpha I/74 hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) is a subgroup of HE in which patients exhibit an impaired self-association of spectrin dimers and an abnormal proteolytic cleavage of the alpha I domain of spectrin. We studied a family in which the proband presented with a severe neonatal hemolytic anemia with poikilocytosis. Biochemical analysis of erythrocytes from the proband and his family members allowed us to ascertain a diagnosis of homozygosity for alpha I/74 HE in the proband and heterozygosity in his parents and several of their offspring. Results of polymorphism linkage analysis suggested that the defect in this family was located in beta rather than alpha spectrin. We analyzed the 3' end of the beta-spectrin gene of the proband and detected a mutation that changes a codon for alanine to one for proline. Allele-specific oligomer hybridization on slot blots of DNA from other family members confirmed the presence of the mutation only in members heterozygous for the disorder. This is the first example of a point mutation in the beta-spectrin chain that is associated with defective spectrin dimer self-association and an abnormal proteolytic cleavage of the alpha chain. Based on this finding, we propose a model for the mechanism of interaction between the alpha- and beta-spectrin chains.

Sp alpha I/78: a mutation of the alpha I spectrin domain in a white kindred with HE and HPP phenotypes.

Limited tryptic digestion of spectrin (Sp) from seven related individuals manifesting hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) or hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) phenotypes revealed the presence of a novel peptide with a molecular weight of 78 Kd and a concomitant decrease in the alpha I domain (80-Kd peptide), which is the domain involved in the dimer self-association process. Sp from the normal members of this white family exhibited a normal peptide pattern, as compared with controls. The abnormal peptide pattern was associated with a decreased ability of Sp dimer to self-associate. In this kindred in which three generations were available for study, the clinical manifestations were quite variable and ranged from the asymptomatic HE carrier state to hemolytic HE or to severe anemia requiring splenectomy. The severity of the disease appeared to be correlated both with the amount of mutant spectrin (31% to 69%) and with the excess of the Sp dimer found in the membrane (26% to 60%, compared with a normal value of 5.6% +/- 2.2%). Partial amino acid sequencing showed that the alpha I/78-Kd peptide resulted from cleavage at lysine residue 10 of the alpha I/80-Kd domain. Knowledge of the exon/intron structure of cloned genomic DNA encoding the alpha I domain allowed us to amplify in vitro a DNA fragment containing the third exon of the alpha-spectrin gene. The amplified fragment was subcloned and sequenced. A G to T transversion was found in the 39th codon (AGT for AGG), which changed the normal arginine to a serine. Hybridization of amplified DNAs with allele-specific oligonucleotides corresponding to the normal and mutant sequences confirmed the presence of the mutation in three other HE members of the family (the propositus mother, brother, and sister).

Spectrin Tunis (Sp alpha I/78), an elliptocytogenic variant, is due to the CGG----TGG codon change (Arg----Trp) at position 35 of the alpha I domain.

Spectrin Tunis (Sp alpha I/78) is an alpha l domain variant that causes asymptomatic elliptocytosis in the heterozygote state. It is manifested by a reduction of spectrin dimer self-association and by the development of a major 78-Kd fragment at the expense of the alpha l 80-Kd fragment upon spectrin-limited digestion. Amino acid sequence analysis, following peptide transfer onto Immobilon membranes, showed that the 78-Kd fragment results from a sensitized cleavage after lysyl residue 10. Using a 13.5-kb genomic alpha-spectrin probe and the Xbal, Pvull, and Mspl polymorphic sites detected with this probe, we concluded that spectrin Tunis is associated with the + - + haplotype (in the above order). Twenty mer oligonucleotides, complementary to genomic segments from introns 2 and 3, respectively, were synthesized. We then performed DNA amplification and sequencing. In the two investigated carriers of spectrin Tunis, we found the C----T base substitution of the codon corresponding to position 35 of the alpha l domain (CGG----TGG; Arg----Trp). The mutation lies in the last part of an alpha helix that extends from residues 9 to 44 of partial repeat alpha 1' and is comparable with helix 3 of full repeats 1 to 5. The modified proteolytic site, located 25 amino acid residues upstream, occurs at the beginning of the helix.

An efficient laboratory made apparatus for DNA amplification.

DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method capable of producing a selective and very high enrichment of a specific DNA sequence. Hence it seems to be useful in various fields from basic research to clinical applications. In order to automatize PCR we assembled for a very low cost a mechanical system designed to carry a test tube holder successively in three thermal baths set at the required temperatures for the reaction. Two examples of the use of this machine are given: (i) amplification of DNA of a particular subtype of acute intermittent porphyria; (ii) the detection of the chimeric c-abl/bcr message found in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells.

[Research on genetic abnormality in the hemolytic form of hereditary elliptocytosis with homozygosity for the spectrin alpha I/74 variant].

We have undertaken to identify the spectrin gene mutation in a patient with a severe hemolytic form of Hereditary Elliptocytosis with homozygosity for the spectrin alpha I/74 variant. This variant corresponds to the presence of a 74,000 peptide which is produced during mild tryptic digestion of spectrin by cleavage at the Arginine-39 of the alpha I/80,000 domain of the spectrin alpha chain (595 amino acids). We hypothesized that the alpha I/74 mutation would be closed to the cleavage site Arg-39. A genomic library built with the patient's DNA was screened with a probe corresponding to a fragment of the alpha spectrin gene. Two clones were isolated, one being of paternal, the other of maternal origin. The subclones obtained contained the alpha spectrin gene exons 2 and 3 which encode for the first 88 amino-acids of the spectrin alpha I domain. The sequences obtained did not show any abnormality. The implications of these results are discussed.

Prenatal diagnosis of hereditary elliptocytosis with molecular defect of spectrin.

Hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) is, in the heterozygous state, a common mild congenital hemolytic disease. In contrast, homozygous elliptocytosis is a severe transfusion-dependent hemolytic anemia. The major determinant of red cell membrane shape and stability is a two-dimensional proteinaceous meshwork named membrane skeleton. Spectrin, the most important protein of the membrane skeleton, is basically a heterodimer composed of alpha and beta chains. Within the membrane, spectrin dimers self-associate to form tetramers. In type I HE spectrin dimer self-association is defective and an excess of spectrin dimer is present in the patient's red cell membranes. The defective self-association is often correlated with an abnormality of the spectrin alpha chain which is depicted by limited tryptic digest of spectrin. In a family previously studied by us (Dhermy et al., 1984), the search for a spectrin defect in the red cells of the fetus of the pregnant mother was indicated for the following reasons: the diagnosis of heterozygous type I HE with the same spectrin variant had been made in the mother as well as in the father. Moreover, homozygous HE had been recognized in one of the children born two years previously with a persistent and severe transfusion dependent hemolytic anemia. Preliminary studies of normal fetal erythrocytes at twenty weeks gestation have shown that fetal and adult spectrin molecules are identical. The results obtained in the fetus at risk allowed us to diagnose type I HE (though elliptocytes were not present in the blood) for the following reasons: (i) erythrocyte deformability was decreased (ii) spectrin self-association was defective with an excess of dimer species in the membrane (iii) limited tryptic digest of spectrin showed the same abnormal pattern as seen in the heterozygous mother, with a decrease in the 80,000-dalton peptide and a concomitant increase in the 74,000-dalton peptide. The heterozygous state, strongly suspected on the tryptic digest pattern of fetal spectrin, was confirmed when the mother gave birth to a baby who did not have hemolytic anemia during the first 18 months of life.

Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis and elliptocytosis in a Caucasian family. Transmission of the same molecular defect in spectrin through three generations with different clinical expression.

Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia characterized by a material instability of the red cell membrane leading to cell fragmentation. This fragility may be correlated with functional and structural defects of spectrin. Most HPP patients have been black. We now report three HPP patients from a Caucasian family, the proposita and her two maternal uncles. The proposita's mother and daughter presented mild type I hereditary elliptocytosis (HE), while the proposita's father was clinically and hematologically normal. Our studies revealed a defective ability of spectrin to self-associate, resulting in an excess of spectrin dimer in 4 degrees C extracts in the three HPP patients and to a similar extent in HE relatives. Limited tryptic digestion of spectrin showed a molecular variant in the alpha I domain as expressed by a decreased amount of 80,000-dalton peptide with a concomitant increase in the 74,000-dalton peptide. Investigations in the proposita's father revealed no abnormalities of the erythrocyte membrane. The co-transmission of HPP and HE phenotypes in the same lineage might suggest variability in the clinical expression of the same molecular defect and lead us to discuss the hypothesis of a double heterozygosity in HPP patients.

Aberrant pattern of red cell membrane and cytosolic proteins in a case of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia.

We report an unusual case of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia (CDA). The propositus is a 25-year-old gipsy female presenting with a recessively inherited haemolytic anaemia. The diagnosis of CDA was based on erythrokinetic data and the morphological appearance of the erythroid precursors. The direct assay of HEMPAS antigen was negative. In peripheral blood there were 15% dacryocytes. The red cell membrane protein pattern was dramatically altered, with four major aberrant bands. Band a (mol wt 86,000) was at the lower edge of band 3, band b (mol wt 82,000) was below band 3, band c (68,000) and band d (67,000) were below band 4.2. In addition, there was an array of aberrant minor bands below band d. Gel densitometric determinations and immunological characterization showed that these bands did not derive from any of the major components of the membrane. In fact, membrane proteins appeared normal in many respects, although periodic acid-Schiff staining revealed an apparent decrease of sialoglycoproteins. The major aberrant bands a, b and c occur in very low amounts in controls. These bands, as well as band d, also exist in normal cytosol and were strongly increased in the propositus.

Red cell membrane alteration involving protein 4.1 and protein 3 in a case of recessively inherited haemolytic anaemia.

We present 2 siblings with a severe congenital haemolytic anaemia. Red cells displayed a variety of abnormal shapes, including leptocytes, schizocytes and elliptocytes. Repeatedly, skeletal protein 4.1 appeared reduced by 30%. The 4.1a/4.1b ratio was normal despite the haemolytic state. No change could be detected in spectrin, nor in sialoglycoproteins. Band 3 was denser, narrower and displaced downward. The parents, who are consanguineous, were devoid of any obvious biochemical abnormality; however, their red cells were not normal. These 2 cases with reduced protein 4.1 clearly depart from 4.1 (-) hereditary elliptocytosis. The possibility of an altered binding of protein 4.1 to some other membrane component is discussed.

Spectrin Nice (beta 220/216): a shortened beta-chain variant associated with an increase of the alpha I/74 fragment in a case of elliptocytosis.

We describe a new spectrin variant with a truncated beta-chain. It was discovered in a 17-year-old white boy presenting with intermittent jaundice and spleen enlargement. He also displayed numerous smooth elliptocytes. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel, the truncated beta-chain (beta'-chain) appeared as an additional band of approximately 216 kilodaltons, migrating between spectrin beta-chain and ankyrin. It represented 30% of total beta-chain. The beta'-chain reacted with an antispectrin beta-chain monoclonal antibody. It failed to become phosphorylated when ghosts were incubated in the presence of [gamma-32P] adenosine triphosphate. Whole spectrin tetramerization was defective since the amount of spectrin dimer was increased in spectrin crude extract and the association constant of the spectrin dimer self-association was decreased. Spectrin whole tetramer isolated from spectrin crude extracts contained small quantities of beta'-chain. Spectrin tryptic peptides showed an increase of the 74,000-dalton fragment at the expense of the 80,000-dalton fragment. So far, the latter abnormality has been used to characterize a number of cases of hereditary elliptocytosis or pyropoikilocytosis with no other apparent change. In the present case, we consider that the abnormality is a consequence of the beta-chain alteration. The parents seemed asymptomatic. As a result, we regard this new spectrin variant as deriving from a de novo mutation.

Abnormal electrophoretic mobility of spectrin tetramers in hereditary elliptocytosis.

Hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) is a genetically determined disorder of the red cell membrane. The main protein which composes the proteinaceous skeleton of the membrane is an elongated molecule named spectrin which is a heterodimer composed of two chains, alpha and beta. In the membrane spectrin dimers are associated head-to-head to form tetrameric structures. We and other authors have reported that spectrin studied from many HE patients exhibited a dimer self-association defect (type I HE). A mutation in the head of the spectrin alpha chain was mostly found in type I HE. We have previously described one of the three known spectrin pathological variants shown on mild tryptic digest pattern. This variant was characterized by the appearance of an abnormal 65,000-dalton peptide (Sp alpha I/65). Using nondenaturating gel electrophoresis, we describe in this paper a triplicated pattern of the spectrin tetramer bands which is found in heterozygous HE cases displaying the 65,000-dalton variant. Study of a homozygous case allowed us to characterize the electrophoretic mobility of the abnormal symmetrical spectrin tetramer (alpha 2I/65-beta 2) and to study the correlation between the fraction of this abnormal symmetrical tetramer found in heterozygous patients and the amount of the 65,000-dalton peptide observed in spectrin tryptic digests.

Double inheritance of an alpha I/65 spectrin variant in a child with homozygous elliptocytosis.

Hemolytic anemia with red cell fragmentation, poikilocytosis, and elliptocytosis was discovered in a 6-week-old black infant. Both parents and a brother of the propositus had compensated mild Hereditary Elliptocytosis (HE). Elliptocytosis was prominent in the proband's father with the presence of numerous rod-shaped cells whereas, in the proband's mother, elliptocytosis was less marked and cells were less elongated than in the father. The proband's red cells fragmented at 45 degrees C instead of 49 degrees C for control cells. Both the parents' and brother's red cells fragmented at 47 degrees C. The deformability of the proband's red cells was markedly reduced when measured with the ektacytometer; the red cells of both the proband's parent and brother exhibited an intermediate decrease in red cell deformability. Spectrin self-association was defective in the propositus as well as in his parents and brother. Limited tryptic digestion of the proband's spectrin, followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), revealed a complete absence of the normal 80,000 dalton alpha I domain and the presence of an abnormal 65,000 dalton peptide. Two-dimensional isoelectric focusing/SDS-PAGE of limited tryptic digests of spectrin from both the proband's parents and brother revealed a decrease in the normal 80,000 alpha I domain and the presence of the 65,000 peptide variant. On the basis of biochemic studies performed on the patients' spectrin, we concluded that the proband had homozygous HE, having inherited the structural defect of spectrin present in a heterozygous state in each of his parents. On a clinical and morphologic level, homozygous HE imitates two other forms of congenital hemolytic anemia associated with a spectrin self-association defect: HE with pycnocytosis in infancy and Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis. This report emphasizes the importance of confronting clinical and rheological as well as biochemical investigations in studying and discussing different entities.
