In many different cells, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored
molecules are clustered in membrane microdomains that resist extraction
by detergents at 4°C. In this report, we identified the presence of
such domains in human erythrocytes and examined the ability of
exogenously-added GPI-anchored molecules to colocalize with the
endogenous GPI-anchored proteins in these detergent-insoluble complexes. We found that the addition to human erythrocytes of three
purified GPI-anchored proteins having different GPI lipid moieties
resulted in their efficient and correct incorporation into the
membrane. The extent of membrane insertion was dependent on the
intactness of the GPI lipid moiety. However, unlike the endogenous
GPI-anchored proteins, the in vitro incorporated GPI molecules were not
resistant to membrane extraction by Triton X-100 at 4°C.
In addition, in contrast to the endogenous GPI-anchored proteins, they
were not preferentially released from erythrocytes during vesiculation
induced by calcium loading of the cells. These results suggest that in
vitro incorporated GPI-linked molecules are excluded from pre-existing
GPI-enriched membrane areas in human erythrocytes and that these
microdomains may represent the sites of membrane vesicle formation.
