Turnover of band 3 in the microsomal and plasma membrane fractions of early and late erythroblasts. (A) Microsomes and plasma membranes were isolated from erythroblasts labeled with [35S]methionine for 30 minutes and chased for different time periods (0 to 120 minutes). Band 3 was immunoprecipitated using anti–band 3 antibodies. The immunoprecipitates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and the gels were processed for fluorography. B3: Band 3. (B) The autoradiograms shown in (A) were scanned and the area under each peak integrated.
