In this study we investigated the chaperone function of a-crys-tallin in a more physiological system in which a-crystallin was incorporated into red cell ghosts . Its ability to protect the intrinsic membrane protein Na K-ATPase from external stresses was studied. Red cell ghosts were created by lysing the red cells and removing cytoplasmic contents by sizeexclusion chromatography. The resulting ghost cells retain Na K-ATPase activity. a-Crystallin was incorporated in the cells on resealing and the activity of Na K-ATPase assessed by ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake. Incubation with fructose hydrogen peroxide and methylglyoxal compounds that have been implicated in diabetes and cataract formation were used to test inactivation of the Na Kpump. Intracellular a-crystallin protected against the decrease in ouabain sensitive 86Rb uptake and therefore against inactivation induced by all external modifiers in a dose-dependent manner. Keywords a-crystallin ghost cells glycation Na K-ATPase oxidation. Na K-ATPase is a highly conserved ubiquitous membrane protein. The enzyme is composed of three subunits the alpha subunit w 113 kDa binds ATP and sodium and potassium ions and contains the phosphorylation site. The smaller beta subunit w 35 kDa glycoprotein is necessary for activity of the complex and the gamma subunit w 10 kDa is involved with modulation of Na K-ATPase. Several isoforms of both alpha and beta subunits
