αI-spectrin represents evolutionary optimization of spectrin for red blood cell deformability

Spectrin tetramers of the membranes of enucleated mammalian erythrocytes play a critical role in red blood cell survival in circulation. One of the spectrins, αI, emerged in mammals with enucleated red cells after duplication of the ancestral α-spectrin gene common to all animals. The neofunctionali...
