Numerous enzyme defects-deficiency of pyruvate kinase, phosphofructo-kinase, glocosephosphate isomerase, adenylate kinase, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase and glutathione reductase--in red blood cells have been described to be connected with dyserythropoietic or refractory anemias and panmyelopathies of different origin. These enzyme deficiencies also have been demonstrated in red cells of patients with acute leukemia. Most likely the enzyme deficiencies are acquired and are not important for the origin of anemia or bone marrow insufficiency. Partial derepression of fetal genes, qualitative and quantitative perturbations of genetic expression, and posttranslational variations of the enzyme protein by low molecular factors from plasma, erythrocytes or leukemic cells have been discussed as a reason of enzyme deficiency. The decrease of glutathione reductase deficiency is dependent of FAD deficiency.

Electron-transferring flavoproteins from pig kidney and from the methylotrophic bacterium W3A1 have been found to contain one molecule of AMP in addition to the single FAD molecule bound to these heterodimers. The nucleotide was identified by spectral and chromatographic methods and via its behavior toward adenylate kinase and alkaline phosphatase. The role of this additional non-redox active prosthetic group in electron transferring-flavoprotein is at present unclear.
