Protein A and Protein B work together to import iron into a living cell. Proteins A and B are both integral membrane proteins that are capable of binding one another and together they reduce Fe (III) to Fe (II) and then import Fe(II) from outside to inside the cell. It has been found that mutations in the gene encoding spectrin can reduce the amount of iron that is imported into the cell. Create a hypothesis to explain this observation
