Cloning and characterization of band 3, the human erythrocyte anion-exchange protein (AE1).
The human erythrocyte anion-exchange protein (band 3 or AE1) was cloned from a fetal liver cDNA library. Three overlapping clones, encompassing 3637 nucleotides, were analyzed in detail. These encode a 911-amino acid protein (Mr 101,791) and detect a single 4.7-kilobase species in human reticulocyte RNA. The corresponding gene is located on chromosome 17. The protein is similar in structure to ...
متن کاملThe substrate anion selectivity filter in the human erythrocyte Cl-/HCO3- exchange protein, AE1.
AE1 facilitates Cl-/HCO3- exchange across the erythrocyte membrane. To identify residues involved in substrate selection and translocation, we prepared an array of single cysteine mutants in an otherwise cysteineless background. These mutants spanning the C-terminal portion of the AE1 membrane domain from Phe806-Cys885 were characterized for functional activity when expressed in human embryonic...
متن کاملCysteine-directed cross-linking localizes regions of the human erythrocyte anion-exchange protein (AE1) relative to the dimeric interface.
The human erythrocyte anion-exchanger isoform 1 (AE1) is a dimeric membrane protein that exchanges chloride for bicarbonate across the erythrocyte plasma membrane. Crystallographic studies suggest that the transmembrane anion channel lies at the interface between the two monomers, whereas kinetic analysis provides evidence that each monomer contains an anion channel. We have studied the structu...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional structure of the membrane domain of human band 3, the anion transport protein of the erythrocyte membrane.
The membrane domain of human erythrocyte Band 3 protein (M(r) 52,000) was reconstituted with lipids into two-dimensional crystals in the form of sheets or tubes. Crystalline sheets were monolayers with six-fold symmetry (layer group p6, a = b = 170 A, gamma = 60 degrees), whereas the symmetry of the tubular crystals was p2 (a = 104 A, b = 63 A, gamma = 104 degrees). Electron image analysis of n...
متن کاملRelationship of net chloride flow across the human erythrocyte membrane to the anion exchange mechanism
The parallel effects of the anion transport inhibitor DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate) on net chloride flow and on chloride exchange suggest that a major portion of net chloride flow takes place through the anion exchange system. The "slippage" model postulates that the rate of net anion flow is determined by the movement of the unloaded anion transport site across the membra...
