Abstract
The major transmembrane protein of the red blood cell, known as band 3, AE1, and SLC4A1, has two main functions: 1) catalysis of Cl-/HCO3- exchange, one of the steps in CO2 excretion; 2) anchoring the membrane skeleton. This review summarizes the 150 year history of research on red cell anion transport and band 3 as an experimental system for studying membrane protein structure and ion transport mechanisms. Important early findings were that red cell Cl- transport is a tightly coupled 1:1 exchange and band 3 is labeled by stilbenesulfonate derivatives that inhibit anion transport. Biochemical studies showed that the protein is dimeric or tetrameric (paired dimers) and that there is one stilbenedisulfonate binding site per subunit of the dimer. Transport kinetics and inhibitor characteristics supported the idea that the transporter acts by an alternating access mechanism with intrinsic asymmetry. The sequence of band 3 cDNA provided a framework for detailed study of protein topology and amino acid residues important for transport. The identification of genetic variants produced insights into the roles of band 3 in red cell abnormalities and distal renal tubular acidosis. The publication of the membrane domain crystal structure made it possible to propose concrete molecular models of transport. Future research directions include improving our understanding of the transport mechanism at the molecular level and of the integrative relationships among band 3, hemoglobin, carbonic anhydrase, and gradients (both transmembrane and subcellular) of HCO3-, Cl-, O2, CO2, pH, and NO metabolites during pulmonary and systemic capillary gas exchange.

Abstract
Mutations in the human SLC26A4/Pendrin polypeptide (hPDS) cause Pendred Syndrome /DFNB4, syndromic deafness with enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct and low-penetrance goiter. Here we present data on cloning, protein overexpression and purification, refolding, and biophysical characterization of the recombinant hPDS STAS domain lacking its intrinsic variable sequence (STAS-ΔIVS). We report a reproducible protein refolding protocol enabling milligram scale expression and purification of uniformly 15N- and 13C/15N-enriched hPDS STAS-ΔIVS domain suitable for structural characterization by solution NMR. Circular dichroism, one-dimensional 1H, two-dimensional 1H–15N HSQC, and 1H–13C HSQC NMR spectra confirmed the well-folded state of purified hPDS STAS-ΔIVS in solution. Heteronuclear NMR chemical shift perturbation of select STAS-ΔIVS residues by GDP was observed at fast-to-intermediate NMR time scales. Intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence quench experiments demonstrated GDP binding to hPDS STAS-ΔIVS with Kd of 178 μM. These results are useful for structure/function characterization of hPDS STAS, the cytoplasmic subdomain of the congenital deafness protein, pendrin, as well as for studies of other mammalian STAS domains. Reproducible protein refolding protocol for human pendrin STAS domain. Milligram scale purification of uniformly 15N- and 13C/15N-enriched protein. Protein adopts folded conformation in solution. Heteronuclear NMR and fluorescence demonstrate protein binding to GDP.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the dimeric membrane domain of human Band 3(1), the red cell chloride/bicarbonate anion exchanger 1 (AE1, SLC4A1), provides a structural context for over four decades of studies into this historic and important membrane glycoprotein. In this review, we highlight the key structural features responsible for anion binding and translocation and have integrated the following topological markers within the Band 3 structure: blood group antigens, N-glycosylation site, protease cleavage sites, inhibitor and chemical labeling sites, and the results of scanning cysteine and N-glycosylation mutagenesis. Locations of mutations linked to human disease, including those responsible for Southeast Asian ovalocytosis, hereditary stomatocytosis, hereditary spherocytosis, and distal renal tubular acidosis, provide molecular insights into their effect on Band 3 folding. Finally, molecular dynamics simulations of phosphatidylcholine self-assembled around Band 3 provide a view of this membrane protein within a lipid bilayer.

Abstract
Anion exchanger 1 (AE1) is a 95 kDa glycoprotein that facilitates Cl(-)=HCO(-)(3) exchange across the erythrocyte plasma membrane. This transport activity resides in the 52 kDa C-terminal membrane domain (Gly(361)-Val(911)) predicted to span the membrane 14 times. To explore the role of tryptophan (Trp) residues in AE1 function, the seven endogenous Trp residues in the membrane domain were mutated individually to alanine (Ala) and phenylalanine (Phe). Expression levels, cell surface abundance, inhibitor binding and transport activities of the mutants were measured upon expression in HEK-293 cells. The seven Trp residues divided into three classes according the impact of mutations on the functional expression of AE1: Class 1, dramatically decreased expression (Trp(492) and Trp(496)); Class 2, decreased expression by Ala substitution but not Phe (Trp(648), Trp(662) and Trp(723)); and Class 3, normal expression (Trp(831) and Trp(848)). The results indicate that Trp residues play differential roles in AE1 expression and function depending on their location in the protein and that Trp mutants with low expression are misfolded and retained in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
The structure and intrinsic activities of conserved STAS domains of the ubiquitous SulP/SLC26 anion transporter superfamily have until recently remained unknown. Here we report the heteronuclear, multidimensional NMR spectroscopy solution structure of the STAS domain from the SulP/SLC26 putative anion transporter Rv1739c of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The 0.87-Å root mean square deviation structure revealed a four-stranded β-sheet with five interspersed α-helices, resembling the anti-σ factor antagonist fold. Rv1739c STAS was shown to be a guanine nucleotide-binding protein, as revealed by nucleotide-dependent quench of intrinsic STAS fluorescence and photoaffinity labeling. NMR chemical shift perturbation analysis partnered with in silico docking calculations identified solvent-exposed STAS residues involved in nucleotide binding. Rv1739c STAS was not an in vitro substrate of mycobacterial kinases or anti-σ factors. These results demonstrate that Rv1739c STAS binds guanine nucleotides at physiological concentrations and undergoes a ligand-induced conformational change but, unlike anti-σ factor antagonists, may not mediate signals via phosphorylation.

Blood Cells Mol Dis 2006; 37:137-48. [PMID: 17000124 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcmd.2006.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2006] [Revised: 08/16/2006] [Accepted: 08/18/2006] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Stilbenedisulfonates (SD) bind to a "primary" SD (PSD) site on the outer membrane surface of band 3, and inhibit anion exchange (AE) allosterically. Yet, evidence [Membr. Biochem. 2 (1979) 297] suggests that SD can be transported by band 3, thus raising questions about the relative locations of the transport and SD binding sites. A "second" class of DBDS (4,4'-dibenzamido-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate) binding sites has been discovered, which is activated by protons (pK approximately 5.0), and is located on the membrane domain of band 3 [Biochem. J. 388 (2005) 343]. Here we show that the "second" class of DBDS binding sites, not the PSD site, lies on the SD transport pathway. We compare the pH dependence of DBDS influx to DBDS binding using: (a) control cells, (b) cells selectively crosslinked at the PSD site by treatment with 300 microM BS3 (bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate), and (c) cells with DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanato-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate) bound covalently to the PSD site. DBDS binds to the "second" class of sites on band 3 in all three types of cells. DBDS does not bind to the PSD sites of BS3- or DIDS-modified cells. Proton-activated DBDS influx was observed using control and BS3-modified cells, but not when using DIDS-modified cells. The results with DIDS suggest that the PSD site and the transport site overlap. However, this interpretation is disproved by experiments with BS3-modified cells, where the PSD site is blocked, yet DBDS transport and binding to the "second" class of sites both take place.

Abstract
DBDS (4,4'-dibenzamido-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate) influx into magnesium resealed ghosts (MRSG) occurs over the anion/proton co-transport pH range (pK approximately 5.0). Here, factors are studied which may influence the pH dependence of DBDS transport. Accumulation of various stilbenedisulfonate (SD) molecules was studied and found to be correlated with the hydrophobicity of the R-groups (Hansch factor), not protonation of the sulfonates. The role of proton binding to glutamate 681 was found not to be part of the rate-limiting step in DBDS uptake by MRSG. Finally, the pH dependence of changes in quaternary structure/conformational state was investigated using an assay involving photo-crosslinking of band 3 subunits in the presence of DASD (4,4'-diazido-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate). Lowering the pH promoted intersubunit crosslinking by DASD, with a pK value of 4.75+/-1.0. This value is comparable to the pK for DBDS binding to the "second" class of sites on control band 3 (pK = 5.01+/-0.16), and to DBDS influx into control MRSG (pK values between 4.57+/-0.15 and 4.7+/-0.1). Susceptibility to photo-crosslinking was reversed by raising the pH prior to initiation of the reaction. Significantly, no photo-crosslinking was observed between pH 6.0 and 8.0, where band 3 subunits are known to exist as stable dimers and tetramers. We conclude that intersubunit photo-crosslinking does not simply involve random collision between photo-activated DASD and band 3. Rather, proton binding to band 3 either alters the conformation at the interface between subunits of pre-existing tetramers, or it promotes self-association of stable dimers to a "novel" tetrameric conformational state.

Abstract
Results from the first paper in this series indicated that the "primary" stilbenedisulfonate (PSD) site was not located on the DBDS (4, 4'-dibenzamido-2, 2'-stilbenedisulfonate) transport pathway into magnesium resealed ghosts (MRSG). Rather, transport correlated with DBDS binding to the "second" class of proton-activated binding sites located on the membrane domain of band 3 [Biochem. J. 388 (2005) 343]. Here we report the discovery that reversible binding of extracellular H2DIDS (4, 4'-diisothiocyanatodihydro-2, 2'-stilbenedisulfonate) to the PSD site causes a greater than 5-fold acceleration in the rate of DBDS efflux from pre-loaded MRSG at physiological pH. Pre-labeling all of the PSD sites with H2DIDS inhibited the acceleration effect completely, thus confirming mediation by band 3. Acceleration of DBDS efflux could be mimicked by establishing an externally directed proton gradient (acidic inside, pH 7.4 outside). Under these conditions, addition of extracellular H2DIDS neither accelerated DBDS efflux further nor was proton-induced acceleration inhibited. The results of this paper support the view that the PSD binding site on band 3 is an allosteric regulatory site which is not located on the SD transport pathway. We propose a model where H2DIDS binding to the PSD site modulates activity at the "second" class of sites by raising the pK for transport of DBDS into the physiological pH range.

Abstract
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 kidney 293 cells by measurement of changes of intracellular pH associated with bicarbonate transport. To identify residues involved in substrate translocation, transport activity was assessed for each mutant before and after treatment with the following sulfhydryl reagents: anionic para-chloromercuibenzenesulfonate; permeant (2-aminoethyl)methanethiosulfonate; and cationic [2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl]methanethiosulfonate (MTSET). Among the 80 mutants, only certain key residues in the Val849-Leu863 region were inhibited by the sulfhydryl reagent, consistent with direct involvement of these sites in anion transport. In the last two transmembrane segments, only mutants in the extracellular portion of the transmembrane segments could be inhibited by sulfhydryl reagent, suggesting that the outer portions line the translocation channel and the inner portions have some other role. Sensitivity to cationic MTSET and effects of Cl- identified the substrate charge filter as Ser852-Leu857.

Abstract
Current-voltage curves for DIDS-insensitive Cl- conductance have been determined in human red blood cells from five donors. Currents were estimated from the rate of cell shrinkage using flow cytometry and differential laser light scattering. Membrane potentials were estimated from the extracellular pH of unbuffered suspensions using the proton ionophore FCCP. The width of the Gaussian distribution of cell volumes remained invariant during cell shrinkage, indicating a homogeneous C1- conductance among the cells. After pretreatment for 30 min with DIDS, net effluxes of K+ and Cl- were induced by valinomycin and were measured in the continued presence of DIDS; inhibition was maximal at approximately 65% above 1 microM DIDS at both 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C. The nonlinear current-voltage curves for DIDS-insensitive net Cl- effluxes, induced by valinomycin or gramicidin at varied [K+] o, were compared with predictions based on (1) the theory of electrodiffusion, (2) a single barrier model, (3) single occupancy, multiple barrier models, and (4) a voltage-gated mechanism. Electrodiffusion precisely describes the relationship between the measured transmembrane voltage and [K+]o. Under our experimental conditions (pH 7.5, 23 degrees C, 1-3 microM valinomycin or 60 ng/ml gramicidin, 1.2% hematocrit), the constant field permeability ratio PK/PCl is 74 +/- 9 with 10 microM DIDS, corresponding to 73% inhibition of PCl. Fitting the constant field current-voltage equation to the measured Cl- currents yields PCl = 0.13 h-1 with DIDS, compared to 0.49 h-1 without DIDS, in good agreement with most previous studies. The inward rectifying DIDS-insensitive Cl- current, however, is inconsistent with electrodiffusion and with certain single-occupancy multiple barrier models. The data are well described either by a single barrier located near the center of the transmembrane electric field, or, alternatively, by a voltage-gated channel mechanism according to which the maximal conductance is 0.055 +/- 0.005 S/g Hb, half the channels are open at -27 +/- 2 mV, and the equivalent gating charge is -1.2 +/- 0.3.

Abstract
Single-photon radioluminescence (SPR), the excitation of fluorophores by short-range beta-decay electrons, was developed for the measurement of submicroscopic distances. The cytoplasmic domain of band 3 (cdb3) is the primary, multisite anchorage for the erythrocyte skeleton. To begin to define the membrane arrangement of the highly asymmetrical cdb3 structure, the distance from the bilayer of Cys-201 next to the "hinge" of cdb3 was measured by both SPR and resonance energy transfer (RET). cdb3 was labeled at Cys-201 with fluorescein maleimide. For SPR measurements, the bilayer was labeled with [3H]oleic acid. The corrected cdb3-specific SPR signal was 98 +/- 2 cps microCi-1 [mumol band 3]-1. From this and the signal from a parallel sample in which 3H2O was substituted for [3H]oleic acid to create uniform geometry between 3H and the fluorophores, a Cys-201-to-bilayer separation of 39 +/- 7 A was calculated. Confirmatory distances of 40 and 43 A were obtained by RET between fluorescein on Cys-201 and eosin and rhodamine B lipid probes, respectively. This distance indicates that Cys-201 lies near band 3's vertical axis of symmetry and that the subdomain of cdb3 between the hinge and the membrane is not significantly extended. In addition, these results validate SPR as a measure of molecular distances in biological systems.

Abstract
The dominant motional mode for membrane proteins is uniaxial rotational diffusion about the membrane normal axis, and investigations of their rotational dynamics can yield insight into both the oligomeric state of the protein and its interactions with other proteins such as the cytoskeleton. However, results from the spectroscopic methods used to study these dynamics are dependent on the orientation of the probe relative to the axis of motion. We have employed polarized fluorescence confocal microscopy to measure the orientation of eosin-5-maleimide covalently reacted with Lys-430 of human erythrocyte band 3. Steady-state polarized fluorescence images showed distinct intensity patterns, which were fit to an orientation distribution of the eosin absorption and emission dipoles relative to the membrane normal axis. This orientation was found to be unchanged by trypsin treatment, which cleaves band 3 between the integral membrane domain and the cytoskeleton-attached domain. this result suggests that phosphorescence anisotropy changes observed after trypsin treatment are due to a rotational constraint change rather than a reorientation of eosin. By coupling time-resolved prompt fluorescence anisotropy with confocal microscopy, we calculated the expected amplitudes of the e-Dt and e-4Dt terms from the uniaxial rotational diffusion model and found that the e-4Dt term should dominate the anisotropy decay. Delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence anisotropy decays of control and trypsin-treated band 3 in ghosts, analyzed as multiple uniaxially rotating populations using the amplitudes predicted by confocal microscopy, were consistent with three motional species with uniaxial correlation times ranging from 7 microseconds to 1.4 ms.

Abstract
External iodide (I-o) inhibits AE1 (band 3)-mediated anion exchange in human red blood cells by binding to a noncompetitive inhibitory site, the external halide modifier site. External N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethyl sulfonate (NAP-taurine) and N-(4-isothiocyano-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethyl sulfonate (NIP-taurine) also inhibit Cl- exchange noncompetitively. Increasing I-o decreases the inhibitory potency of NIP-taurine in a competitive fashion; this effect is not due to I- binding to the transport site, which has little effect on the NIP-taurine affinity. Bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)-suberate (BSSS) abolishes the noncompetitive inhibitory effect of I-o and greatly reduces the inhibitory effect of NAP-taurine. Together with previous work, these data suggest that external halides, such as I-, Br-, and probably also Cl-, bind to the same noncompetitive inhibitory site as do NAP- and NIP-taurine and that these reagents can be used to label the halide modifier site. Lys-539, a probable reaction site of BSSS, lies within the same segment of AE1 that is labeled by NAP-taurine and thus may be part of the modifier site.

Abstract
It has been suggested that Lys-430 of band 3, with which eosin-5-maleimide (EM) reacts, is located in the external channel through which anions gain access to the external transport site, and that EM inhibits anion exchange by blocking this channel. To test this, we have used 35Cl nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to measure Cl- binding to the external transport site in control and EM-treated human red blood cells. Intact cells were used rather than ghosts, because in this case all line broadening (LB) results from binding to external sites. In an NMR spectrometer with a 9.4-T magnetic field, red blood cells at 50% concentration (v/v) in 150 mM Cl- medium at 3 degrees C caused 19.0 +/- 1.2 Hz LB. Of this, 7.9 +/- 0.7 Hz was due to Cl- binding to the high affinity band 3 transport sites, because it was prevented by an apparently competitive inhibitor of anion exchange, 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DNDS). The LB was not due to hemoglobin released from the cells, as little LB remained in the supernatant after cells were removed by centrifugation. Saturable Cl- binding remained in EM-treated cells, although the binding was no longer DNDS-sensitive, because EM prevents binding of DNDS. The lower limit for the rate at which Cl- goes from the binding site to the external medium is 2.15 x 10(5) s-1 for control cells and 1.10 x 10(5) s-1 for EM-treated cells, far higher than the Cl- translocation rate at 3 degrees C (about 400 s-1). Thus, EM does not inhibit Cl- exchange by blocking the external access channel. EM may therefore be useful for fixing band 3 in one conformation for studies of Cl- binding to the external transport site.

Abstract
Stilbenedisulfonates are potent inhibitors of Band 3 mediated anion exchange. They bind tightly to the protein and form a 1-to-1 reversible complex. Those stilbenedisulfonates which contain isothocyanato groups such as DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanato-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate) and H2DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanatodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate) can also react rapidly with lysine residues within the binding pocket to yield an irreversible covalent adduct. The reactive lysine residue is known as lysine-A, and is thought to have an unusually low pKa. In this report, we characterize the kinetics of DIDS adduct formation with respect to the effect of substrate anions, competitive inhibitory anions, and pH on the rate of covalent adduct formation. We investigate the following: (a) whether stilbenedisulfonates bind to or block access of substrate anions to the transport site; (b) whether the rapidity of the covalent reaction of DIDS at neutral pH is due to a low pKa for lysine-A within the binding pocket; and (c) whether once bound, DIDS and H2DIDS isothiocyanato groups are accessible to reagents. For this latter experiment, we have utilized a newly discovered reaction of the DIDS isothiocyanato groups with azide to test for accessibility. Our results show that substrate anions, DIDS, and Band 3 form a ternary complex. Significantly, the binding of large substrate anions, such as iodide, is not weakened by DIDS to any greater extent than is the binding of smaller substrates such as chloride or fluoride. These results are not consistent with a "partial blockade" hypothesis for the relationship between the stilbenedisulfonate and transport sites. Rather, they support an allosteric site-site interaction hypothesis. Our pH dependence results show that the apparent pKa for the DIDS/lysine-A reaction is greater than 9.26. This is consistent with typical lysine pKa values, and indicates that lysine-A does not have an unusually low pKa. Finally, we show that azide can react with the isothiocyanato groups of DIDS and H2DIDS within their Band 3 complexes, indicating that the stilbenedisulfonate binding site is accessible to solute. These results support a view which suggests that the stilbenedisulfonate site is a superficial inhibitory site on Band 3 which inhibits transport by allosteric interactions within the protein, rather than by either direct or partial blockade of the transport site.

Abstract
As part of a strategy to purify the lysosomal sulfate transporter, we developed a method for reconstitution of transport in artificial membrane vesicles. Lysosomal membranes were prepared from Percoll density gradient purified rat liver lysosomes and membrane proteins were solubilized using the non-ionic detergent, Triton X-100. The solubilized proteins were mixed with liposomes prepared by sonication of egg yolk lecithin and the detergent was removed by passage of the mixture over Bio-beads XAD2. The resulting proteoliposomes exhibited saturable sulfate transport with characteristics that were very similar to those observed in lysosomal membranes. Transport in proteoliposomes had a Km of 155 microM, exhibited pH dependence and was sensitive to inhibition by DIDS. Reconstitution of transport in proteoliposomes may be useful as an assay for purification of the lysosomal sulfate carrier.

Abstract
4,4'-Diisothiocyanatodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate and 4,4'-dibenzoylstilbene-2,2'-disulfonate potently inhibit the erythrocyte anion transporter. These inhibitors act by binding, with a 1:1 stoichiometry, to the band 3 transport protein. We have studied, by sedimentation equilibrium analysis in an analytical ultracentrifuge, the effect of the two closely related stilbenedisulfonates on the state of association of band 3 in the nonionic detergent nonaethyleneglycol lauryl ether. It was found that covalent binding of 4,4'-diisothiocyanatodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate to band 3 did not significantly disturb the monomer/dimer/tetramer association equilibrium shown by the unliganded protein. An entirely different result was obtained after addition of 4,4'-dibenzoylstilbene-2,2'-disulfonate to the protein, at both low and high chloride concentrations. The amount of band 3 dimer in the samples increased with increasing inhibitor concentration c1, and for c1 > or = 15 microM virtually all of the protein was present as dimer. After removal of the inhibitor (by gel filtration or dialysis), the original monomer/dimer/tetramer distribution of the band 3 protein was restored. Our data show that the (noncovalent) binding of 4,4'-dibenzoylstilbene-2,2'-disulfonate drastically changes the coupling between band 3 protomers. In addition, a reversible change in the state of association of band 3 induced by ligand binding is demonstrated.

Abstract
4,4'-Diisothiocyanodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (H2DIDS), a bifunctional inhibitor of anion exchange in erythrocytes, reacts with Lys-539 in band 3 at neutral pH and crosslinks to Lys-851 at alkaline pH. The accessibility of H2DIDS-labelled band 3 was determined using an anti-H2DIDS antibody and proteolysis. Competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) showed that a polyclonal antibody raised against H2DIDS-labelled keyhole limpet hemocyanin bound a variety of stilbene disulphonates in the following order of affinities, H2DIDS having the highest affinity: H2DIDS > 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DIDS) > 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'disulphonate (SITS) > 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DNDS) > 4,4'-diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DADS). The antibody readily detected mono- or bifunctionally H2DIDS-labelled band 3 and proteolytic fragments on immunoblots. H2DIDS attached to Lys-539 is retained in a 7.5 kDa membrane-associated peptide after papain treatment of ghost membranes while the sequence around Lys-851 is more accessible. The band 3 proteolytic fragments protected by the membrane from proteolysis remained associated as a specific complex with a Stokes radius slightly smaller than the dimeric membrane domain after solubilization in detergent solution and retained 82% of the amino acid content of the membrane domain. Circular dichroism (CD) measurements of this H2DIDS-labelled complex showed that it had a very high helical content (86%). The loops connecting the transmembrane segments in H2DIDS-labelled band 3 are therefore not required to maintain transmembrane helix-helix interactions. Denatured band 3 prelabelled with H2DIDS was more readily immunoprecipitated with the anti-H2DIDS antibody than was native band 3 in detergent solution. Deglycosylation of band 3 or proteolytic cleavage of the extramembranous loops did not enhance immunoprecipitation of H2DIDS-labelled band 3. The stilbene disulphonate inhibitor site is therefore relatively inaccessible and is bound by a bundle of helices in the native band 3 protein.

Abstract
Stilbene disulfonic acids inhibit surfactant secretion from lung epithelial type II cells by an undefined mechanism, and inhibit CD4 mediated cell-cell fusion. We have previously shown that lung synexin promotes in vitro fusion of lamellar bodies and plasma membranes, an obligatory process for surfactant secretion. This study investigates the effect of stilbene disulfonic acids, 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS), and 4-acetamido-4'-maleimidylstilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (AMDS), on synexin-mediated liposome aggregation and fusion. Structurally, these three stilbene compounds differ in the number of isothiocyano groups present (DIDS = 2, SITS = 1, and AMDS = 0). At 10 micrograms synexin/ml, DIDS and SITS inhibited synexin-mediated liposome aggregation with an EC50 of 3.5 microM and 148 microM, respectively. In comparison, AMDS was least inhibitory (EC50 > 1 mM). Thus, the inhibitory potency (DIDS > SITS > AMDS) was partly dependent upon the number of isothiocyano groups. The EC50 was also dependent on synexin concentration. Stilbene disulfonic acids were also inhibitory for arachidonic acid-enhanced synexin-mediated liposome fusion. The EC50 for DIDS and SITS for fusion were similar to that for liposome aggregation. Ca(2+)-induced synexin polymerization, measured by 90 degrees light scattering, was increased by DIDS, suggesting binding of stilbene disulfonic acids to synexin. The binding of DIDS to synexin was dependent on the molar ratio of synexin to DIDS. These results indicate that stilbene disulfonic acids interact directly with synexin to inhibit membrane aggregation and fusion. Our results suggest that such inhibition of synexin activity may contribute towards inhibition of surfactant secretion by DIDS, and support a physiological role for synexin in lung surfactant secretion.

Abstract
Glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli is a member of a subgroup of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that do not catalyze ATP-PPi exchange in the absence of the cognate tRNA. Such behavior suggests conformational changes upon substrate binding. Two different fluorescent probes, pyrenylmaleimide and acrylodan, were used to specifically label a nonessential sulfhydryl group of GlnRS. Conformational changes induced by substrates were studied using glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase labeled with these two environment-sensitive probes. ATP was shown to cause a significant conformational change that alters the mode of binding to tRNA(Gln) to GlnRS. The alteration of the salt sensitivity pattern of tRNA(Gln) binding to GlnRS by ATP supports this. Binding of tRNA(Gln) causes a conformational change that may be different in nature for the ATP/GlnRS complex and free GlnRS. Hydrodynamic parameters deduced from fluorescence polarization studies and the use of a noncovalent probe indicate that the ATP-induced conformational change may not be global in character.

Abstract
Two new spin-label derivatives of 4,4'-diaminodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (H2-DADS) have been chemically synthesized and employed in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of binding to the anion exchange protein (band 3) in intact human erythrocytes. Equilibrium binding studies with the 4-monoacyl-spin-label derivative (mono-SL-H2-DADS) indicated an effective dissociation constant of 11 microM and substantial negative cooperativity in isotonic citrate buffer, pH 7.4, at 20 degrees C. The 4,4'-diacyl-spin-label derivative (di-SL-H2-DADS) bound with an effective dissociation constant of 54 microM and no detectable cooperativity under the same binding conditions. The findings of substantial negative cooperativity in binding of the less bulky mono-SL-H2-DADS and no cooperativity for di-SL-H2-DADS suggest the presence of an allosteric coupling between the stilbenedisulfonate sites on adjacent band 3 monomers rather than steric interactions. There were approximately 1 x 10(6) binding sites per erythrocyte for both the mono- and di-SL-H2-DADS derivatives, and the binding of each was blocked by pretreatment of intact cells with 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DIDS), a highly specific covalent inhibitor of anion exchange. EPR spectra collected over a wide range of concentrations of mono-SL-H2-DADS indicated that binding resulted in immobilization of the probe and that, even upon near saturation of available binding sites, there were no detectable dipole-dipole interactions between bound probes. EPR spectra collected using di-SL-H2-DADS revealed the presence of intramolecular dipole-dipole interactions between spin-label moieties on opposite ends of this biradical probe, but no intermolecular dipole-dipole interactions between separate bound probes. These data indicate that di-SL-H2-DADS binds to the stilbenedisulfonate binding site on band 3 in a bent conformation and further suggest that the termini of these binding sites on adjacent monomers are greater than 20 A apart.

Abstract
Subunit interaction effects were identified for isolated human erythrocyte band 3, the anion exchanger, by observing both static and stopped-flow kinetic protein fluorescence changes associated with inhibitor binding to the intramonomeric stilbenedisulfonate site. We measured the rate of conformational changes associated with reversible binding of H2DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate). The rate of H2DIDS release was also measured. As a test for subunit interactions, we studied the effect of partial labeling of the band 3 monomer population with H2DIDS on the equilibrium and kinetics of H2DIDS reversible binding to the remaining monomers. The results showed biphasic kinetics for control band 3, with a pseudo-first-order ligand dependence for the fast phase followed by a slow ligand-independent relaxation. A second-order "on" rate constant for the fast phase was determined to be (1.2 +/- 0.1) x 10(7) M-1 s-1, while the associated "off" rate constant was found to be 1.1 +/- 0.5 s-1. From these kinetic constants, we calculated a Kd value of 95 +/- 50 nM, which is in excellent agreement with the Kd value determined at thermodynamic equilibrium (110 +/- 9 nM). Covalent labeling of 75% of the band 3 monomer population with H2DIDS changed the kinetics of the fast phase, slowing the apparent rate by changing the order of the reaction from pseudo-first-order to zero-order. Partial labeling did not affect the ligand-independent relaxation. Separate measurements of the H2DIDS "off" rate also showed a biphasic time course, with a 20-fold difference in apparent rate constants.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Irreversible inhibition, 99.8% of control values for chloride transport in human red blood cells, was obtained by well-established methods of maximum covalent binding of 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS). The kinetics of the residual chloride transport (0.2%, 106 pmol.cm-2 x s-1) at 38 degrees C, pH 7.2) was studied by means of 36Cl- efflux. The outside apparent affinity, expressed by Ko1/2,c, was 34 mM, as determined by substituting external KCl by sucrose. The residual flux was reversibly inhibited by a reexposure to DIDS, and by 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DNDS), phloretin, salicylate, and alpha-bromo-4-hydroxy-3,5-dinitroacetophenone (Killer III) (Borders, C. L., Jr., D. M. Perez, M. W. Lafferty, A. J. Kondow, J. Brahm, M. B. Fenderson, G. L. Breisford, and V. B. Pett. 1989. Bioorganic Chemistry. 17:96-107), to approximately 0.001% of control cells, which is a flux as low as in lipid bilayers. The reversible DIDS inhibition of the residual chloride flux depended on the extracellular chloride concentration, but was not purely competitive. The half-inhibition concentrations at [Cl(o)] = 150 mM in control cells (Ki,o) and covalently DIDS-treated cells (Ki,c) were: DIDS, Ki,c = 73 nM; DNDS, Ki,o = 6.3 microM, Ki,c = 22 microM; phloretin, Ki,o = 19 microM, Ki,c = 17 microM; salicylate, Ki,o = 4 mM, Ki,c = 8 mM; Killer III, Ki,o = 10 microM, Ki,c = 10 microM.

Abstract
We have investigated the motional dynamics of cytochrome c in the intact, functional rat liver mitochondrion. To do this, functional, FITC-cytochrome c (fluorescein isothiocyanate monoderivatized cytochrome c) was incorporated into the intermembrane space (IMS) of intact mitochondria through encapsulation of cytochrome c into asolectin liposomes followed by low pH-induced fusion of the liposomes with the outer membranes of the mitochondria. A cytochrome c controlled enrichment of between 15%-50% (1800-7200 molecules incorporated per mitochondrion) was obtained. All cytochrome c incorporated, regardless of the quantity, participated in the function of electron transport, indicative of a functional, independent random diffusant. Resonance energy transfer was determined from the IMS-entrapped functional FITC-cytochrome c to octadecylrhodamine B incorporated into the mitochondrial membranes. Resonance energy transfer from FITC-cytochrome c to octadecylrhodamine B in isolated inner or outer mitochondrial membranes (IMM and OMM, respectively) was also measured. We found substantial differences in the effects of ionic strength (I) on the proximity of cytochrome c to isolated IMM and OMM. Interactions with isolated IMM were very dynamic, i.e., very I-dependent, and cytochrome c binding to IMM was significant only at very low I. I-dependent interactions of cytochrome c with isolated OMM were less I-dependent than those for the IMM. However, FITC-cytochrome c was essentially released from IMM and OMM at physiological I. The proximity of FITC-cytochrome c to each mitochondrial membrane after its incorporation into the IMS of intact mitochondria in the condensed configuration was estimated at different external, bulk I using: (a) resonance energy transfer from IMS-entrapped FITC-cytochrome c to octadecylrhodamine B-label evenly distributed in both mitochondrial membranes; and (b) resonance energy transfer from IMS-entrapped FITC-cytochrome c to octadecylrhodamine B-label concentrated in the OMM. Resonance energy transfer showed that the average distance between cytochrome c and the two IMS-membrane surfaces increased with increasing IMS-I, approaching a maximal measurable distance of 85 A at 150 mM I. This result is consistent with a dissociation of FITC-cytochrome c and both membranes of intact mitochondria at physiological I, i.e., when the activity of cytochrome c in electron transport is highest. Our findings reveal a primarily three-dimensional diffusion mode for IMS-cytochrome c during its function in electron transport in intact mitochondria at physiological I, and offer further evidence that mitochondrial electron transport is a process driven by random collisions between its independently diffusing electron transferring, redox components.

Abstract
Near-UV circular dichroism (CD) was used to identify differences in the tertiary structure of human erythrocyte band 3, the chloride/bicarbonate exchange protein, consequent to covalent binding of anion transport inhibitors to the intramonomeric stilbenedisulfonate (ISD) site. Isolated intact band 3 and its membrane domain (B3MD) were compared. Spectral differences were observed which involved intradomain effects, in that they were seen both with intact band 3 and with B3MD, or interdomain effects, in that they were observed only for B3MD, but were inhibited when the cytoplasmic domain was attached. The intradomain effect involved a significant loss in optical activity in the Phe/Tyr region of the spectrum below 280 nm. It was seen only when the ISD site had stilbenedisulfonates bound covalently at pH 7.4. Raising the pH to 9.6 after adduct formation "normalized" this spectral change irreversibly. The interdomain effect was identified in the Trp spectral region at 292 nm. There was a significant increase in optical activity at 292 nm when bulky covalent ligands such as DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate) were bound to B3MD, but not when the same ligands were bound to intact band 3. These latter results offer evidence that certain aspects of the conformational response of the integral domain are inhibited by the presence of an attached cytoplasmic domain. The potential significance of interdomain interactions to band 3 function is discussed briefly.

Abstract
(1) The synthesis of the novel stilbenedisulphonate N,N,N',N'-tetrabenzyl- 4,4'-diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (TBenzDS) is described, and its interaction with the lactate transporter and band 3 protein of erythrocytes investigated. At 10% haematocrit the IC50 (concn. required for 50% inhibition) for inhibition of transport of 0.5 mM L-lactate into rat erythrocytes at 7 degrees C was approx. 1.6 microM, as low as any other inhibitor of the transporter. In human erythrocytes at 10% haematocrit the IC50 value was increased from approx. 3 microM to 9 microM upon raising the temperature from 7 degrees C to 25 degrees C. (2) TBenzDS inhibited transport of L-lactate into rat erythrocytes in a manner that was competitive with the substrate, as is the case for some other stilbene disulphonate derivatives (Poole, R.C. and Halestrap, A.P. (1991) Biochem. J. 275, 307-312). (3) Increasing the haematocrit from 5 to 20% caused a 3-fold increase in the IC50 value for inhibition of L-lactate transport in rat erythrocytes. (4) TBenzDS was found to bind to erythrocyte membranes, with a partition coefficient (Pm) of 6000-7000 under all conditions tested. (5) TBenzDS also inhibited band 3-mediated sulphate transport in rat erythrocytes; 50% inhibition required approx. 2.5 microM TBenzDS for cells at 10% haematocrit. (6) TBenzDS is fluorescent, and an enhancement of this fluorescence occurs upon addition of BSA or erythrocyte membranes. The fluorescence enhancement caused by erythrocyte membranes is due to binding of the inhibitor to the band 3 protein at the same site as the stilbenedisulphonate 4,4'-diisothiocyanodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (H2DIDS).

Abstract
Interaction between Escherichia coli glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) and its substrates have been studied by fluorescence quenching. In the absence of other substrates, glutamine, tRNA(Gln) and ATP bind with dissociation constants of 460, 0.22 and 180 microM, respectively. The presence of other substrates has either no effect or, at best a weak effect, on binding of ligands. Attempts to isolate enzyme-bound aminoacyl adenylate did not succeed. Binding of the phosphodiester, 5'-(methyl)adenosine monophosphate (MeAMP), to GlnRS was studied by fluorescence quenching and radioactive-ligand binding. tRNA also only has a weak effect on phosphodiester binding. Selectively pyrene-labeled GlnRS was used to obtain shape and size information for free GlnRS. A comparison with the GlnRS shape in the GlnRS/tRNA(Gln) crystal structure indicates that no major change in shape and size occurs upon tRNA(Gln) binding to GlnRS. 5,5'-Bis(8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate) (bis-ANS), a non-covalent fluorescent probe, was also used to probe for conformational changes in GlnRS. This probe also indicated that no major conformational change occurs upon tRNA(Gln) binding. We conclude that lack of tRNA-independent pyrophosphate-exchange activity in this enzyme is not a result of either lack of glutamine or ATP binding in the absence of tRNA, or formation of aminoacyl adenylate and slow release of pyrophosphate. A conformational change is implied upon tRNA binding, which promotes pyrophosphate exchange. Fluorescence studies indicate that this conformational change must be limited and local in nature.

Abstract
Macromolecular-conjugated, water-soluble, membrane-impermeant compounds were designed and assessed as topological probes for chloride-transporting agencies. The novel compounds were derivatives of either disulfonic stilbene (DS) and benzylaminoethylsulfonate (BS), "classical" inhibitors of erythrocyte chloride-bicarbonate exchange, or of phenylanthranilates (PA), high-affinity blockers of epithelial chloride channels. Covalent reactive derivatives of various DS, BS, and PA were synthesized and coupled either directly to polyethylene glycol or via spacer arms of different lengths to dextrans. The macromolecular conjugates were demonstrably inhibitory to red blood cell anion exchange when the ligands were appropriately coupled: inhibitory efficacy strongly depended on the chemical structure of the coupled ligand and the spacer length between the inhibitory moiety and the macromolecule. Mechanistic studies indicated that impermeant DS and PA derivatives acted exofacially on sites, which although different in their affinity for chloride, shared geographical proximity. BS derivatives were unique in that they affected transport from either surface. The results suggest asymmetric aqueous access routes leading to the functional domain of the anion transporter from either membrane surface.

Abstract
Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) studies have identified two oligomeric forms of band 3 whose proportions on gel profiles were modulated by the particular ligand occupying the intramonomeric stilbenedisulfonate site during intermonomeric cross-linking by BS3 [bis-(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate] [Salhany et al. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 17688-17693]. When DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate) was irreversibly attached to all monomers, BS3 covalent dimers predominated, while with DNDS (4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate) present to protect the intramonomeric stilbenedisulfonate site from attack by BS3, a partially cross-linked band 3 tetramer was observed. In the present study, we investigate the structure of the protected stilbenedisulfonate site within the tetrameric complex by measuring the ability of patent monomers to react irreversibly with DIDS. Our results show two main populations of band 3 monomers present after reaction with DNDS/BS3: (a) inactive monomers resulting from the displacement of reversibly bound DNDS molecules and subsequent irreversible attachment of BS3 to the intramonomeric stilbenedisulfonate site and (b) residual, active monomers. All of the residual activity was fully inhibitable by DIDS under conditions of reversible binding, confirming expectations that all of the monomers responsible for the residual activity have patent stilbenedisulfonate sites. However, within this active population, two subpopulations could be identified: (1) monomers which were irreversibly reactive toward DIDS and (2) monomers which were refractory toward irreversible binding of DIDS at pH 6.9, despite being capable of binding DIDS reversibly. Increasing the pH to 9.5 during treatment of DNDS/BS3-modified cells with 300 microM DIDS did not cause increased irreversible transport inhibition relative to that seen for cells treated at pH 6.9.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Chloride transport occurs at the interface between the internal and external environments of a cell where chloride uptake or efflux is regulated through a variety of mechanisms that involve cotransport of cations, exchange mechanism with anions, or movement through channels. One of these mechanisms, a chloride-bicarbonate exchange found in the human red blood cell, is well characterized and is mediated by a protein commonly known as band 3. To ascertain the presence of this or other mechanisms in epithelia, the sensitivity of epithelial membranes toward stilbenes was examined. Structure function activities of stilbene derivatives with red cell ghosts show that stilbene molecules block anion transport sites. One of these stilbenes, 4-benzamido-4'-aminostilbene-2-2'-disulfonic acid (BADS), chosen for its property of enhanced fluorescence on binding to hydrophobic sites, was used as a probe to examine the presence or absence of similar sites on epithelial membranes. With the use of nonlinear curve fitting, a single class of sites was found for BADS in the rat kidney cortex (1.6 microM), rat kidney medulla (2.1 microM), rat small intestine (2.2 microM), rat pancreatic islets (5.8 microM), frog cornea (4.3 microM), and shark rectal gland (1.5 microM). In the presence of chloride, the affinity for BADS decreased in all tissues except the frog corneal epithelium where it remained unchanged. The binding of BADS could be displaced by loop diuretics (furosemide, bumetanide, and piretanide) and thiocyanate anion in the kidney, intestine, and shark rectal gland; 50% displacement occurred at approximately 40 microM concentrations for furosemide with an order of magnitude less for bumetanide. The near-millimolar concentrations required for the displacement of BADS by loop diuretics indicate that this effect is nonspecific. However, the effect of chloride, thiocyanate, and loop diuretics on the binding of BADS indicates that BADS possibly interacts with an anion site.

Abstract
The capnophorin (band 3)-mediated chloride self exchange flux in intact erythrocytes and in resealed erythrocyte ghosts was determined at pH 7.3 by measuring the unidirectional efflux of 36Cl-. The time-dependent irreversible inactivation of the anion transport system by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) was measured as the relative change of the unidirectional 36Cl efflux rate. The rate of covalent DIDS binding under conditions of excess DIDS in solution that ensure a complete irreversible inhibition followed an exponential time course with a rate coefficient Kcov (min-1). The Arrhenius activation enthalpy of Kcov was constant, 114 kJ/mol, at 0-38 degrees C. At 38 and 0 degrees C, Kcov was 0.5 min-1 [half time (T1/2) = ln2/Kcov = 1.3 min] and 0.004 min-1 (T1/2 = 178 min), respectively. The slow irreversible DIDS binding to the anion transport system at 0 degrees C allows a determination of the kinetics of the reversible DIDS reaction. The pseudo first-order rate constant for binding, kon, was 3.5 X 10(5) (M.s)-1. The apparent dissociation constant, KD, determined from the steady-state binding to the erythrocyte membrane was 3.1 X 10(-8) M at an equal internal and external Cl- concentration of 165 mM (0 degrees C). The value of KD shows that DIDS is the most efficient reversible inhibitor among the stilbene derivatives so far studied. Maximum reversible inhibition by DIDS was obtained by binding of a minimum of approximately 10(6) molecules/cell membrane. The number is similar to that obtained from studies of irreversible DIDS binding.

Abstract
One of the new methods of studying the structure and dimensions of biological membranes is based on the Förster's nonradiative energy transfer between special molecules, the so-called 'membrane fluorescent probes'. Further development of the approach is presented in this article. It consists of the combined use of the time-resolved and steady-state fluorescence data with subsequent computer simulation of the energy transfer in membranes. Anthracene as an energy donor, and 4-p-(dimethylamino)styryl-N-dodecylpyridinium (DSP-12) or 4-dimethylaminochalcone (DMC) as energy acceptors were bound with artificial phospholipid membrane vesicles ('liposomes'). The synchrotron radiation was used as an impulse source for the excitation light. The steady-state fluorescence data permit the area of possible probe localization in membranes to be distinguished, while the kinetic data allow them to be narrowed significantly. There is a good agreement between the obtained localization and our present-day knowledge of lipid bilayer structure. The accuracy of the method is ca. several Angströms.

Abstract
Treatment of human erythrocytes with the membrane-impermeant carbodiimide 1-ethyl-3-[3-(trimethylammonio)propyl]carbodiimide (ETC) in citrate-buffered sucrose leads to irreversible inhibition of phosphate-chloride exchange. The level of transport inhibition produced was dependent on the concentration of citrate present during treatment, with a maximum of approx. 60% inhibition. [14C]Citric acid was incorporated into Band 3 (Mr = 95,000) in proportion to the level of transport inhibition, reaching a maximum stoichiometry of 0.7 mol citrate per mol Band 3. The citrate label was localized to a 17 kDa transmembrane fragment of the Band 3 polypeptide. Citrate incorporation was prevented by the transport inhibitors 4,4'-diisothiocyano- and 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate. ETC plus citrate treatment also dramatically reduced the covalent labeling of Band 3 by [3H]4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-dihydrostilbene disulfonate (3H2DIDS). Noncovalent binding of stilbene disulfonates to modified Band 3 was retained, but with reduced affinity. We propose that the inhibition of anion exchange in this case is due to carbodiimide-activated citrate modification of a lysine residue in the stilbenedisulfonate binding site, forming a citrate-lysine adduct that has altered transport function. The evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that the modified residue may be Lys a, the lysine residue involved in the covalent reaction with H2DIDS. Treatment of erythrocytes with ETC in the absence of citrate resulted in inhibition of anion exchange that reversed upon prolonged incubation. This reversal was prevented by treatment in the presence of hydrophobic nucleophiles, including phenylalanine ethyl ester. Thus, inhibition of anion exchange by ETC in the absence of citrate appears to involve modification of a protein carboxyl residue(s) such that both the carbodiimide- and the nucleophile-adduct result in inhibition.

Abstract
A membrane protein that is immunochemically similar to the red cell anion exchange protein, band 3, has been identified on the basolateral face of the outer medullary collecting duct (MCD) cells in rabbit kidney. In freshly prepared separated rabbit MCD cells, M.L. Zeidel, P. Silva and J.L. Seifter (J. Clin. Invest. 77:1682-1688, 1986) found that C1-/HCO-3 exchange was inhibited by the stilbene anion exchange inhibitor, DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic stilbene), with a K1 similar to that for the red cell. We have measured the binding affinities of a fluorescent stilbene inhibitor, DBDS (4,4'-dibenzamido-2,2'-disulfonic stilbene), to MCD cells in 28.5 mM citrate and have characterized both a high-affinity site (Ks1 = 93 +/- 24 nM) and a lower affinity site (Ks2 = 430 +/- 260 nM), which are closely similar to values for the red cell of 110 +/- 51 nM for the high-affinity site and 980 +/- 200 nM for the lower affinity site (A.S. Verkman, J.A. Dix & A.K. Solomon, J. Gen. Physiol. 81:421-449, 1983). When Cl- replaces citrate in the buffer, the two sites collapse into a single one with Ks1 = 1500 +/- 400 nM, similar to the single Ks1 = 1200 +/- 200 nM in the red cell (J.A. Dix, A.S. Verkman & A.K. Solomon, J. Membrane Biol. 89:211-223, 1986). The kinetics of DBDS binding to MCD cells at 0.25 microM-1 are characterized by a fast process, tau = 0.14 +/- 0.03 sec, similar to tau = 0.12 +/- 0.03 sec in the red cell. These similarities show that the physical chemical characteristics of stilbene inhibitor binding to MCD cell 'band 3' closely resemble those for red cell band 3, which suggests that the molecular structure is highly conserved.

Abstract
Reversible dissociation of the dimeric structure of brain pyridoxal kinase into subunits was attained by addition of guanidinium HCl (2 M). The molecular mass of the subunits (40 kDa) was determined by HPLC chromatography. Separation of the processes of refolding and association of the monomeric species was achieved by attaching the protein subunits to a rigid matrix (Affi-gel 15). The matrix-bound monomer is catalytically competent. The reaction of the crosslinking reagent 4,4'-dimaleimidestilbene 2,2'-disulfonate (DMDS), a derivatized stilbene, with the dimeric structure of pyridoxal kinase resulted in the formation of an oligomeric species of 80 kDa detectable by SDS-PAGE. The crosslinked subunits exhibit the same catalytic parameters as the native enzyme. The presence of two nucleotide-binding sites per dimer was determined by fluorimetric titrations using pyridoxyl-ATP, a strong competitive inhibitor with respect to ATP. The ATP analog binds with a Kd = 5 microM to each nucleotide site of the dimeric enzyme. The mode of binding pyridoxyl-ATP to the kinase is discussed in reference to a model which assumes the presence of two binding domains per subunit.
