Previous studies have shown that a single P327R point mutation in the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 (cdb3) protein, known as band 3 Tuscaloosa, leads to a reduction in protein 4.2 content of the erythrocyte membrane and hemolytic anemia. Recent studies have shown that this point mutation does not dissociate the cdb3 dimer, nor does it lead to large-scale rearrangement of the protein structure (Bustos, S. P., and...
