Abstract excerpt
Chemical cross-linking has been used to determine the composition of the erythrocyte band 3 protein dimer in Southeast Asian ovalocytes (SAO). Individuals with SAO are heterozygous for a mutation in which residues 400-408 of band 3 are deleted. Normal and variant protein are present in equal amounts, but the SAO protein does not transport anions or bind stilbenedisulfonates with high affinity. We find that the...
