title: Comparison of murine band 3 protein-mediated Cl- transport as measured in mouse red blood cells and in oocytes of Xenopus laevis.
abstract: Murine band 3 protein was expressed in oocytes of Xenopus laevis after microinjection of the mRNA from the spleens of anemic mice. The 36Cl- efflux from the oocytes was compared with the chloride fluxes measured in murine red cells. In both oocytes and red cells, the band 3-mediated chloride transport showed the following features: the selective inhibitor of band 3-mediated anion transport, 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate exerts its effects only when applied to the outside and not when applied to the inside of the membrane. The K1/2 for inhibition by external 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate was of the order of 1.5 to 2.0 mumol/l. Flufenamate and persantine also produce similar inhibitory effects. Decreasing the pH from 7.4 to 6.0 leads to some inhibition. It is concluded that essential features of the mode of action of murine erythroid band 3 protein in the plasma membrane of the oocyte are similar to the mode of action in the bilayer of the red blood cell of the mouse.
