The inhibitor of anion exchange 4,4'-dibenzoamido-2,2'-disulfonic stilbene (DBDS) binds to band 3, the anion transport protein in human red cell ghost membranes, and undergoes a large increase in fluorescence intensity when bound to band 3. Equilibrium binding studies performed in the absence of transportable anions show that DBDS binds to both a class of high-affinity (65 nM) and low-affinity (820 nM) sites with stoichiometry equivalent to 1.6 nmol/mg ghost protein for each site, which is consistent with one DBDS site on each band 3 monomer. The kinetics of DBDS binding were studied both by stopped-flow and temperature-jump experiments. The stopped-flow data indicate that DBDS binding to the apparent high-affinity site involves association with a low-affinity site (3 microM) followed by a slow (4 s-1) conformational change that locks the DBDS molecule in place. A detailed, quantitative fit of the temperature-jump data to several binding mechanisms supports a sequential-binding model, in which a first DBDS molecule binds to one monomer and induces a conformational change. A second DBDS molecule then binds to the second monomer. If the two monomers are assumed to be initially identical, thermodynamic characterization of the binding sites shows that the conformational change induces an interaction between the two monomers that modifies the characteristics of the second DBDS binding site.

Human erythrocyte band 3 is purified and reconstituted into vesicles, forming right-side-out proteoliposomes. Zn2+ entrapped inside the proteoliposomes inhibits the anion transport activity of band 3, and removal of the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 is able to diminish Zn2+ inhibition. Thus, the inhibition of activity of band 3 results from the Zn2+ induced conformational change of the cytoplasmic domain, which in turn is transmitted to the membrane domain. The results of intrinsic fluorescence and its quenching by HB and the 35Cl NMR study indicate that the cytoplasmic domain is essential for the conformational change induced by Zn2+.SH-blocking reagents, CH3I and GSSG, are used to modify the cytoplasmic domain, where they specifically bind to Cys201 and Cys317. It is observed that the Zn2+ induced inhibition of anion transport activity is blocked. This demonstrates that Cys201 and Cys317 are required in Zn2+-mediated domain–domain communication.
