Band 3, or anion exchanger 1 (AE1), is one of the indispensable transmembrane proteins involved in effective respiratory processes in the human body, mainly responsible for the exchange of bicarbonate and chloride ions on the plasma membrane of red blood cells. However, the effect of related gene mutations on Band 3 ion transport is not fully understood. In this work, we used all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically investigate the effects of the mutation from cysteine (C) to tryptophan (W) at site 479 in Band 3 on the structure of Band 3 and its interaction with anions. We studied the kinetics of wild-type (WT) and mutant Band 3 interactions with bicarbonate and chloride ions on the microsecond scale. The results showed that the mutation at site 479 affected the stability of Band 3 structure and the distribution of anions, and changed the affinity of anions to different parts of Band 3. These findings provide some insights into the structural and functional effects of gene mutations in Band 3 and contribute to understanding Band 3 anion exchange.
