The role of the erythrocyte anion exchanger, band 3 protein (AE1), in the adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to CD36 and thrombospondin (TSP) was studied. Two specific anion exchange inhibitors that bind covalently to different regions of the band 3 molecule affected cytoadherence in dissimilar ways. Modification of lysine 539 by diisothiocyanostilbene sulfonic acid (DIDS) resulted in a significant reduction in the adhesive properties of parasitized erythrocytes for CD36, but not TSP, whereas treatment with fluorescein-5-maleimide, which modifies lysine 430, was without effect on both TSP and CD36 binding. The adhesive properties of the DIDS binding region (DBR) was demonstrated by competition experiments using synthetic peptides and by direct interaction of such peptides with CD36 transfected CHO cells. The results suggest that host membrane proteins such as AE1 contribute to the adhesion of malaria-infected erythrocytes to CD36.
