Band 3 is the~ 90 000-daltonmembrane-span-ning polypeptide believed to facilitate anion transport in the human erythrocyte membrane. Previous studies have shown that digestion of this protein while still membrane-bound generates large, topographically defined, overlapping frag-ments which account for all or nearly all of its mass. We have now purified seven of these fragments, utilizing selective membrane solubilization, gel filtration, and preparative gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. Amino acid analysis revealed that fragments derived from theouter surface and membrane-spanning regions of band 3 were distinctly hydro-phobic, while cytoplasmic surface segments were relatively polar; these compositional data parallel the solubility in aqueous solutions and the mode of membrane association of the various fragments. Digestion of intact cells with chymotrypsin generated a 38 000-dalton outer-surface and a 55 000-dalton transmembrane fragment. The sums of their apparent molecular weights and of their compositions ap-proximated the band 3 polypeptide, suggesting a single site of cleavage at the extracellular face. Chymotryptic digestion at iBand 3, an~ 90 000-dalton glycoprotein, is the predominant polypeptide of the human erythrocyte membrane, comprising approximately 25% of the protein mass (cf. Steck, 1974). Band 3 is believed to be involved in the facilitated diffusion of anions
