Hemoglobin Abruzzo is an abnormal human hemoglobin with a substitution at a residue known to be involved in the binding of 2,3-diphosphoglyceric acid. It has increased oxygen affinity and reduced heme-heme interaction in the absence of organic or inorganic phosphate cofactors. In inorganic phosphate buffers the Bohr effect and heme-heme interaction are normal, but the oxygen affinity remains higher than that of hemoglobin A. CO combination in inorganic phosphate is more strongly autocatalytic than in normal hemoglobin and a slower rate of oxygen dissociation is observed. Although many of the functional differences of this variant may be attributed to the high oxygen affinity of the mutant beta chains, the interactions between subunits are also affected by the histidine to arginine substitution at beta143. Stripped hemoglobin Abruzzo appears to be significantly more dissociated than hemoglobin A. Kinetic studies indicate that interaction with organic or inorganic phosphates decreases its subunit dissociation. In all of the functional properties examined, hemoglobin Abruzzo is more sensitive to the allosteric influence of organic and inorganic anions than is hemoglobin A. 相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis of an important subunit contact site, Asp-99(beta), by a Lys residue (D99K(beta)) was proven by sequencing the entire beta-globin gene and the mutant tryptic peptide. Oxygen equilibrium curves of the mutant hemoglobin (Hb) (2-15 mM in heme) indicated that it had an increased oxygen affinity and a lowered but significant amount of cooperativity compared to native HbA. However, in contrast to normal HbA, oxygen binding of the recombinant mutant Hb was only marginally affected by the allosteric regulators 2,3-diphosphoglycerate or inositol hexaphosphate and was not at all responsive to chloride. The efficiency of oxygen binding by HbA in the presence of allosteric regulators was limited by the mutant Hb. At concentrations of 0.2 mM or lower in heme, the mutant D99K(beta) Hb was predominantly a dimer as demonstrated by gel filtration, haptoglobin binding, fluorescence quenching, and light scattering. The purified dimeric recombinant Hb mutant exists in 2 forms that are separable on isoelectric focusing by about 0.1 pH unit, in contrast to tetrameric hemoglobin, which shows 1 band. These mutant forms, which were present in a ratio of 60:40, had the same masses for their heme and globin moieties as determined by mass spectrometry. The elution positions of the alpha- and beta-globin subunits on HPLC were identical. Circular dichroism studies showed that one form of the mutant Hb had a negative ellipticity at 410 nm and the other had positive ellipticity at this wavelength. The findings suggest that the 2 D99K(beta) recombinant mutant forms have differences in their heme-protein environments. 相似文献

The mutations in hemoglobin Nancy beta145(HC2) Tyr leads to Asp and hemoglobin Cochin-Portal-Royal beta146(HC3) His leads to Arg involve residues which are thought to be essential for the full expression of allosteric action in hemoglobin. Relative to the structure of deoxyhemoglobin A, our x-ray study of deoxyhemoglobin Nancy shows severe disordering of the beta chain COOH-terminal tetrapeptide and a possible movement of the beta heme iron atom toward the plane of the porphyrin ring. These structural perturbations result in a high oxygen affinity, reduced Bohr effect, and lack of cooperatively in hemoglobin Nancy. In the presence of inositol hexaphosphate (IHP), the Hill constant for hemoglobin Nancy increases from 1.1 to 2.0. But relative to its action on hemoglobin A, IHP is much less effective in reducing the oxygen affinity and in increasing the Bohr effect of hemoglobin Nancy. This indicates that IHP does not influence the R in equilibrium T equilibrium as much in hemoglobin Nancy as in hemoglobin A, and this probably is due to the disordering of His 143beta which is known to be part of the IHP binding site. IHP is also known to produce large changes in the absorption spectrum of methemoglobin A, but we find that it has no effect on the spectrum of methemoglobin Nancy. In contrast to the large structural changes in deoxyhemoglobin Nancy, the structure of deoxyhemoglobin Cochin-Port-Royal differs from deoxyhemoglobin A only in the position of the side chain of residue 146beta. The intrasubunit salt bridge between His 146beta and Asp 94beta in deoxyhemoglobin A is lost in deoxyhemoglobin Cochin-Portal-Royal with the guanidinium ion of Arg 146beta floating freely in solution. This small difference in structure results in a reduced Bohr effect, but does not cause a change in the Hill coefficient, the response to 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, or the oxygen affinity at physiological pH. 相似文献

ESR spectra of the carbonmonoxy, oxy, and deoxy derivatives of hemoglobin Izu [Hb Izu (Macaca): beta 83 (EF 7) Gly leads to Cys] labeled at cysteine beta 83 with maleimide spin label have been observed in the presence and absence of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and inositol hexaphosphate. The tau c values obtained from the spectra indicated that inositol hexaphosphate binds to all the derivatives of Hb Izu, but 2,3-diphosphoglycerate only to the deoxy derivatives. 相似文献

Hemoglobin Deer Lodge is an abnormal human hemoglobin with arginine substituted for histidine at the beta 2 position. X-ray crystallography of normal human hemoglobin has shown that the beta 2 residue is normally part of the binding site for 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. The substitution of arginine for histidine at beta 2 affects both the kinetics and equilibria of ligand binding. When stripped of anions, Hb Deer Lodge has an increased oxygen affinity and a decreased degree of cooperativity relative to Hb A. The alkaline Bohr effect is slightly increased and there are marked increases in oxygen affinity below pH 6 and above pH 8. In the presence of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate the cooperativity in increases to nromal and the pH dependence of oxygen binding is reduced. This contrasts with the enhanced Bohr effect seen for Hb A in the presence of organic phosphates. Due to enhanced anion binding at high pH, Hb Deer Lodge has a slightly lower oxygen affinity than Hb A at pH 9 in the presence of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate or inositol hexaphosphate. Kinetic studies at neutral pH in the absence of organic phosphates revealed biphasicity in the rate of oxygen dissociation from Hb Deer Lodge, while approximately linear time courses were observed for Hb A. The fast phase of the oxygen dissociation kinetics shows great pH sensitivity, and organic phosphates increase the rate and percentage of the fast phase without greatly affecting the slow phase. The two phases are not resolvable at high pH. CO combination kinetics are much like those of Hb A except that "fast" and "slow" phases were apparent at wavelengths near the deoxy-CO isobestic point. We suggest that functional differences between the alpha and beta chains are enhanced in Hb Deer Lodge. After flash photolysis of the CO derivative, the percentage of quickly reacting material was slightly greater for Hb Deer Lodge than for Hb A. This may imply a somewhat greater tendency to dissociate into high affinity subunits. The substitution of arginine for histidine at beta 2 thus results in a macromolecule whose ligand-binding properties are significantly altered, the primary differences being expressed at high pH where Hb Deer Lodge binds anions more strongly than Hb A. The properties of Hb Deer Lodge are compared to those of other hemoglobin variants with substitutions at residues involved in binding of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. 相似文献

The deoxygenation kinetics of isolated adult and fetal hemoglobin are measured. The results demonstrate that significant functional differences exist between the two tetrameric hemoglobins. It is pointed out that these functional differences closely parallel the differences in similar properties of beta and gamma chains. It is also shown that 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) has no significant effect on the deoxygenation rate of fetal hemoglobin. This result appears to be consistent with the reported weaker binding of 2,3-DPG to the oxygen linked groups of fetal hemoglobin. 相似文献

Stripped human hemoglobin was shown to have a high apparent zinc association constant of 1.3 X 10(7) M-1 with a stoichiometry of one zinc for every two hemes. The saturation of this site produces a dramatic 3.7-fold increase in the oxygen affinity. The effect of zinc on the oxygen affinity is interrelated with the interaction of 2,3-diphosphoglyceric acid (2,3-DPG) and hemoglobin. Thus, a smaller zinc effect is observed in the presence of added 2,3-DPG. Information about the location of the zinc-binding site responsible for the increased oxygen affinity has been obtained by comparing the binding of zinc to various hemoglobins. Blocking the beta93 sulfhydryl group decreases the apparent zinc association constant by an order of magnitude. The substitution of histidine-beta143 in hemoglobin Abruzzo [beta143 (H21) His leads to Arg] and hemoglobin Little Rock [beta143 (H21) His leads to Gln] decreases the apparent zinc association constant by two orders of magnitude. The substitution of histidine-beta143 by other amino acids and the reaction of the beta93 sulfhydryl group are known to produce dramatic increases in the oxygen affinity. The binding of zinc to one or both of these amino acids can, therefore, explain the zinc-induced increase in the oxygen affinity. 相似文献

1H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance investigation of the interaction between 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and human normal adult hemoglobin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
High-resolution 1H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to investigate the binding of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate to human normal adult hemoglobin and the molecular interactions involved in the allosteric effect of the 2,3-diphosphoglycerate molecule on hemoglobin. Individual hydrogen ion NMR titration curves have been obtained for 22-26 histidyl residues of hemoglobin and for each phosphate group of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate with hemoglobin in both the deoxy and carbonmonoxy forms. The results indicate that 2,3-diphosphoglycerate binds to deoxyhemoglobin at the central cavity between the two beta chains and the binding involves the beta 2-histidyl residues. Moreover, the results suggest that the binding site of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate to carbonmonoxyhemoglobin contains the same (or at least some of the same) amino acid residues responsible for binding in the deoxy form. As a result of the specific interactions with 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, the beta 2-histidyl residues make a significant contribution to the alkaline Bohr effect under these experimental conditions (up to 0.5 proton/Hb tetramer). 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate also affects the individual hydrogen ion equilibria of several histidyl residues located away from the binding site on the surface of the hemoglobin molecule, and, possibly, in the heme pockets. These results give the first experimental demonstration that long-range electrostatic and/or conformational effects of the binding could play an important role in the allosteric effect of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate on hemoglobin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

To investigate the mode of interactions between heme metal, bound oxygen and the distal residue at the E7 site, we have measured accurate oxygen equilibrium curves, oxygen binding relaxations following temperature-jump, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of natural and cobalt-substituted opossum hemoglobin, which has glutamine and histidine at the E7 site of the α chain and the β chain, respectively, and compared them with those of natural and cobalt-substituted human hemoglobin, which has histidine at the E7 site of both the α and β chains.Natural opossum hemoglobin has a lower oxygen affinity, slightly smaller and pH-dependent co-operativity, a somewhat greater Bohr effect, and a smaller effect of organic phosphates such as 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and inositol hexaphosphate on oxygen affinity as compared to natural human hemoglobin. Upon substitution of cobalt for iron, these oxygenation characteristics of opossum hemoglobin relative to those of human hemoglobin were preserved well. The behavior of the intrinsic oxygen association constants pertaining to the four oxygenation steps (i.e. the Adair constants) upon addition of the organic phosphates or pH changes indicates that the allosteric equilibrium in opossum hemoglobin is biased towards the T state as compared with that in human hemoglobin, and that the oxygen affinity of the R structure is lower for opossum hemoglobin than for human hemoglobin. The temperature-jump kinetic data indicate that the lower oxygen affinity of opossum cobalt-hemoglobin in comparison with that of human cobalt-hemoglobin can be ascribed to a decreased oxygen association rate constant. The electron paramagnetic resonance experiments on oxy and deoxy opossum and human cobalt-hemoglobins in buffered H2O and 2H2O, including their photolysed products at a low temperature, provided the following information. The cobaltous ion of the α subunits of deoxy opossum cobalt-hemoglobin is in an environment that is similar to that for cobaltous ions of deoxy human cobalt-hemoglobin in the T state. The hydrogen bond between the bound oxygen and the residue at E7, which has been shown to exist in oxy human cobalt-hemoglobin and oxy sperm whale cobalt-myoglobin, is absent or, at least, significantly altered in the α subunits of oxy opossum cobalt-hemoglobin, probably resulting in a lower oxygen affinity. Interference by isoleucine at E11α with an oxygen molecule is suggested as an explanation for the lowered affinity of opossum iron-hemoglobin. However, no straightforward structural explanation is available for the lower oxygen affinity of the R structure and the allosteric equilibrium biased towards the T state in opossum iron-hemoglobin. 相似文献

Reciprocal interaction of hemoglobin with oxygen and protons. The influence of allosteric polyanions. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The interaction of three inositol esters, inositol hexaphosphate (IHP), inositol pentaphosphate (IPP), and inositol hexasulfate (IHS), with hemoglobin has been investigated. The proton uptake method was used to obtain the six binding constants for deoxy- and oxyhemoglobin. These data combined with oxygen binding curves over a range of cofactor concentrations were used to test theoretical and empirical equations relating the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and allosteric effectors. The Bohr and Haldane coefficients in the presence of the inositol esters are unequal at low, but not at high, concentration of the cofactors. The maximum value reached by both parameters increases with the number of negative charges of the polyanion. 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate (DPG) differs sharply from the inositol esters since even at high concentrations of this cofactor, the Haldane coefficient remains elevated. This is a reflection of the negligible affinity of DPG for fully oxygenated hemoglobin. 相似文献

Equilibrium oxygen binding to human hemoglobin cross-linked between the alpha chains by bis(3,5-dibromosalicyl) fumarate 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Oxygen equilibrium curves of human hemoglobin Ao (HbAo) and human hemoglobin cross-linked between the alpha chains (alpha alpha Hb) by bis(3,5-dibromosalicyl) fumarate were measured as a function of pH and chloride or organic phosphate concentration. Compared to HbAo, the oxygen affinity of alpha alpha Hb was lower, cooperativity was maintained, although slightly reduced, and all heterotropic effects were diminished. The major effect of alpha alpha-cross-linking appears to be a reduction of the oxygen affinity of R-state hemoglobin under all conditions. However, while the oxygen affinity of T-state alpha alpha Hb was slightly reduced at physiologic chloride concentration and in the absence of organic phosphates, KT was the same for both hemoglobins in the presence of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (or high salt) and higher for alpha alpha Hb in the presence of inositol hexaphosphate. The reduced O2 affinity arises from smaller binding constants for both T- and R-state alpha alpha Hb rather than through stabilization of the low affinity conformation. All four Adair constants could be determined for alpha alpha Hb under most conditions, but a3 could not be resolved for HbAo without constraining a4, suggesting that the cross-link stabilizes triply ligated intermediates of hemoglobin. 相似文献

Based upon existing crystallographic evidence, HbS, HbC, and HbA have essentially the same molecular structure. However, important areas of the molecule are not well defined crystallographically (e.g. the N-terminal nonhelical portion of the alpha and beta chains), and conformational constraints differ in solution and in the crystalline state. Over the years, our laboratory and others have provided evidence of conformational changes in HbS and, more recently, in HbC. We now present data based upon allosteric perturbation monitored by front-face fluorescence, ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and oxygen equilibrium studies that confirm and significantly expand previous findings suggesting solution-active structural differences in liganded forms of HbS and HbC distal to the site of mutation and involving the 2,3-diphosphoglycerate binding pocket. The liganded forms of these hemoglobins are of significant interest because HbC crystallizes in the erythrocyte in the oxy form, and oxy HbS exhibits increased mechanical precipitability and a high propensity to oxidize. Specific findings are as follows: 1) differences in the intrinsic fluorescence indicate that the Trp microenvironments are more hydrophobic for HbS > HbC > HbA, 2) ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy detects alterations in Tyr hydrogen bonding, in Trp hydrophobicity at the alpha1beta2 interface (beta37), and in the A-helix (alpha14/beta15) of both chains, 3) displacement by inositol hexaphosphate of the Hb-bound 8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrenetrisulfonate (the fluorescent 2,3-diphosphoglycerate analog) follows the order HbA > HbS > HbC, and 4) oxygen equilibria measurements indicate a differential allosteric effect by inositol hexaphosphate for HbC approximately HbS > HbA. 相似文献

The contribution of heterotropic effectors to hemoglobin allostery is still not completely understood. With the recently proposed global allostery model, this question acquires crucial significance, because it relates tertiary conformational changes to effector binding in both the R- and T-states. In this context, an important question is how far the induced conformational changes propagate from the binding site(s) of the allosteric effectors. We present a study in which we monitored the interdimeric interface when the effectors such as Cl-, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, inositol hexaphosphate, and bezafibrate were bound. We studied oxy-Hb and a hybrid form (alphaFeO2)2-(betaZn)2 as the T-state analogue by monitoring heme absorption and Trp intrinsic fluorescence under hydrostatic pressure. We observed a pressure-dependent change in the intrinsic fluorescence, which we attribute to a pressure-induced tetramer to dimer transition with characteristic pressures in the 70-200-megapascal range. The transition is sensitive to the binding of allosteric effectors. We fitted the data with a simple model for the tetramer-dimer transition and determined the dissociation constants at atmospheric pressure. In the R-state, we observed a stabilizing effect by the allosteric effectors, although in the T-analogue a stronger destabilizing effect was seen. The order of efficiency was the same in both states, but with the opposite trend as inositol hexaphosphate > 2,3-diphosphoglycerate > Cl-. We detected intrinsic fluorescence from bound bezafibrate that introduced uncertainty in the comparison with other effectors. The results support the global allostery model by showing that conformational changes propagate from the effector binding site to the interdimeric interfaces in both quaternary states. 相似文献

The interaction of organic phosphates with hemoglobin is studied by use of a simple thermodynamic approach. A model-independent analysis is employed to evaluate the accuracy of Adair constants determined in the presence of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG). The change of oxygen affinity in the presence of phosphates is related to the macroscopic phosphate binding constants of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin and used to extract such binding constants from oxygen equilibrium measurements. The change of the Bohr effect in the presence of phosphates and the competitive binding of carbon dioxide and DPG are treated quantitatively. The binding of organic phosphates is incorporated into an allosteric model, in which the effect of phosphate on both tertiary and quaternary structure changes is included. By use of this model, the factors which can be responsible for the increased functional heterogeneity of alpha and beta chains in the presence of phosphates are clarified. 相似文献

Hemoglobins (Hb) Yakima and Kempsey were purified from patients' blood with diethylaminoethyl cellulose column chromatography. The oxygen equilibrium curves of the two hemoglobins and the effects of organic phosphates on the function were investigated. In 0.1 M phosphate buffer, Hill's constants n for Hb Yakima and Hb Kempsey were 1.0 to 1.1 at the pH range for 6.5 to 8.0 and the oxygen affinities of both the mutant hemoglobins were about 15 to 20 times that of Hb A at pH 7.0. The Bohr effect was normal in Hb Yakima and one-fourth normal in Hb Kempsey. In the presence of inositol hexaphosphate, the oxygen affinities to Hb Yakima and Hb Kempsey were greatly decreased, and an interesting result revealed that these hemoglobins showed clear cooperativity in oxygen binding. Hill's constant n in the presence of inositol hexaphosphate was 1.9 for Hb Kempsey and 2.3 for Hb Yakima at pH 7.0. The cooperativities of these mutant hemoglobins were pH-dependent, and Hb Kempsey showed high cooperativity at low pH (n equal 2.1 at pH 6.6) and low cooperativity at high pH (n equal 1.0 at pH 8.0). Hb Yakima showed similar pH dependence in cooperativity. In the presence of inositol hexaphosphate, Hb A showed a pH-dependent cooperativity different from those of Hb Yakima and Hb Kempsey, namely, Hill's n was the highest in alkaline pH (n equal 3.0 at pH 8.0) and decreased at lower pH (n equal 1.5 at pH 6.5). 2,3Diphosphoglycerate bound with the deoxygenated Hb Yakima and Hb Kempsey, however, had no effect on the oxygen binding of these abnormal hemoglobin. The pH-dependent cooperativity of alpha1beta2 contact anomalous hemoglobin and normal hemoglobin was explained by the shifts in the equilibrium between the high and low ligand affinity forms. 相似文献

We have performed high-precision oxygen binding studies on human hemoglobin tetramers in the presence of a series of limited, subsaturating amounts of the effector compounds 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) and inositol hexaphosphate (IHP). The use of thin-layer optical methods enabled the use of high hemoglobin concentrations, preventing complications arising from the dissociation of the tetramer into dimers. Model-independent, simultaneous analysis of all data for each effector demonstrated that the intrinsic oxygen binding characteristics of the molecule are in agreement with those determined in earlier high-precision studies [e.g., Gill, S. J., Di Cera, E., Doyle, M. L., Bishop, G. A., & Robert, C. H. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 3995-4002] and that the affinity of the tetramer for the tightly binding effector IHP changes most markedly between the second and fourth oxygen binding steps, perhaps indicating a large conformational change. The data were then analyzed by using the truncated allosteric model [Di Cera, E., Robert, C. H., & Gill, S. J. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 4003-4008], which is based on the hypothesis that a quaternary conformational change occurs in the hemoglobin tetramer before the third and fourth oxygen molecules bind. 相似文献

Hemoglobin Leiden is an abnormal human hemoglobin in which a glutamic acid residue has been deleted from the β-chain at position 6 or 7. The α-amino groups of the β-chain N-termini in tetrameric hemoglobin A are thought to be directly involved in the binding of simple anions and organic phosphates (1). The deletion of the 4th or 5th residue of the A helix in hemoglobin Leiden shortens the N-terminus of the β-chain, and the results reported here show that the anion binding site has been affected. Hemoglobin Leiden shows a decreased response to inorganic phosphate, chloride, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, and inositol hexaphosphate, both in equilibria and kinetics of ligand binding. Although hemoglobin Leiden shows an altered response to anions, neither the cooperativity of ligand binding nor the Bohr effect are significantly altered by the deletion. The decreased effect of cofactors seems to be due to a decrease in the strength of anion binding which may be attributed to the altered geometry of the anion binding site. 相似文献

Involvement of Glu G3(101)beta in the function of hemoglobin. Comparative O2 equilibrium studies of human mutant hemoglobins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The glutamyl residue at G3(101)beta of normal hemoglobin (Hb A) is one of the alpha 1 beta 2 subunit contacts which are vital to O2 binding properties of the molecule. The O2 equilibrium properties of the four mutants with different substitutions at this site are studied in order to elucidate the role of this residue. Under stripped conditions with minimum chloride the order of O2 affinity is: Hb A (Glu) much less than Hb Rush (Gln) less than or equal to Hb British Columbia (Lys) less than or equal to Hb Potomac (Asp) less than or equal to Hb Alberta (Gly). The first Adair constants, K1, for the mutant hemoglobins are greater than that for Hb A whereas the fourth, K4, are similar, indicating that the allosteric constants (L) of these mutants are greatly reduced. Therefore, the G3(101)beta residue contributes intrinsically to the strengthening of the structural constraints that are imposed upon the deoxy (T) forms but not the oxy (R) form. On addition of 0.1 M Cl- and further addition of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate or inositol hexaphosphate, their O2 affinities and cooperativities are altered, reflecting different responses to anionic ligands. Hb Rush exhibits a stronger chloride effect than Hb A and the other variants and, as a result, an increased Bohr effect and a smaller heat of oxygenation at pH 6.5. These changes are consistent with an increased positive net charge in the central cavity of Hb Rush and subsequent extra anion binding in the deoxy form. The tetramer to dimer dissociation constants are estimated to be greater than normal for Hb British Columbia and less than normal for Hb Alberta. This comparative study of the G3(101)beta mutants indicates that the size and the charge of this residue may influence the switching of two neighboring interchain hydrogen bonds that occurs during oxygenation of normal hemoglobin. 相似文献

An allosteric modulator of oxygen release in human erythrocytes is 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, but bovine erythrocytes apparently utilize chloride for this purpose since they contain little, if any, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. In order to identify the sites to which these anions bind, the site-specific acetylating agent, methyl acetyl phosphate, has been employed to compete with these allosteric modulators and to mimic their effects on hemoglobin function. With human hemoglobin A, methyl acetyl phosphate competes with 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and acetylates only Val-1(beta), Lys-82(beta), and Lys-144(beta) within or near the cleft that binds this organic phosphate (Ueno, H., Pospischil, M. A., Manning, J. M., and Kluger, R. (1986) Arch Biochem. Biophys. 244, 795). With bovine hemoglobin, the acetylation is competitive with chloride ion. The sites of acetylation in oxy bovine hemoglobin are Met-1(beta) and Lys-81(beta) and for deoxy bovine hemoglobin, they are Val-1(alpha) and Lys-81(beta). Thus, these sites are expected to be involved in the binding of chloride to bovine hemoglobin. Treatment of either human or bovine hemoglobins with methyl acetyl phosphate under anaerobic conditions leads to a lowering of their oxygen affinity and hence the covalent modifier has the same effect on hemoglobin function as the non-covalent regulators, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and chloride. The Hill's coefficient of hemoglobin is unaffected by treatment with methyl acetyl phosphate. Under aerobic conditions, specifically acetylated bovine hemoglobin also has a lowered oxygen affinity, and human hemoglobin A shows a slight change in its oxygen affinity. In general, bovine hemoglobin is more responsive than human hemoglobin to both chloride and methyl acetyl phosphate; the latter agent results in a permanent covalent labeling of the protein. Therefore, the results support the idea that methyl acetyl phosphate may be a useful probe for deciphering the sites of binding of anions to proteins. 相似文献
