Abstract: | The globin derived from the monomer Component IV hemoglobin of the marine annelid,Glycera dibranchiata, has been completely sequenced, and the resulting information has been used to create a structural model of the protein. The most important result is that the consensus sequence of Component IV differs by 3 amino acids from a cDNA-predicted amino acid sequence thought earlier to encode the Component IV hemoglobin. This work reveals that the histidine (E7), typical of most heme-containing globins, is replaced by leucine in Component IV. Also significant is that this sequence is not identical to any of the previously reportedGlycera dibranchiata monomer hemoglobin sequences, including the sequence from a previously reported crystal structure, but has high identity to all. A three-dimensional structual model for monomer Component IV hemoglobin was constructed using the published 1.5 å crystal structure of a monomer hemoglobin fromGlycera dibranchiata as a template. The model shows several interesting features: (1) a Phe31 (B10) that is positioned in the active site; (2) a His39 occurs in an interhelical region occupied by Pro in 98.2% of reported globin sequences; and (3) a Met41 is found at a position that emerges from this work as a previously unrecognized heme contact.Abbreviations used GMHX
