Modeling truncated hemoglobin vibrational dynamics.
We present a study on the near equilibrium dynamics of two small proteins in the family of truncated hemoglobins, developed under the framework of a Gaussian network approach. Effective beta carbon atoms are taken into account besides Calphas for all residues but glycines in the coarse-graining procedure, without leading to an increase in the degrees of freedom (beta Gaussian Model). Normalized...
متن کاملTruncated hemoglobin HbN protects Mycobacterium bovis from nitric oxide.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of human tuberculosis, and Mycobacterium bovis each express two genes, glbN and glbO, encoding distantly related truncated hemoglobins (trHbs), trHbN and trHbO, respectively. Here we report that disruption of M. bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin glbN caused a dramatic reduction in the NO-consuming activity of stationary phase cells, and that activity...
متن کاملThe Truncated Oxygen-avid Hemoglobin from Bacillus subtilis
The group II truncated hemoglobin from Bacillus subtilis has been cloned, expressed, purified, and characterized. B. subtilis truncated hemoglobin is a monomeric protein endowed with an unusually high oxygen affinity (in the nanomolar range) such that the apparent thermodynamic binding constant for O2 exceeds that for CO by 1 order of magnitude. The kinetic basis of the high oxygen affinity res...
متن کاملCrystal structure of Group I truncated hemoglobin from Tetrahymena pyriformis
Introduction A wide diversity in both structure and function has been discovered in the study of hemoglobins (Hbs) from many species. Hemoglobins play oxygen transport in red blood cells in higher organisms. Even though oxygen molecule can diffuse into the cell, unicellular organisms also have hemoglobin-like molecules [1]. Truncated hemoglobins (trHbs) are distributed from bacteria to unicellu...
متن کاملCharacterization of the truncated hemoglobin THB1 from protein
Truncated hemoglobins (TrHbs) belong to the hemoglobin superfamily, but unlike their distant vertebrate relatives, little is known about their principal physiologic functions. Several TrHbs have been studied using in vitro engineered recombinant peptides. These efforts have resulted in a wealth of knowledge about the chemical properties of TrHbs and have generated interesting functional lea...
