Ligand binding properties of myoglobin reconstituted with iron porphycene: unusual O2 binding selectivity against CO binding.
Sperm whale myoglobin, an oxygen storage hemoprotein, was successfully reconstituted with the iron porphycene having two propionates, 2,7-diethyl-3,6,12,17-tetramethyl-13,16-bis(carboxyethyl)porphycenatoiron. The physicochemical properties and ligand bindings of the reconstituted myoglobin were investigated. The ferric reconstituted myoglobin shows the remarkable stability against acid denatura...
متن کاملMyoglobin expression: early induction and subsequent modulation of myoglobin and myoglobin mRNA during myogenesis.
We showed that myoglobin gene transcription and the appearance of myoglobin occur very early in myogenesis, in both humans and mice. In contrast to the contractile protein genes, there is a subsequent increase of 50- to 100-fold in myoglobin mRNA and protein levels during later muscle development. Myoglobin and myoglobin mRNA are present at elevated levels in fetal heart and are also detectable...
متن کاملOntogenetic changes in skeletal muscle fiber type, fiber diameter and myoglobin concentration in the Northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris)
Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) (NES) are known to be deep, long-duration divers and to sustain long-repeated patterns of breath-hold, or apnea. Some phocid dives remain within the bounds of aerobic metabolism, accompanied by physiological responses inducing lung compression, bradycardia, and peripheral vasoconstriction. Current data suggest an absence of type IIb fibers in pi...
متن کاملUnusual pressure effects on ligand rebinding to the human myoglobin Leucine 29 mutants.
Using high pressure flash photolysis, we revealed that the side chain of Leu(29) controls the reaction volume of the ligand migration process in myoglobin, which is the primary factor for the unusual activation volume of ligand binding in some Leu(29) mutants. As we previously reported (Adachi, S., Sunohara, N., Ishimori, K., and Morishima, I. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 12614-12621), CO bimolec...
