Kinetics and Mechanism of Complex Formation between Hemoglobin and Haptoglobin*
نویسنده
چکیده
The interaction between human hemoglobin and haptoglobin has been followed by measuring the quenching of haptoglobin fluorescence associated with complex formation. The effects of varying the concentration of the reactants suggest that hemoglobin tetramers do not react with haptoglobin, but that hemoglobin subunits are involved. Separated a! chains of hemoglobin react with haptoglobin; although separated /3 chains do not do so, they react rapidly with a previously incubated mixture of haptoglobin and Q! chains. It is suggested that the haptoglobin site binds a! chains specifically, and that the normal reaction between hemoglobin and haptoglobin proceeds either by consecutive binding of (Y and /3 monomers or by attachment of o$? dimers through the a! chain. The rate of the reaction is markedly dependent on conditions: the observed second order constant may reach 4 x lo8 ~-1 set+, and the true value is probably Q: 7 x lo6 M-I se@.

Heterotropic Effect of β-lactam Antibiotics on Antioxidant Property of Haptoglobin) 2-2(-Hemoglobin Complex
Haptoglobin (Hp) is a mammalian serum glycoprotein showing a genetic polymorphism with three types, 1-1, 2-2 and 1-2. Hp appears to conserve the recycling of heme-iron by forming an essentially irreversible but non-covalent complex with hemoglobin which is released into the plasma by erythrocyte lysis. As an important consequence, Haptoglobin-Hemoglobin complex (Hp-Hb) shows considerable antiox...

متن کاملInteraction of human hemoglobin with haptoglobin or antihemoglobin antibody.
The physicochemical and biochemical properties of hemoglobin associated with haptoglobin were compared with those of hemoglobin bour,d by antihemoglobin antibody. The mechanism of enhanced peroxidase activity of hemoglobin bound by haptoglobin was concluded not to be activation but stabilization of hemoglobin at acidic pH by haptoglobin. Haptoglobin protects hemoglobin from denaturation by acid...
