چکیده
Hemoglobin Crete, 1 29 (H7) ala -k pro, is #{149} new mutant hemoglobin (Hb) with high oxygen affinity that was discovered in a Greek family in various combinations with #{176}and #{244} ’-thaIassemia. The propositus. who presented an unusual clinical picture of an “overcompenseted” hemolytic state. with erythrocytosis. splenomegaly. abnormal red cell morphology, and marked erythroid hyperplasia. appeared doubly heterozygous for Hb Crete and 8#{176}-thalassemia. His red cells contained 87% Hb Crete and 30% Hb F, and the combination of these two hemoglobins resulted in a blood P o2 of 11.2 mm Hg. A brother with Hb Crete trait (38% Hb Crete, 56% Hb A. blood Pee02 23.0 mm Hg) did not have significant erythrocytosis. Purified Hb Crete was heat-unstable and exhibited a high oxygen affinity, moderately decreased cooperativity, and a normal Bohr effect. We postulate that the 1 29 proline substitution disrupts the H helix, perturbing nearby residues involved in a1 , contact sites of the Hb tetramer.

Structural and Functional Characterization of a New Double Variant Haemoglobin (HbG-Philadelphia/Duarte α268Asn→Lysβ262Ala→Pro)
WE REPORT THE FIRST CASE OF COSEGREGATION OF TWO HAEMOGLOBINS (HBS): HbG-Philadelphia [α68(E17)Asn → Lys] and HbDuarte [β62(E6)Ala → Pro]. The proband is a young patient heterozygous also for β°-thalassaemia. We detected exclusively two haemoglobin variants: HbDuarte and HbG-Philadelphia/Duarte. Functional study of the new double variant HbG-Philadelphia/Duarte exhibited an increase in oxygen a...
متن کاملA case of Hemoglobin Beckman; An example of hemoglobin variants interfering with HbA1c measurement
Aim: It has been known for a long time that the presence of clinically silent hemoglobin (Hb) variants in blood samples could influence the measurement of glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) since these abnormal hemoglobins might interfere with some methodologies. In the present study we describe the first case of Hb Beckman in Turkey. Material and Methods: The variant was detected during the HbA1c measure...
متن کاملA novel dipeptidyl peptidase II from the porcine ovary. Purification and characterization of a lysosomal serine protease showing enhanced specificity for prolyl bonds.
A variant form of dipeptidyl peptidase II (DPP II), initially reported under the name of "DPP V" (Eisenhauer, D. A., and McDonald, J. K. (1982) Fed. Proc. 41, 507), was detected in aqueous extracts of porcine ovaries on the basis of a markedly enhanced action on prolyl bonds. This porcine form of DPP II, which was most sensitively assayed on Phe-Pro-2-naphthylamide (Phe-Pro-NNap), was purified ...
متن کاملHemoglobin D Iran a in Association With Thalassemia
A 25-yr-old Indian (Asiatic) woman investigated for a life-long anemia was found to have a hitherto undescribed structural hemoglobin variant gIn which was found independently and designated Hb D Iran by Rahbar in members of a family from Iran. In the present case, Hb D Iran was found in association with high A2 thalassemia. The replacement of glutamic acid by glutamine at fi 22 (helical residu...
متن کاملEstimation of binding constants between ristocetin and teicoplanin and peptides using on-column ligand derivatization coupled to affinity capillary electrophoresis.
This work utilizes on-column ligand synthesis and affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) to determine binding constants ( K(b)) of 9-flourenylmethyloxy carbonyl (Fmoc)-amino acid derivatives to the glycopeptide antibiotics ristocetin (Rist) and teicoplanin (Teic). In this technique, two separate plugs of sample are injected on to the capillary column and electrophoresed. The initial sample pl...
