چکیده

Hemoglobins (Hb) Yakima and Kempsey were purified from patients' blood with diethylaminoethyl cellulose column chromatography. The oxygen equilibrium curves of the two hemoglobins and the effects of organic phosphates on the function were investigated. In 0.1 M phosphate buffer, Hill's constants n for Hb Yakima and Hb Kempsey were 1.0 to 1.1 at the pH range for 6.5 to 8.0 and the oxygen affinities of both the mutant hemoglobins were about 15 to 20 times that of Hb A at pH 7.0. The Bohr effect was normal in Hb Yakima and one-fourth normal in Hb Kempsey. In the presence of inositol hexaphosphate, the oxygen affinities to Hb Yakima and Hb Kempsey were greatly decreased, and an interesting result revealed that these hemoglobins showed clear cooperativity in oxygen binding. Hill's constant n in the presence of inositol hexaphosphate was 1.9 for Hb Kempsey and 2.3 for Hb Yakima at pH 7.0. The cooperativities of these mutant hemoglobins were pH-dependent, and Hb Kempsey showed high cooperativity at low pH (n equal 2.1 at pH 6.6) and low cooperativity at high pH (n equal 1.0 at pH 8.0). Hb Yakima showed similar pH dependence in cooperativity. In the presence of inositol hexaphosphate, Hb A showed a pH-dependent cooperativity different from those of Hb Yakima and Hb Kempsey, namely, Hill's n was the highest in alkaline pH (n equal 3.0 at pH 8.0) and decreased at lower pH (n equal 1.5 at pH 6.5). 2,3Diphosphoglycerate bound with the deoxygenated Hb Yakima and Hb Kempsey, however, had no effect on the oxygen binding of these abnormal hemoglobin. The pH-dependent cooperativity of alpha1beta2 contact anomalous hemoglobin and normal hemoglobin was explained by the shifts in the equilibrium between the high and low ligand affinity forms.

Erythrocytosis secondary to increased oxygen affinity of a mutant hemoglobin, hemoglobin Kempsey.

\TO CLASSES of amino acid substitutions in hemoglobins have profound effects on the major function of this protein, oxygen transport. The first includes the hemoglobins M’ and hemoglobin Kansas,2 which result in cyanoSis in heterozygous subjects and no significant erythrocytosis. The second class, represented by hemoglobin Chesapeake3 and hemoglobin Yakima,4 is assocated with erythrocytosis in ...

Magnesium(II) and zinc(II)-protoporphyrin IX's stabilize the lowest oxygen affinity state of human hemoglobin even more strongly than deoxyheme.

Studies of oxygen equilibrium properties of Mg(II)-Fe(II) and Zn(II)-Fe(II) hybrid hemoglobins (i.e. alpha2(Fe)beta2(M) and alpha2(M)beta2(Fe); M=Mg(II), Zn(II) (neither of these closed-shell metal ions binds oxygen or carbon monoxide)) are reported along with the X-ray crystal structures of alpha2(Fe)beta2(Mg) with and without CO bound. We found that Mg(II)-Fe(II) hybrids resemble Zn(II)-Fe(II...

Hemoglobin Yakina. I. Clinical and biochemical studies.

Three members of a family who have erythrocytosis and a new hemoglobin, designated hemoglobin Yakima, are described. The abnormal hemoglobin is characterized by the substitution of histidine for aspartic acid at residue 99 in the beta-chain. Of three possible structure-function relations which would account for the increased oxygen affinity of hemoglobin Yakima, only two seem likely. These are:...

Geminate recombination of CO in rabbit, opossum, and adult hemoglobins.

The geminate recombination of CO with Hb following dissociation by a 10-ns laser pulse has been studied as a function of pH (9.2 and 7.0 without inositol hexaphosphate and 6.0 with inositol hexaphosphate) and temperature (5-35 degrees C). The hemoglobins studied included adult, Rothschild, rabbit, opossum, and carp. Despite significant differences in their structural and functional properties, ...

Comparative Study of Oxygen and Carbon Monoxide Binding

A spin label is attached covalently to a propionic acid group of the heme in either the a or B subunits of hemoglobin. Hemoglobins, so chemically modified, show functional properties similar to those of native hemoglobins. Since electron paramagnetic resonance is sensitive to the ligation state of hemoglobin, electron paramagnetic resonance changes have been used to “follow” the sequence of lig...
