N-terminal contributions of the gamma-subunit of fetal hemoglobin to its tetramer strength: remote effects at subunit contacts.
The greatly increased tetramer strength of liganded fetal hemoglobin compared with adult hemoglobin is shown by its 70-fold smaller tetramer-dimer dissociation constant. This property has been shown previously to be only partially caused by the 5-amino-acid differences at both types of interfaces in each hemoglobin. A major contributor to tetramer strengthening is the 18-amino-acid N-terminal A...
متن کاملAdult Hemoglobins Are Synthesized in Murine Fetal Hepatic
D URING NORMAL MURINE embryogenesis, erythropoiesis first occurs in the yolk sac blood islands, beginning on days 7-8 of gestation.’ These nucleated erythrocytes primarily synthesize embryonic hemoglobins El (x2y2), Eli (a2y2), and Elil (a2z,).2 5 By day I I of gestation, the fetal liven becomes the major site of red blood cell production, which persists until near birth.6 It has been generally...
متن کاملDevelopmental expression of human hemoglobins mediated by maturation of their subunit interfaces.
Different types of human hemoglobins (Hbs) consisting of various combinations of the embryonic, fetal, and adult Hb subunits are present at certain times during development representing a major paradigm of developmental biology that is still not understood and one which we address here. We show that the subunit interfaces of these Hbs have increasing bonding strengths as demonstrated by their d...
متن کاملAggregation of adult and fetal hemoglobin by ingested nitrate anions
The ingested nitrates sourced from tap water, food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals areconverted to nitrites in the body surfaces by bacteria and then, the nitrite ions can lead thestructural changing in hemoglobin. In the present work, aggregation of the purified hemoglobinin adult (HbA) and in fetus or newborn (HbF) in the presence of nitrite ions were studied.Hemoglobin aggregation was perform...
