| + | BACKGROUND: Guinea pigs are considered to be genetically adapted to a high altitude environment based on the consistent finding of a high oxygen affinity of their blood. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The crystal structure of guinea pig hemoglobin at 1.8 A resolution suggests that the increased oxygen affinity of guinea pig hemoglobin can be explained by two factors, namely a decreased stability of the T-state and an increased stability of the R2-state. The destabilization of the T-state can be related to the substitution of a highly conserved proline (P44) to histidine (H44) in the alpha-subunit, which causes a steric hindrance with H97 of the beta-subunit in the switch region. The stabilization of the R2-state is caused by two additional salt bridges at the beta1/beta2 interface. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Both factors together are supposed to serve to shift the equilibrium between the conformational states towards the high affinity relaxed states resulting in an increased oxygen affinity. | ||
