THE 2.7 ANGSTROM CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF DEOXYGENATED HEMOGLOBIN FROM THE SEA LAMPREY (PETROMYZON MARINUS)
Overview
BACKGROUND: The hemoglobins of the sea lamprey are unusual in that, cooperativity and sensitivity to pH arise from an equilibrium between a, high-affinity monomer and a low-affinity oligomer. Although the crystal, structure of the monomeric cyanide derivative has previously been, determined, the manner by which oligomerization acts to lower the oxygen, affinity and confer a strong Bohr effect has, until now, been speculative., RESULTS: We have determined the crystal structure of deoxygenated lamprey, hemoglobin V by molecular replacement to 2.7 A resolution, in a crystal, form with twelve protomers in the asymmetric unit. The subunits are, arranged as six essentially identical dimers, with a novel subunit, interface formed by the E helices and the AB corner using the standard, hemoglobin ... [(full description)]
