Myoglobin/Hemoglobin

• First protein structures determined

• Oxygen carriers

• Hemoglobin transport O2 from lungs to tissues

• Myoglobin O2 storage protein

Page 7: Chapter 4 (part 3)   protein 3-d structure- structure function

Mb and Hb subunits structurally similar

•8 alpha-helices•Contain heme group

•Mb monomeric protein•Hb heterotetramer (22)

Heme group

• Heme = Fe++ bound to tertapyrrole ring (protoporphyrin IX complex)

• Heme non-covalently bound to globin proteins through His residue

• O2 binds non-covalently to heme Fe++, stabilized through H-bonding with another His residue

• Heme group in hydrophobic crevice of globin protein

Page 9: Chapter 4 (part 3)   protein 3-d structure- structure function

Oxygen Binding Curves•Mb has hyberbolic O2 binding curve

•Mb binds O2

tightly. Releases at very low pO2

•Hb has sigmoidal O2 binding curve

•Hb high affinity for O2 at high pO2

(lungs)

•Hb low affinity for O2 at low pO2

(tissues)

O2 Binding to Hb shows positive cooperativity

• Hb binds four O2 molecules

• O2 affinity increases as each O2 molecule binds

• Increased affinity due to conformation change

• Deoxygenated form = T (tense) form = low affinity

• Oxygenated form = R (relaxed) form = high affinity

Allosteric Interactions

• Allosteric interaction occur when specific molecules bind a protein and modulates activity

• Allosteric modulators or allosteric effectors• Bind reversibly to site separate from

functional binding or active site• Modulation of activity occurs through change

in protein conformation

• 2,3 bisphosphoglycerate (BPG), CO2 and protons are allosteric effectors of Hb binding of O2

Page 16: Chapter 4 (part 3)   protein 3-d structure- structure function

Bohr Effect• Increased CO2 leads to decreased pH

CO2 + H2O <-> HCO3- + H+

• At decreased pH several key AA’s protonated, causes Hb to take on T-conformation (low affinty)

• In R-form same AA’s deprotonated, form charge charge interactions with positive groups, stabilize R-conformation (High affinity)

• HCO3- combines with N-terminal alpha-amino group to form carbamate group. --N3H+ + HCO3

- --NHCOO-

• Carbamation stabilizes T-conformation

Page 19: Chapter 4 (part 3)   protein 3-d structure- structure function

Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)• BPG involved

acclimation to high altitude

• Binding of BPG to Hb causes low O2 affinity

• BPG binds in the cavity between beta-Hb subunits

• Stabilizes T-conformation

• Feta Hb (22) has low affinity for BPG, allows fetus to compete for O2 with mother’s Hb (22) in placenta.

Mutations in - or -globin genes can cause disease

state• Sickle cell anemia – E6 to V6

• Causes V6 to bind to hydrophobic pocket in deoxy-Hb

• Polymerizes to form long filaments

• Cause sickling of cells

• Sickle cell trait offers advantage against malaria

• Fragile sickle cells can not support parasite
