Abstract:
:Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of human hemoglobins in water reveal several exchangeable protons which are indicators of the quaternary structures of both the liganded and unliganded molecules. A comparison of the spectra of normal human adult hemoglobin with those of mutant hemoglobins Chesapeake (FG4alpha92 Arg yields Leu), Titusville (G1alpha94 Asp yields Asn), M Milwaukee (E11beta67 Val yields Glu), Malmo (FG4beta97 His yields Gln), Kempsey (G1beta99 Asp yields Asn), Yakima (G1beta99 Asp yields His), and New York (G15beta113 Val yields Glu), as well as with those of chemically modified hemoglobins Des-Arg(alpha141), Des-His(beta146), NES (on Cys-beta93)-Des-Arg(alpha141), and spin-labeled hemoglobin [Cys-beta93 reacted with N-(1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)iodoacetamide], suggests that the proton in the important hydrogen bond between the tyrosine at C7alpha42 and the aspartic acid at G1beta99, which anchors the alpha1beta2 subunits of deoxyhemoglobin (a characteristic feature of the deoxy quaternary structure), is responsible for the resonance at -9.4 ppm from water at 27 degrees. Another exchangeable proton resonance which occurs at -6.4 ppm from H2O is a spectroscopic indicator of the deoxy structure. A resonance at -5.8 ppm from H2O, which is an indicator of the oxy conformation, is believed to originate from the hydrogen bond between the aspartic acid at G1alpha94 and the asparagine at G4beta102 in the alpha1beta2 subunit interface (a characteristic feature of the oxy quaternary structure). In the spectrum of methemoglobin at pH 6.2 both the -6.4- and the -5.8ppm resonances are present but not the -9.4-ppm resonance. Upon the addition of inositol hexaphosphate to methemoglobin at pH 6.2, the usual resonance at -9.4 ppm is shifted to -10 ppm and the resonance at 6.4 ppm is not observed. In the spectrum of methemoglobin at pH greater than or equal to 7.6 with or without inositol hexaphosphate, the resonance at -5.8 ppm is present, but not those at -10 and -6.4 ppm, suggesting that methemoglobin at high pH has an oxy-like structure. Two resonances (at -8.2 and -7.3 ppm) which remain invariant in the two quaternary structures could come from exchangeable protons in the alpha1beta1 subunit interface and/or other exchangeable protons in the hemoglobin molecule which undergo no conformational changes during the oxygenation process. These exchangeable proton resonances serve as excellent spectroscopic probes of the quaternary structures of the subunit interfaces in studies of the molecular mechanism of cooperative ligand binding to hemoglobin.
