Abstract：
:Oxygen binding by Octopus dofleini hemocyanin was examined under very nearly physiological conditions. The effects of pH, ionic composition, temperature, and aggregation were controlled so that the role each plays in modulating oxygen binding can be isolated. There is a very large effect of pH on affinity, the Bohr effect (delta log P50/delta pH = -1.7), which is the same at 10 and 20 degrees C. However, cooperativity is substantially altered over the same range of pHs at the two temperatures. The allosteric properties were examined by comparing the experimental data points to curves generated by use of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux model. A computer-fitting process was developed which allowed the individual allosteric parameters to be varied independently until the best fit could be determined. The relationship between kR and kT is responsible for the effect of pH on cooperativity. A change in the allosteric properties of the T form is primarily responsible for the differences due to temperature. Changing cation concentrations when the molecule is in the fully aggregated 51S form alters affinity without influencing cooperativity. The effect of Mg2+ is much greater than that of Na+. If the 51S decamer is dissociated to 11S monomers by removing divalent cations, oxygen binding is noncooperative. There is evidence for negative cooperativity, indicating heterogeneity of function within the subunit which contains seven oxygen binding domains. Association into decamers generates conformational change which results in a much wider range of allosteric function.
