HUMAN SERUM ALBUMIN MUTANT R218H COMPLEXED WITH THYROXINE (3,3',5,5'-TETRAIODO-L-THYRONINE) AND MYRISTIC ACID (TETRADECANOIC ACID)
OverviewOverview
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the major protein component of blood plasma, and serves as a transporter for thyroxine and other hydrophobic compounds, such as fatty acids and bilirubin. We report here a structural, characterization of HSA-thyroxine interactions. Using crystallographic, analyses we have identified four binding sites for thyroxine on HSA, distributed in subdomains IIA, IIIA, and IIIB. Mutation of residue R218, within subdomain IIA greatly enhances the affinity for thyroxine and, causes the elevated serum thyroxine levels associated with familial, dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH). Structural analysis of two FDH, mutants of HSA (R218H and R218P) shows that this effect arises because, substitution of R218, which contacts the hormone bound in subdomain IIA, produces ...
