CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THRE11VAL MUTANT OF THE NERVE TISSUE MINI-HEMOGLOBIN FROM THE NEMERTEAN WORM CEREBRATULUS LACTEUS
|
OverviewOverview
The mini-hemoglobin from Cerebratulus lacteus (CerHb) belongs to a class, of globins containing the polar Tyr-B10/Gln-E7 amino acid pair that, normally causes low rates of O2 dissociation and ultra-high O2 affinity, which suggest O2 sensing or NO scavenging functions. CerHb, however, has, high rates of O2 dissociation (kO2 = 200-600 s(-1)) and moderate O2, affinity (KO2) approximately 1 microm(-1)) as a result of a third polar, amino acid in its active site, Thr-E11. When Thr-E11 is replaced by Val, kO2 decreases 1000-fold and KO2 increases 130-fold at pH 7.0, 20 degrees, C. The mutation also shifts the stretching frequencies of both heme-bound, and photodissociated CO, indicating marked changes of the electrostatic, field at the active site. The crystal structure of Thr-E11 --> Val ... [(full description)]
