Sulfide binding properties of truncated hemoglobins

Biochemistry
Francesco P NicolettiAlberto Boffi

Abstract

The truncated hemoglobins from Bacillus subtilis (Bs-trHb) and Thermobifida fusca (Tf-trHb) have been shown to form high-affinity complexes with hydrogen sulfide in their ferric state. The recombinant proteins, as extracted from Escherichia coli cells after overexpression, are indeed partially saturated with sulfide, and even highly purified samples still contain a small but significant amount of iron-bound sulfide. Thus, a complete thermodynamic and kinetic study has been undertaken by means of equilibrium and kinetic displacement experiments to assess the relevant sulfide binding parameters. The body of experimental data indicates that both proteins possess a high affinity for hydrogen sulfide (K = 5.0 x 10(6) and 2.8 x 10(6) M(-1) for Bs-trHb and Tf-trHb, respectively, at pH 7.0), though lower with respect to that reported previously for the sulfide avid Lucina pectinata I hemoglobins (2.9 x 10(8) M(-1)). From the kinetic point of view, the overall high affinity resides in the slow rate of sulfide release, attributed to hydrogen bonding stabilization of the bound ligand by distal residue WG8. A set of point mutants in which these residues have been replaced with Phe indicates that the WG8 residue represents the major kinetic...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.
