Hemoglobin & Myoglobin & Collagen
2
Heme proteins Supply of oxygen Myoglobin Oxidative metabolism
Monomeric protein of red muscle Stores oxygen
3
Hemoglobin O2 transport Tetrameric Cooperative interactions
4
Normal Hemoglobins Hb A (α2β2) Hb F (α2γ2)
Major normal adult hemoglobin Comprising about 97% of the total Hb F (α2γ2) Major hemoglobin of the fetus Increased oxygen affinity Lower affinity for 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG)
5
Embryonic Hemoglobins
Hb A2 (α2δ2) % of normal adult Increased Hb A2 β-thalassemias Embryonic Hemoglobins Hb Gower-1 (ζ2ε2) HbPortland (ζ2γ2) Hb Gower-2 (α2ε2)
6
Developmental pattern of the quaternary
structure of fetal and newborn hemoglobins
7
Heme & ferrous iron Fe2+ linked to all four nitrogen atoms of the heme, to histidine F8, and, in oxyMb & oxyHb, also to O2
8
Heme
9
Myoglobin O2 storage Rich in α Helix 153-aminoacyl residue MW 17,000
75% in eight right-handed Helices A–H Surface of myoglobin is polar Interior contains only nonpolar Leu, Val, Phe,
10
A model of myoglobin
11
Myoglobin Histidines F8 & E7
Roles in Oxygen binding Proximal histidine, His F8 The fifth coordination position of the iron O2 occupies the sixth coordination position
13
Hemoglobin Tetrameric the α polypeptide
α2β2 (HbA) α2γ2 (HbF) α2S2 (HbS) α2δ2 (HbA2) the α polypeptide Seven helical regions bind four molecules of O2 per tetramer
14
Cooperative binding A molecule of O2 binds to a hemoglobin tetramer more readily if other O2 molecules are already bound
15
P50 expresses the relative affinities of different hemoglobins for oxygen The partial pressure of O2 that half-saturates Hb P50 for HbA and fetal HbF 26 and 20 mm Hg HbF,High affinity for O2
16
On oxygenation of hemoglobin, the iron, histidine F8, and linked residues move toward the heme ring.
17
The iron atom moves into the plane of
the heme on oxygenation. Histidine F8 and its associated residues are pulled along with the iron atom.
18
rupture of salt bridges T (taut) state to the R (relaxed) state
Oxygenation of hemoglobin is accompanied by large conformational changes binding of the first O2 Iron motion rupture of salt bridges T (taut) state to the R (relaxed) state Low affinity and high-affinity conformations
20
The transition between the two structures is influenced by protons, carbon dioxide, chloride, and BPG; the higher their concentration, the more oxygen must be bound to trigger the transition.
21
After releasing O2 at the tissues, hemoglobin transports CO2 & protons to the lungs
CO2 as carbamates 15% of the CO2 in venous blood Remaining
22
One proton for every two O2 molecules released
In the lungs, as O2 binds to deoxyhemoglobin, protons are released and combine with bicarbonate to form carbonic acid.
23
Bohr effect O2 Binds Reciprocal coupling of proton and O2 binding
Rupture of Salt Bonds Proton release
24
The Bohr effect
25
Increase in proton concentration Increase in PO2
R state Oxygenated breaks salt bridges Release of O2 the T structure Salt bridges re-form Increase in proton concentration Enhances the release of O2 Increase in PO2 Promotes proton release
26
2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)
Stabilizes the T Structure of Hemoglobin deoxyhemoglobin Low PO2 Promotes the synthesis Forming additional salt bridge
27
Mode of binding of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate to human deoxyhemoglobin
Mode of binding of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate to human deoxyhemoglobin. BPG interacts with three positively charged groups on each β chain.
28
Adaptation to High Altitude
Increase in Number of erythrocytes Concentrations of hemoglobin BPG
29
Myoglobinuria Massive crush injury Myocardial infarction
Urine dark red Myocardial infarction
30
Anemias Reductions in Number of red blood cells Hemoglobin
Folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency Hemoglobin Iron deficiency
31
Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
ε-amino group of lysine residues Amino terminals Normal,about 5% Proportionate to blood glucose concentration Reflects the mean blood glucose concentration over the preceding 6–8 weeks For management of diabetes mellitus
33
Numerous mutant human hemoglobins have been identified
Hemoglobinopathies & Thalassemias
44
Collagen a Fibrous Protein the most abundant of the fibrous proteins
25% of the protein mass in body Strength & flexibility of skin Collagen & keratin fibers Bones & teeth elongated proteins repetitive amino acid sequences regular secondary structure
45
Collagen Primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of collagen
46
Collagen Rich in proline & hydroxyproline repetitive Gly-X-Y pattern
Y generally is proline or hydroxyproline
47
Collagen maturation Collagen Is Synthesized as a Larger Precursor
Procollagen Prolyl hydroxylase Lysyl hydroxylase
48
Collagen Collagen triple helices are stabilized by Hydrogen bonds
Residues in different polypeptide chains. Hydroxyprolyl & hydroxylysyl Covalent cross-links between Modified lysyl residues both within and between polypeptide chains.
49
Hydroxylysyl residues
Glucosyl or galactosyl residues Removal of the globular amino terminal & carboxyl terminal Cross-link Certain lysyl residues are modified Lysyl oxidase Copper-containing ε-amino groups to aldehydes aldol condensation C=C double bond C-N bond Strength & rigidity
50
Order and location of processing of the fibrillar collagen precursor
51
Disorders of collagen maturation
Nutritional Scurvy Deficiency of vitamin C Prolyl & lysyl hydroxylases Bleeding gums, swelling joints, poor wound healing Copper Deficiency Lysyl oxidase
52
Disorders of collagen maturation
