Intrinsic regulation of hemoglobin expression by variable subunit interface strengths

Abstract: SUMMARY The expression of the six types of human hemoglobin subunits over time is currently considered to be regulated mainly by transcription factors that bind to upstream control regions of the gene (the “extrinsic” component of regulation). Here we describe how subunit pairing and further assembly to tetramers in the liganded state is influenced by the affinity of subunits for one another (the “intrinsic” component of regulation). The adult hemoglobin dimers have the strongest subunit interfaces and the emb… Show more

“…Acetylation of ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 8B (ARL8B) by NatC targets the protein to the lysosomal membrane (Starheim et al 2009 ). Aberrant N-terminal acetylation of hemoglobin can cause clinical diseases related to resulting abnormal oxygenbinding capacity of the holoprotein (Starheim et al 2009 ;Manning et al 2012 ).…”

“…During gestation, a sequential activation of genes responsible for the production of globin chains occurs, leading to the formation of different types of embryonic and fetal Hb that differ from each other according to their constitutive chains (66). These newly synthesized chains are capable of binding to heme and iron, forming the Hb molecule.…”

“…The transition of Hb from embryonic protein isoforms, known as fetal Hb, to adult isoforms is typically assayed by gel electrophoresis (31)(32)(33). Fetal Hb binds oxygen with greater affinity than does adult Hb, which allows the former to compete effectively for oxygen with adult Hb in the placental blood.…”
