Abstract
A strategy of ex situ electrochemical method has been proposed for investigating the chloride effect on hemoglobin (Hb). Unlike the common electrochemical method that measures the chloride effect on Hb in bulk solution (in situ), the effects of chloride anion on Hb were investigated ex situ by adsorptive transfer voltammetry (AdTV) in this work. Gold electrode modified by self-assembled monolayer of 3-mercaptopropanoic acid (AuE/MPA) was prepared and then incubated in a series of Hb solutions containing different concentrations of chloride anion for adsorbing Hb-Cl (AuE/MPA/Hb-Cl). The resulting electrode was then measured in phosphate buffer solution by cyclic voltammetry. The corresponding voltammograms showed obvious promotion of the direct electron transfer of Hb with remarkable increase of peak currents, decrease of peak-to-peak separations, and negative shift of the formal potentials. As complementation, the adsorption behavior of Hb-Cl on AuE/MPA, the structural information of Hb-Cl, and the electrocatalytic ability of AuE/MPA/Hb-Cl toward hydrogen peroxide were investigated by surface plasmon resonance, circular dichroism spectrum, ultraviolet-visible spectrum and amperometry, respectively. The results indicate that the chloride effect resulted in more electroactive sites of Hb on the surface of electrode. Meanwhile, the specific and nonspecific interactions between Hb and chloride anion can be discriminated from the electrochemical parameters obtained by AdTV.

Abstract
The magnetic relaxation dispersion profiles for formate, acetate, and water protons are reported for aqueous solutions of hemoglobin singly and doubly labeled with a nitroxide and mercury(II) ion at cysteines at beta-93. Using two spin labels, one nuclear and one electron spin, a long intramolecular vector is defined between the two beta-93 positions in the protein. The paramagnetic contributions to the observed 1H spin-lattice relaxation rate constant are isolated from the magnetic relaxation dispersion profiles obtained on a dual-magnet apparatus that provides spectral density functions characterizing fluctuations sensed by intermoment dipolar interactions in the time range from the tens of microseconds to approximately 1 ps. Both formate and acetate ions are found to bind specifically within 5 angstroms of the beta-93 spin-label position and the relaxation dispersion has inflection points corresponding to correlation times of 30 ps and 4 ns for both ions. The 4-ns motion is identified with exchange of the anions from the site, whereas the 30-ps correlation time is identified with relative motions of the spin label and the bound anion in the protein environment close to beta-93. The magnetic field dependence of the paramagnetic contributions in both cases is well described by a simple Lorentzian spectral density function; no peaks in the spectral density function are observed. Therefore, the high frequency motions of the protein monitored by the intramolecular vector defined by the electron and nuclear spin are well characterized by a stationary random function of time. Attempts to examine long vector fluctuations by employing electron spin and nuclear spin double-labeling techniques did not yield unambiguous characterization of the high frequency motions of the vector between beta-93 positions on different chains.

Abstract
The interaction of thiocyanate with human native and cross-linked oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb), and methemoglobin (metHb) has been investigated by optical spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) and nuclear spin lattice relaxation rate measurements. The interaction of thiocyanate anion with human hemoglobin has been investigated by NMR measurements of the nuclear spin lattice relaxation rate of N(15) labeled thiocyanate in the presence of cyanomethemoglobin and cross-linked cyanomethemoglobin. Results show that thiocyanate is located approximately 8.9 and 6.2 A away from the heme group in cyanomethemoglobin and cross-linked cyanomethemoblobin, respectively. These results are consistent with the binding of SCN(-) at the lys-alpha-99 in the unmodified hemoglobin. Since this site is blocked in the cross-linked hemoglobin, the binding site is different. Results show that one mole of SCN(-) is binding to one mole of oxyhemoglobin suggesting that binding at the lys-alpha-99 is linked to dissociation of the hemoglobin tetramer into dimers due to its location at the alpha(1)beta(2) interface. Circular dichroism studies show that the interaction of thiocyanate with oxyHb decreases the optical rotation at 240 nm indicating a conformational change of the protein, which influences the electronic transitions of a number of peptide bonds or (and) a few aromatic side chains.

Abstract
The chloride shift is the movement of Cl(-) from the plasma into erythrocytes as blood moves from the arterial to the venous end of systemic capillaries. The traditional explanation for the chloride shift emphasizes the causative roles of the rise in Pco(2) and the exclusive presence of carbonic anhydrase within the red blood cell. The purpose of this article is, first, to reexamine two aspects of the chloride shift that we feel are traditionally underemphasized. They are the role of hemoglobin in causing the chloride shift and the affect of the chloride shift on the acid-base status of the blood. Second, we wish to reconcile more recent work with the traditional understanding of the chloride shift. The chloride shift has never been modeled from the perspective of the Stewart strong ion approach. Similarly, the traditional understanding has generally treated Cl(-) as a passive participant in the chloride shift whose role was simply to replace the lost negative charge of the outward moving HCO-3. More recent work has suggested that the ingoing Cl(-) is important for both O(2) unloading and acid-base balance of the blood. We conclude this article with a model of the chloride shift that uses the Stewart approach and, though harmonious with the traditional understanding, highlights the importance of hemoglobin and Cl(-) in the chloride shift.

Abstract
Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) hemoglobin (Hb) shows a low response to 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), compared to human Hb A0, even though these proteins have the same 2,3-DPG-binding site. In addition, polar bear Hb shows a high response to chloride and an alkaline Bohr effect (deltalog P50/deltapH) that is significantly greater than that of human Hb A0. The difference in sequence Pro (Hb A0)-->Gly (polar bear Hb) at position A2 in the A helix seems to be critical for reduced binding of 2,3-DPG. Our results also show that the A2 position may influence not only the flexibility of the A helix, but that differences in flexibility of the first turn of the A helix may affect the unloading of oxygen for the intrinsic ligand affinities of the alpha and beta chains. However, preferential binding to either chain can only take place if there is appreciable asymmetric binding of the phosphoric effector. Regarding this point, 31P NMR data suggest a loss of symmetry of the 2,3-DPG-binding site in the deoxyHb-2,3-DPG complex.

Abstract
Careful analyses of precise oxygenation curves of hemoglobin (Hb) clearly indicate that, contrary to the common belief, allosteric effectors exert a dramatic control of the oxygenation characteristics of the protein by binding not only to the T (unligated), but also to the R (ligated) state, in a process that is proton-driven and involves proton uptake. The most striking functional changes were obtained when the allosteric effectors were bound to the fully ligated Hb: the oxygen affinity decreased dramatically, Bohr effect was enhanced, and cooperativity of oxygen ligation was almost absent, emulating a Root effect-like behavior. However, structural analysis, such as Cys beta 93 sulfhydryl reactivity and ultraviolet circular dichroism, confirmed that the ligated Hb was in fact in the R state, despite its extremely low affinity state features. These findings provide a new global view for allosteric interactions and invoke for a modern interpretation of the role of allosteric effectors and a reformulation of the Monod-Wyman-Changeaux model for control of allosteric systems, and other complementary models as well.

Abstract
Anionic regulation of hemoglobin (Hb) is of increasing interest for the design of Hb-based oxygen carriers. Even "external" amino-acid substitutions can alter the nature and extent of anionic control. This was shown by evaluation of the anion sensitivities of liganded, R-state, forms of HbA, HbC (beta6 Glu --> Lys) and HbS (beta6 Glu --> Val). The beta6 mutants differ in the anion-sensitivity of their central cavities, alpha1beta2 interfaces, and heme and beta93 Cys environments. The mutant Hbs also exhibit increased anion-dependent oxidation and surface denaturation. Moreover, differential chloride effects on oxygen binding by Hbs C, S compared to HbA occur after R-state stabilization by fluoresceination of beta93 Cys. It is concluded that the "external" substitutions in the mutant Hbs have structural consequences that are propagated to varying extents to other domains as a result of anion binding, and that these anion-dependent changes may underlie mechanisms leading to the observed increase in oxidation propensity and surface denaturation.

Abstract
The PO(2)-dependent binding of chloride to Hb decreases the Cl(-) concentration of the red blood cell (RBC) intracellular fluid in venous blood to approximately 1-3 mmol/l less than that in arterial blood. This change is physiologically important because 1) Cl(-) is a negative heterotropic allosteric effector of Hb that competes for binding sites with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate and CO(2) and decreases oxyhemoglobin affinity in several species; 2) it may help reconcile several longstanding problems with measured values of the Donnan ratios for Cl(-), HCO, and H(+) across the RBC membrane that are used to calculate total CO(2) carriage, ion flux rates, and membrane potentials; 3) it is a factor in the change in the dissociation constant for the combined nonvolatile weak acids of Hb associated with the Haldane effect; and 4) it diminishes the decrease in strong ion difference in the RBC intracellular fluid that would otherwise occur from the chloride shift and prevent the known increase of HCO concentration in that compartment.

Abstract
The redox potentials of hemoglobin and myoglobin and the shapes of their anaerobic oxidation curves are sensitive indicators of globin alterations surrounding the active site. This report documents concentration-dependent effects of anions on the ease of anaerobic oxidation of representative hemoglobins and myoglobins. Hemoglobin (Hb) oxidation curves reflect the cooperative transition from the T state of deoxyHb to the more readily oxidized R-like conformation of metHb. Shifts in the oxidation curves for Hb A(0) as Cl(-) concentrations are increased to 0.2 m at pH 7.1 indicate preferential anion binding to the T state and destabilization of the R-like state of metHb, leading to reduced cooperativity in the oxidation process. A dramatic reversal of trend occurs above 0.2 m Cl(-) as anions bind to lower affinity sites and shift the conformational equilibrium toward the R state. This pattern has been observed for various hemoglobins with a variety of small anions. Steric rather than electronic effects are invoked to explain the fact that no comparable reversal of oxygen affinity is observed under identical conditions. Evidence is presented to show that increases in hydrophilicity in the distal heme pocket can decrease oxygen affinity via steric hindrance effects while increasing the ease of anaerobic oxidation.

Abstract
A HPLC investigation of the reaction of 4-isothiocyanatobenzoic acid and 4-isothiocyanatobenzenesulfonic acid with oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin was carried out. The initial reaction of aromatic isothiocyanato sulfonates and benzoates with either oxy- or deoxyhemoglobin is with the amino termini of the alpha chains followed by a much slower reaction with the amino termini of the beta chains. Both reactions are much faster with deoxyhemoglobin than with oxyhemoglobin. An intermediate reacted only at the termini of the alpha chains with 4-isothiocyanatobenzoic acid was isolated and purified and its functional properties determined. The intermediate showed a reduced oxygen affinity over a wide pH range and a reduced alkaline Bohr effect in the absence of chloride. The oxygen affinity of the intermediate showed a reduced but still significant response to chloride.

Abstract
Using our Escherichia coli expression system, we have produced five mutant recombinant (r) hemoglobins (Hbs): r Hb (alpha V96 W), r Hb Presbyterian (beta N108K), r Hb Yoshizuka (beta N108D), r Hb (alpha V96W, beta N108K), and r Hb (alpha V96W, beta N108D). These r Hbs allow us to investigate the effect on the structure-function relationship of Hb of replacing beta 108Asn by either a positively charged Lys or a negatively charged Asp as well as the effect of replacing alpha 96Val by a bulky, nonpolar Trp. We have conducted oxygen-binding studies to investigate the effect of several allosteric effectors on the oxygenation properties and the Bohr effects of these r Hbs. The oxygen affinity of these mutants is lower than that of human normal adult hemoglobin (Hb A) under various experimental conditions. The oxygen affinity of r Hb Yoshizuka is insensitive to changes in chloride concentration, whereas the oxygen affinity of r Hb Presbyterian exhibits a pronounced chloride effect. r Hb Presbyterian has the largest Bohr effect, followed by Hb A, r Hb (alpha V96W), and r Hb Yoshizuka. Thus, the amino acid substitution in the central cavity that increases the net positive charge enhances the Bohr effect. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance studies demonstrate that these r Hbs can switch from the R quaternary structure to the T quaternary structure without changing their ligation states upon the addition of an allosteric effector, inositol hexaphosphate, and/or by reducing the temperature. r Hb (alpha V96W, beta N108K), which has the lowest oxygen affinity among the hemoglobins studied, has the greatest tendency to switch to the T quaternary structure. The following conclusions can be derived from our results: First, if we can stabilize the deoxy (T) quaternary structure of a hemoglobin molecule without perturbing its oxy (R) quaternary structure, we will have a hemoglobin with low oxygen affinity and high cooperativity. Second, an alteration of the charge distribution by amino acid substitutions in the alpha 1 beta 1 subunit interface and in the central cavity of the hemoglobin molecule can influence the Bohr effect. Third, an amino acid substitution in the alpha 1 beta 1 subunit interface can affect both the oxygen affinity and cooperativity of the oxygenation process. There is communication between the alpha 1 beta 1 and alpha 1 beta 2 subunit interfaces during the oxygenation process. Fourth, there is considerable cooperativity in the oxygenation process in the T-state of the hemoglobin molecule.

CFTR: Mechanism of Anion Conduction. Physiol. Rev. 79, Suppl.: S47-S75, 1999. - The purpose of this review is to collect together the results of recent investigations of anion conductance by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator along with some of the basic background that is a prerequisite for developing some physical picture of the conduction process. The review begins with an introduction to the concepts of permeability and conductance and the Nernst-Planck and rate theory models that are used to interpret these parameters. Some of the physical forces that impinge on anion conductance are considered in the context of permeability selectivity and anion binding to proteins. Probes of the conduction process are considered, particularly permeant anions that bind tightly within the pore and block anion flow. Finally, structure-function studies are reviewed in the context of some predictions for the origin of pore properties.

Abstract
Three variants of tetrameric human hemoglobin, with changes at the alpha1beta2/alpha2beta1-interface, at the alpha1beta1/alpha2beta2-interface, and at both interfaces, have been constructed. At alpha1beta2/alpha2beta1-interface the beta93 cysteine was replaced by alanine (betaC93A), and at the alpha1beta1/alpha2beta2-interface the beta112 cysteine was replaced by glycine (betaC112G). The alpha1beta2 interface variant, betaC93A, and the alpha1beta1/alpha1beta2 double mutant, beta(C93A+C112G), were crystallized in the T-state, and the structures determined at 2. 0 and 1.8 A resolution, respectively. A comparison of the structures with that of natural hemoglobin A shows the absence of detectable changes in the tertiary folding of the protein or in the T-state quaternary assembly. At the beta112 site, the void left by the removal of the cysteine side chain is filled by a water molecule, and the functional characteristics of betaC112G are essentially those of human hemoglobin A. At the beta93 site, water molecules do not replace the cysteine side chain, and the alanine substitution increases the conformational freedom of beta146His, weakening the important interaction of this residue with beta94Asp. As a result, when Cl- is present in the solution, at a concentration 100 mM, the Bohr effect of the two mutants carrying the beta93Cys-->Ala substitution, betaC93A and beta(C93A+C112G), is significantly modified being practically absent below pH 7.4. Based on the crystallographic data, we attribute these effects to the competition between beta94Asp and Cl- in the salt link with beta146His in T-state hemoglobin. These results point to an interplay between the betaHis146-betaAsp94 salt bridge and the Cl- in solution regulated by the Cys present at position beta93, indicating yet another role of beta93 Cys in the regulation of hemoglobin function.

A hydrogen exchange (HX) functional labeling method was used to study allosterically active segments in human hemoglobin (Hb) at the alpha-chain N terminus and the beta-chain C terminus. Allosterically important interactions that contact these segments were removed one or more at a time by mutation (Hbs Cowtown, Bunbury, Barcelona, Kariya), proteolysis (desArg141alpha, desHis146beta), chemical modification (N-ethylsuccinimidyl-Cys93beta), and the withdrawal of extrinsic effectors (phosphate groups, chloride). The effects of each modification on HX rate at the local and the remote position were measured in the deoxy Hb T-state and translated into change in structural free energy at each position.The removal of individual salt links destabilizes local structure by 0.4 to 0.75 kcal/mol (pH 7.4, 0 degreesC, 0.35 M ionic strength) and often produces cross-subunit effects while hemoglobin remains in the T-state. In doubly modified hemoglobins, different changes that break the same links produce identical destabilization, changes that are structurally independent show energetic additivity, and changes that intersect show energetic overlap. For the overall T-state to R-state transition and for some but not all modifications within the T-state, the summed loss in stabilization free energy measured at the two chain termini matches the total loss in allosteric free energy measured by global methods. These observations illustrate the importance of evaluating the detailed energetics and the modes of energy transfer that define the allosteric machinery.

Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis of an important subunit contact site, Asp-99(beta), by a Lys residue (D99K(beta)) was proven by sequencing the entire beta-globin gene and the mutant tryptic peptide. Oxygen equilibrium curves of the mutant hemoglobin (Hb) (2-15 mM in heme) indicated that it had an increased oxygen affinity and a lowered but significant amount of cooperativity compared to native HbA. However, in contrast to normal HbA, oxygen binding of the recombinant mutant Hb was only marginally affected by the allosteric regulators 2,3-diphosphoglycerate or inositol hexaphosphate and was not at all responsive to chloride. The efficiency of oxygen binding by HbA in the presence of allosteric regulators was limited by the mutant Hb. At concentrations of 0.2 mM or lower in heme, the mutant D99K(beta) Hb was predominantly a dimer as demonstrated by gel filtration, haptoglobin binding, fluorescence quenching, and light scattering. The purified dimeric recombinant Hb mutant exists in 2 forms that are separable on isoelectric focusing by about 0.1 pH unit, in contrast to tetrameric hemoglobin, which shows 1 band. These mutant forms, which were present in a ratio of 60:40, had the same masses for their heme and globin moieties as determined by mass spectrometry. The elution positions of the alpha- and beta-globin subunits on HPLC were identical. Circular dichroism studies showed that one form of the mutant Hb had a negative ellipticity at 410 nm and the other had positive ellipticity at this wavelength. The findings suggest that the 2 D99K(beta) recombinant mutant forms have differences in their heme-protein environments.

Abstract
Hb Val de Marne [alpha 133(H16)Ser-->Arg] was found in a French family during a neonatal hemoglobinopathy screening program. The abnormal hemoglobin was found, within a few months interval, in two newborn children who were first cousins. In the children as well as in the parents carrying this hemoglobin variant, the red cell parameters were normal. Hb Val de Marne, isolated by isoelectrofocusing, displayed a slightly higher auto-oxidation rate than Hb A. Its oxygen affinity was increased 1.7-fold in comparison to that of Hb A. The heterotropic effects were normal.

Abstract
The mutation site in hemoglobin Rothschild (37 beta Trp----Arg) is located in the "hinge region" of the alpha 1 beta 2 interface, a region that is critical for normal hemoglobin function. The mutation results in greatly reduced cooperativity and an oxygen affinity similar to that of hemoglobin A [Gacon, G., Belkhodja, O., Wajcman, H., & Labie, D. (1977) FEBS Lett. 82, 243-246]. Crystal were grown under "low-salt" conditions [100 mM Cl- in 10 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 with poly(ethylene glycol) as a precipitating agent]. The crystal structure of deoxyhemoglobin Rothschild and the isomorphous crystal structure of deoxyhemoglobin A were refined at resolutions of 2.0 and 1.9 A, respectively. The mutation-induced structural changes were partitioned into components of (1) tetramer rotation, (2) quaternary structure rearrangement, and (3) deformations of tertiary structure. The quaternary change involves a 1 degree rotation of the alpha subunit about the "switch region" of the alpha 1 beta 2 interface. The tertiary changes are confined to residues at the alpha 1 beta 2 interface, with the largest shifts (approximately 0.4 A) located across the interface from the mutation site at the alpha subunit FG corner-G helix boundary. Most surprising was the identification of a mutation-generated anion-binding site in the alpha 1 beta 2 interface. Chloride binds at this site as a counterion for Arg 37 beta. The requirement of a counterion implies that the solution properties of hemoglobin Rothschild, in particular the dimer-tetramer equilibrium, should be very dependent upon the concentration and type of anions present.

Abstract
In human red blood cells, when chloride was replaced isosmotically with a permeant chaotropic anion of the lyotropic series (NO3, I, or SCN), an immediate and significant loss of cell water was observed. In contrast, replacement of chloride by a substituted monovalent sulfonate, such as methanesulfonate or sulfamate, had no significant effect on cell water. Cell water loss in the presence of lyotropic anions was not the result of hemolysis or cation loss but was associated with a significant fall in the distribution ratios of protons (out/in) and chloride (in/out), suggesting an increase in nondiffusible intracellular negative charges. This hypothesis was examined using the equilibrium dialysis technique of Freedman and Hoffman (J. Gen. Physiol. 74: 157-185, 1979) in which fixed charges are titrated in cells permeabilized by nystatin. The equilibrium concentration ratios (in/out) of potassium, sodium, and chloride were determined at various external pH (pHo) values. The point at which anion and cation ratios are equal is the effective isoelectric point for the intracellular charges. In normal chloride-containing medium at 24 degrees C, this point was found at a pHo of 6.93. When chloride was replaced by a chaotropic anion, the isoelectric point at 24 degrees C shifted to a lower pHo: NO3 (6.38), I (5.98), and SCN (5.70). The substituted monovalent sulfonates had little effect on isoelectric point: methyl sulfate (6.81), sulfamate (7.00), and methanesulfonate (7.07). Calculation of the intracellular charges from titration data, as well as equilibrium distribution studies with [14C]SCN, suggests that lyotropic anion binding to intracellular sites (mainly hemoglobin) is responsible for the observed changes in cell water, cell pH, and chloride distribution.

Abstract
The relative contributions of the allosteric and affinity factors toward the change in p50 have been calculated for a series of effectors of hemoglobin (Hb). Shifts in the ligand affinity of deoxy Hb and the values for 50% ligand saturation (p50) were obtained from oxygen equilibrium data. Because the high-affinity parameters (liganded conformation) are poorly determined from the equilibrium curves, they were determined from kinetic measurements of the association and dissociation rates with CO as ligand. The CO on-rates were obtained by flash photolysis measurements. The off-rates were determined from the rate of oxidation of HbCO by ferricyanide, or by replacement of CO with NO. The partition function of fully liganded hemoglobin for oxygen and CO is only slightly changed by the effectors. Measurements were made in the presence of the effectors 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG), inositol hexakisphosphate (IHP), bezafibrate (Bzf), and two recently synthesized derivatives of Bzf (LR16 and L35). Values of p50 change by over a factor of 60; the on-rates decrease by nearly a factor of 8, with little change in the off-rates for the liganded conformation. The data indicate that both allosteric and affinity parameters are changed by the effectors; the changes in ligand affinity represent the larger contribution toward shifts in p50.

Abstract
Chloride plays a key role in activating the photosynethetic oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Photosystem II, but the OEC is only one of many enzymes affected by this anion. Some of the mechanistic features of Cl(-) involvement in water-splitting resemble those of other proteins whose structure and chemistry are known in detail. An overview of the similarities and differences between these Cl(-)-binding systems is presented.

Abstract
35Cl(-)-NMR measurements of chloride binding to carbonmonoxy- and deoxy-dromedary hemoglobin reveal the existence of two classes of chloride-binding sites, one of high and the other of low affinity. Although this situation resembles that described for human hemoglobin, it was found that the number of binding sites as well as the association equilibrium constant for chloride binding are significantly higher in the dromedary protein. This difference may be due to the greater number of basic residues exposed to solvent and to the higher flexibility of dromedary hemoglobin. The two oxygen-linked polyanion-binding sites characteristic of this hemoglobin show competition for some of the high-affinity chloride-binding sites in keeping with their location in the cleft enclosed by the beta chains and between the alpha chains termini. It is suggested that the observed anion-binding properties of dromedary hemoglobin may contribute to the control of the physiological osmotic shock after rehydration.

Abstract
At low concentrations of chloride ions, and in the presence of nonsaturating concentrations of organophosphates, the oxygen equilibrium curves (OEC) for solutions of human adult hemoglobin exhibit a biphasic shape conveniently revealed by graphical analysis of the first derivative of the Hill equation with a characteristic form that we call "the double hump effect." This shape, observed for sub-saturating concentrations of organophosphates, stands in marked contrast to the simple lateral shifts of the OEC represented largely by scaling factors when pH or chloride are varied. In the case of protons or chloride, there is a self-buffering effect due to the presence of a large reservoir of proton or chloride binding sites not necessarily linked to oxygen, whereas such sites do not exist in the case of organophosphates. In addition, in the former case, we are dealing with curves measured at constant activity of the effector, while in the latter, at constant concentration. In the presence of saturating concentrations of inositol hexaphosphate (IHP), at low chloride concentration, the entire OEC is shifted to the right, including both its upper and lower asymptotes, indicating a decrease in the intrinsic oxygen affinities of both the T and R states. Theoretical considerations leading to a successful modeling of OEC obtained under nonsaturating and saturating concentrations of IHP required an expanded two-state allosteric model in which IHP-dependent variations in oxygen association constants for both the T and R conformations are taken into account.

Abstract
The selective carboxymethylation of the N-terminal amino groups of hemoglobin A with glyoxylic acid and sodium cyanoborohydride has been studied as a function of the state of ligation of hemoglobin. The N-terminal residues have been established as the primary sites of reaction by peptide mapping of the tryptic digest of each chain and subsequent amino acid analysis of the modified peptides. With oxyhemoglobin, the desired derivatives with a carboxymethyl group at the N-terminal of either or both chains amounted to 55% [Di Donato, A., Fantl, W. J., Acharya, A. S., & Manning, J. M. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 11890-11895]. In the present study it is shown that with deoxyhemoglobin the amount of the desired derivative is increased to 75%. The oxygen equilibrium curve of hemoglobin A carboxymethylated on its four N-terminal residues [0.5 mM as tetramer in 50 mM [bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]tris(hydroxymethyl)methane (Bis-Tris), pH 7.5, 37 degrees C] had a P50 value of 30 mmHg (Hill coefficient n = 2.8, alkaline Bohr value = 0.4) compared to a P50 of 9 mmHg for unmodified hemoglobin under the same conditions (n = 2.5, alkaline Bohr value = 0.5). In carboxymethylated oxyhemoglobin A, cross-linked with the mild agent glycolaldehyde for 3.5 h, there was 85% of Mr 64,000 species and 15% of Mr 128,000 or higher species. For the former, the extent of cross-linking between two subunits was 19%. For the latter, there was 29% of two cross-linked subunits and 13% of three cross-linked subunits. Termination of cross-linking, which may be desirable in some circumstances, can be successfully achieved with isonicotinic acid hydrazide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Human hemoglobin, reacted at the four amino termini with 4-isothiocyanatobenzenesulphonic acid (Hb-ICBS), was separated into its constituent chains. Recombination of the ICBS-reacted chains with the unmodified mate chains produced the hybrid tetramers modified at either the beta or the alpha chains: alpha 2 beta 2ICBS and alpha 2ICBS beta 2. All of the modified tetramers show a reduced oxygen affinity and reduced cooperativity; furthermore the oxygen affinity of the Hb-ICBS and alpha 2 beta 2ICBS is unaffected by 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate while the oxygen affinity of alpha 2ICBS beta 2 is decreased in the presence of this organic phosphate. The oxygen affinity of Hb-ICBS and alpha 2ICBS beta 2 is independent of chloride concentration, while the alpha 2 beta 2ICBS hybrid shows a reduced response to this anion. The tetramers alpha 2ICBS beta 2 and alpha 2ICBS beta 2ICBS show a decreased alkaline Bohr effect, which can be rationalized as being due to disruption of the oxygen-linked chloride-binding sites; in the case of alpha 2 beta 2ICBS the Bohr effect is instead (partially) maintained. The functional properties of artificial tetramers have been studied also from a kinetic point of view by CO combination and the results obtained compare satisfactorily with equilibrium data. The possibility of obtaining selectively modified hemoglobins promises to provide further insight into the properties of the oxygen-linked anion-binding sites in hemoglobin.

Abstract
The binding of chloride ions to specific sites on the human hemoglobin molecule has well-known effects on the oxygen equilibrium and on the stability of the tetrameric structure. Several lines of evidence suggest that the oxygen-linked and the dissociation-linked chloride binding sites differ. Direct evidence for this difference has been obtained from the chloride dependence of the dimer-tetramer equilibrium of oxyhemoglobin modified with 4-isothiocyanatobenzenesulfonic acid, in which all the oxygen-linked chloride binding sites are blocked, or with 4-isothiocyanatobenzenesulfonamide, in which the linkage between chloride and oxygen is unperturbed. Thus, the chloride dependence of the dimer-tetramer assembly is unaffected by the chemical modification in both proteins and resembles that of unreacted hemoglobin. It is suggested that histidines alpha-103, alpha-122 and beta-97 may constitute, at least in part, the dissociation-linked chloride binding sites.

Abstract
The functional properties of dromedary hemoglobin have been studied as a function of chloride, polyphosphates and pH and compared with those of human hemoglobin. The two proteins have the same amino acid residues at the anion-binding sites as well as at the level of the groups responsible for the alkaline Bohr effect. Analysis of the experimental data reveals that: (a) intrinsic oxygen affinity and the Bohr effect are very similar for the two proteins; (b) the association equilibrium constants of chloride are substantially higher in the dromedary system, both in the unligated and ligated state; (c) two polyanion-binding sites occur in dromedary oxy and deoxyhemoglobin; (d) association constants of polyphosphates for the higher-affinity binding site (probably in the cavity between beta chains) are comparable for the two proteins under physiological conditions; association constants for the second binding site in dromedary hemoglobin are not affected by pH changes; (e) the dependence of oxygen affinity in dromedary hemoglobin upon chloride concentration is complex, this anion at relatively low concentrations reverses the effect of millimolar polyphosphate; (f) both in stopped-flow and flash photolysis experiments the kinetic behaviour of dromedary hemoglobin is consistent with the equilibrium results. The pronounced sensitivity to solvent composition of the functional properties of dromedary hemoglobin even in the oxy state stresses the potential relevance of this conformation for regulating the oxygen transport in vivo.

Abstract
A low P50 value in a fresh red blood cell suspension was discovered in a polycythemic patient (Hb 19 g X dl-1). Routine acid and alkaline electrophoreses of the hemolysate were identical to normal hemolysate. Isoelectrofocusing (pH gradient 6-8) did not reveal any abnormal band whether performed with the fully liganded or deoxygenated samples. Precise analyses of the oxygen dissociation curves of the propositus' red cells demonstrated a biphasic Hill plot, a normal Bohr effect and low interaction with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). Studies on the unfractionated hemolysate confirmed these observations and the inhibition of the effect of organic phosphates. Structural studies were carried out on the mixture of beta A + beta X chains and revealed the presence of two beta Tp14 peptides. Sequencing the abnormal beta Tp14 peptide showed the substitution Ala----Thr of the beta 140 (H18) residue. This new variant was named Hb Saint-Jacques. Examination of the three dimensional model of HbAo indicates that the substitution beta 140 (H18) Ala----Thr induces van der Waals interactions with the nearby lysine-82 (EF6) and leucine-81 (EF5) and a displacement of the EF corner of the beta chains. This is likely to change the normal position of the lysine-82 (EF6), a major anionic binding site in the central cavity between the two beta chains. Functional studies confirm the interpretation of a steric hindrance inhibiting the binding of large organic phosphates to Hb Saint-Jacques.

Abstract
An attempt was made to establish the binding of N-(2,4-diphosphobenzyl)-1-amino-5-naphthalenesulfonic acid, DIPANS, as an estimator of conformation in the carbonmonoxy (CO)-hemoglobins (Hbs) of several vertebrates. DIPANS failed to bind menhaden I, trout I or tuna Hbs which are ligand insensitive. Below a pH of 7.0, DIPANS bound menhaden II, Bufo, Xenopus, and human Hbs with a binding stoichiometry greater than one. The charge of the DIPANS molecule does not control its binding to these Hbs. The binding to human CO-Hb can not be due to Hb conformation. For Xenopus Hbs and menhaden II, conformation predominates DIPANS binding. The binding to CO-Hb of DIPANS, can not be unambiguously attributed to the Hb's quaternary conformation.

Abstract
We have extended our studies on the magnetic properties of carp carbonmonoxyhemoglobin and the dependence of these properties upon solution variables. Using an improved version of the superconducting magnetometer, we have found that the magnetic susceptibility of carp carbonmonoxyhemoglobin is sensitive to both inositol hexakisphosphate and chloride ion. The dependence upon chloride ion concentration is complex. At relatively low concentrations this anion reverses the effect of inositol hexakisphosphate, restoring paramagnetism. At higher chloride concentrations the protein is converted to a roughly diamagnetic state in the absence of inositol hexakisphosphate. Along with these susceptibility studies, we have examined the effects of these anions on other properties of carp carbonmonoxyhemoglobin. The positions of the Soret bands of human and carp methemoglobin derivatives are correlated with spin state; changes in the magnetic susceptibility of carbonmonoxyhemoglobin are similarly associated with alterations in this spectral band. We have also examined the effects of these anions on the proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of carp carbonmonoxyhemoglobin. Both chloride and inositol hexakisphosphate alter the position of the proton resonances in the ring-current-shifted region of the spectrum.

Abstract
The distribution of oxygen between the subunits of haemoglobin was studied spectrophotometrically. The difficulty in discriminating the spectral changes upon oxygen binding to the alpha or beta subunit can be surmounted by means of multidimensional spectroscopic observations and a correlation analysis of the data. M-type abnormal haemoglobins are used as a control against normal haemoglobin because only one type of its subunits can bind oxygen. A multidimensional spectroscopic measuring system, which has been developed in our laboratory, makes it possible to carry out simultaneous and continuous acquisition of a set of spectroscopic data at several wavelengths on one sample solution during the course of increasing or decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen. The data-storing function of a magnetic disk memory provides enough precision for a rigorous investigation of the correlation of oxygen equilibrium curves measured at several wavelengths. No chemical modification to enhance the spectral difference between subunits is necessary. In conclusion, by detecting slight differences between the oxygenation-sensitive bands of alpha and beta subunits, the beta subunits are found to have a higher affinity for oxygen than the alpha subunits.

Abstract
The influence of temperature on the oxygen affinity and the alkaline Bohr effect of pig red cells and pig hemoglobin solutions has been compared to that of human adult red cells and human adult hemoglobin. Pig red cells and pig Hb evidence a lower affinity for oxygen in various conditions of pH, temperature and salt concentration, in the presence as well as in the absence of organic phosphates. It has been observed that the alkaline Bohr effect of pig Hb was reduced by 20-25% compared to Hb A0 and independent of changes in temperature, contrary to human Hb A0. Titrations of pig Hb with C1- indicate a lower heterotropic effect of this anion at low concentration of the salt. It is concluded that this may be the origin of the temperature independence of the alkaline Bohr effect in pig Hb. Conversely, the temperature dependence of the alkaline Bohr effect of Hb A0 should be related to the oxygen-linked binding of C1- at the alpha 1-alpha 2 interface.
