This variant has a low oxygen affinity and is unstable, explaining the elevated HHb, right-shift of the O2Hb curve and hemolysis, spuriously low pulse oximetry readings, and shorter lifespan of patients with this disorder.

Structure

The CCDC138 protein has a coiled-coil region and several alpha helixes, as predicted by PELE, CHOFAS and GOR4. It does not have a transmembrane domain.

Crystal structures of activin class receptors have been determined in both the open and classic closed states. They reveal a high degree of flexibility in the activin dimer with an unstable wrist helix. These structural findings have been useful for understanding how mutations in the kinase domain alter the activity of these intracellular proteins.

Hemoglobin Brockton has a beta 138 Ala----Pro substitution that reduces the intrinsic oxygen affinity of the hemoprotein, but does not disrupt critical intersubunit hydrogen bonds or salt bridges near the carboxyl-terminal dipeptide that are essential for the cooperative oxygenation process. In addition, X-ray crystallographic data suggest that the low oxygen affinity of hemoglobin Calais is due to the lack of a buried hydrogen bond between the helixes of the hemoglobin molecule. These results highlight the importance of incorporating structural biology Bet approaches into TGFb signaling studies to better understand these important pathways.

Oxygen Affinity

The oxygen affinity of hemoglobin is modulated by a variety of compounds known as allosteric modifiers or heterotropic ligands. These bind at sites other than the heme and bias the quaternary structure toward the T state (the high oxygen affinity form). Heterotropic ligands include acids (the Bohr effect), 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) and H+. They also may interact with the quaternary structure by binding to amino acids, such as proline.

Oxygen binding enthalpies of R and T states differ significantly in their equilibrium constants, indicating that the two conformationally stable states are different from each other. The T state has more stabilizing salt bridges and less steric strain than the R state.

Interspecific comparisons of oxygen-binding enthalpies of hemoglobin from fish that encounter widely varying temperatures show apparent adaptive reductions in the temperature effect that involve adaptations at the erythrocytic level rather than differences in the cofactors themselves. These results support the hypothesis that variation in organic phosphates, such as decreases in glucose-6-phosphate, is an important mechanism for fine tuning oxygen affinity.

Function

The incomplete beta function, B(p, q), is defined in the domain of real numbers. It is used in physics, functional analysis and integral calculus. It is also called the digamma function and is related to the gamma function.

It can be computed using Pochhammer contour integration, and is defined as a polynomial of degree p + q - 1 with rational coefficients. This function is similar to the gamma function and its generalization, the incomplete gamma function.

The beta function is important in quantum field theory because it tells you whether a quantum field is scale-invariant or not. It is often used as a tool to approximate the coupling parameters in perturbation theory. However, if the field is very strongly coupled, then the beta function may not be accurate and you can no longer rely on perturbation theory. This is why beta-functions are also used in non-perturbative methods like Feynman graphs and loop calculations. Hemoglobin Brockton [beta 138 (G13) Ala----Pro] is an unstable hemoglobin variant that has lower oxygen affinity than Hb A, but x-ray crystallographic studies suggest that the substitution does not disrupt critical intra- and intersubunit hydrogen bonds and salt bridges necessary for the cooperative oxygenation of hemoglobin.

Molecular Weight

Hemoglobin Brockton [beta 138 (H16) Ala----Pro] is an unstable variant associated with mild anemia. Electrophoretic mobility measurements reveal that the proline substitution near the C-terminus of the beta subunit disrupts critical inter and intrasubunit hydrogen bonds and salt bridges in the carboxyl-terminal dipeptide but not the important polar interactions in the heme pocket that are essential for normal oxygen affinity. Functional studies carried out on blood and hemolysate samples show that the beta 138 mutation does not cause biphasic oxygen saturation. X-ray crystallographic studies indicate that the instability of this variant probably results from the inability of a buried hydrogen bond to form between Pro 138 beta and Val 134 beta. This antibody reacts with human syndecan-1, CD138, which is a soluble glycoprotein expressed on cells including differentiating keratinocytes and shed in the extracellular space. CD138 has been shown to bind a wide range of cytokines, modulate the activity of extracellular matrix components and influence many developmental processes.
