Abstract

Effect of physical effort on haemoglobin-oxygen affinity was studied in whole blood of 28 healthy males. In persons showing decrease in pH gradient between plasma and erythrocytes after physical effort, a parallel decrease in apparent, normalized for intraerythrocytic pH (pHe), Hb-oxygen affinity was noted. An increase in pH gradient after exercise was accompanied by increase in apparent, corrected for pHe, Hb-oxygen affinity and in blood Hb content. Correlation between exercise-induced changes in Hb-oxygen affinity and in pH gradient (-0.66) was highly significant (p less than 0.001). It is suggested that both parameters may be increased by recruitment into circulation of old erythrocytes from spleen. Decrease in both parameters may be related to low values of intraerythrocytic pH before effort. Groups of persons differing in exercise-induced changes of Hb-oxygen affinity did not differ in maximal oxygen utilization.

Effect of bezafibrate and clofibric acid on the spectroscopic properties of the nitric oxide derivative of ferrous human hemoglobin.

The effect of bezafibrate (BZF) and clofibric acid (CFA) on the spectroscopic (EPR and absorbance) properties of the nitric oxide derivative of ferrous human hemoglobin (HbNO) has been investigated quantitatively. In the presence of BZF and CFA, the X-band EPR spectra and the absorption spectra in the Soret region of HbNO display the same basic characteristics described in the presence of inositol hexakisphosphate (IHP) and 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). Next, in the presence of these allosteric effectors, the oxygen affinity for ferrous human hemoglobin (Hb) is reduced. These findings indicate that BZF and CFA, as already reported for IHP and 2, 3-DPG, induce the stabilization of a low affinity conformation of the ligated hemoprotein (i.e., HbNO). Values of the apparent equilibrium constant for BZF and CFA binding to HbNO (K) are 1.5(+/- 0.2) x 10(-2) M and 2.8(+/- 0.3) x 10(-2) M, respectively, at pH 7.0 (in 0.1 M N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazine-N'-[2-ethanesulfonic acid]/NaOH buffer system plus 0.1 M NaCl) and 20 degrees C. The results reported here represent clearcut evidence for BZF and CFA specific (i.e., functionally relevant) binding to a ligated derivative of Hb (i.e., HbNO).

Structural study and preliminary crystallographic data for the hemoglobin from reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus)

The ferric form of reindeer hemoglobin (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) has been crystallized in an orthorhombic crystalline form from polyethylene glycol solutions, at pH 8.2. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit cell edges a = 84.2 A, b = 59.9 A, c = 119.5 A; one hemoglobin tetramer is contained in the asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract X-rays to a limit spacing of 3.0 A. Inspection of amino acid sequences in the N-terminal region of beta-chains, and analysis of hemoglobin three-dimensional models, allows one to rationalize, on a molecular basis, the reduced O2 affinity and the decreased effect of organic phosphates observed in ruminant hemoglobins. By analogy, the analysis is extended to birds and reptiles, whose hemoglobin beta-chains display, as in ruminants, the deletion of the N-terminal residue and a methionine at the NA2 position.

13C and 31P NMR studies of glucose and 2-deoxyglucose metabolism in normal and enzyme-deficient human erythrocytes.

The flux of 13C-labeled glucose through the Embden-Meyerhof and pentose phosphate pathways was studied by 13C NMR in intact erythrocytes isolated from normal subjects or from patients suffering of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD, EC 1.1.1.49) deficiency. Similar rates of glucose catabolism and similar fluxes of the 13C-label into 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate and lactate were found, under basal conditions, in normal and in G6PD-deficient erythrocytes incubated in the presence of either [1-13C]- or D[6-13C]glucose. Exposure to oxidative stress by preincubation with tert-butylhydroperoxide induced in normal, but not in G6PD-deficient erythrocytes, a significant enhancement of glucose consumption, as well as a substantial reduction in 13C-label transfer from C1-glucose into lactate. It was also possible, by 31P NMR, to evaluate the conversion of 2-deoxyglucose to its phosphate-containing metabolites. The oxidation and subsequent decarboxylation of 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate was assessed in reconstituted systems and could subsequently be evidenced also in ethanolic extracts from normal (but not from G6PD-deficient) erythrocytes which had been exposed to oxidative stress. The results indicate that, in terms of glucose flux through the glycolytic pathway, there is little or no difference between normal and G6PD-deficient erythrocytes, regardless of previous exposure to oxidative stress. Faster consumption of either glucose or 2-deoxyglucose is induced, only in normal cells, by treatment with tert-butylhydroperoxide, essentially as a consequence of the activation of the pentose-phosphate pathway.
