Novel mechanisms of pH sensitivity in tuna hemoglobin: a structural explanation of the root effect.
The crystal structure of hemoglobin has been known for several decades, yet various features of the molecule remain unexplained or controversial. Several animal hemoglobins have properties that cannot be readily explained in terms of their amino acid sequence and known atomic models of hemoglobin. Among these, fish hemoglobins are well known for their widely varying interactions with heterotrop...
متن کاملMechanisms of somatosensory neuronal sensitivity to alkaline pH.
Life for most species is best in a very narrow range of pH. Departures of tissue pH from this narrow range are guarded against by various neural and physiological defense mechanisms. In the past few years, we have gained a much better understanding of what the sensory bases of the defenses against acid insults are. Specifically, several ion channels (TRPV1, Caterina et al., 1997; ASIC3, Waldman...
متن کاملmolecular mechanisms of hemoglobin f induction
hemoglobin f (hbf, α 2 γ 2 ) is a major contributor to the clinical heterogeneity and ameliorating agent observed in patients with the β-globin disorders including β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease (scd). during fetal life, hbf is the major hemoglobin but is largely substituted by adult hemoglobin (hba, α 2 β 2 ) following a globin expression switch after birth. increased γ-globin expressio...
متن کاملModulation of TRPM2 by acidic pH and the underlying mechanisms for pH sensitivity
TRPM2 is a Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channel that plays important roles in oxidative stress-mediated cell death and inflammation processes. However, how TRPM2 is regulated under physiological and pathological conditions is not fully understood. Here, we report that both intracellular and extracellular protons block TRPM2 by inhibiting channel gating. We demonstrate that external prot...
متن کاملpH Sensitivity of Novel PANI/PVB/PS3 Composite Films
This paper reports on the results from the investigation into the pH sensitivity ofnovel PANI/PVB/PS3 composite films. The conductimetric sensing mode was chosen as itis one of the most promising alternatives to the mainstream pH-sensing methods and it is theleast investigated due to the popularity of other approaches. The films were deposited usingboth screen-printing and a drop-coating method...
