Molecular mechanism of AHSP-mediated stabilization of α-hemoglobin. Feng, L., Gell, D., Zhou, S., Gu, L., Kong, Y., Li, J., Hu, M., Yan, N., Lee, C., Rich, A., MacKay, J., & Shi, Y. Cell, 119(5):629-640, 2004. doi abstract bibtex Hemoglobin A (HbA), the oxygen delivery system in humans, comprises two α and two β subunits. Free α-hemoglobin (αHb) is unstable, and its precipitation contributes to the pathophysiology of β thalassemia. In erythrocytes, the α-hemoglobin stabilizing protein (AHSP) binds αHb and inhibits its precipitation. The crystal structure of AHSP bound to Fe(II)-αHb reveals that AHSP specifically recognizes the G and H helices of αHb through a hydrophobic interface that largely recapitulates the α1-β1 interface of hemoglobin. The AHSP-αHb interactions are extensive but suboptimal, explaining why β-hemoglobin can competitively displace AHSP to form HbA. Remarkably, the Fe(II)-heme group in AHSP bound αHb is coordinated by the distal but not the proximal histidine. Importantly, binding to AHSP facilitates the conversion of oxy-αHb to a deoxygenated, oxidized [Fe(III)], nonreactive form in which all six coordinate positions are occupied. These observations reveal the molecular mechanisms by which AHSP stabilizes free αHb.
