Upregulation of alpha globin promotes apoptotic cell death in the hematopoietic cell line FL5.12 [PDF]
The function of alpha globin in the context of oxygen transport in erythroid cells is well described. There is growing evidence, however, that alpha globin is involved in processes other than tissue oxygen supply.

The folding pathway for globins [PDF]
Previous investigations have successfully predicted the three-dimensional structures of trypsin inhibitor [ 1,2] , myoglobin [3,4] , TMV protein [ 51 and rubredoxin [2]. Using mechanisms of protein chain folding which one of us [5 $1 suggested,.we can find a common folding pathway for the globins which are included in the ‘Atlas of Protein Sequence and

Isolation, characterization and immunolocalization of a globin-like antigen from Ostertagia ostertagi adults [PDF]
Western blot analysis using an anti-globin rabbit serum Rb94 revealed a major band of 17 kDa in extracts of Ostertagia ostertagi adults and 4th-stage larvae.

Genetic and Epigenetic Therapies for β-Thalassaemia by Altering the Expression of α-Globin Gene
β-Thalassaemia is caused by over 300 mutations in and around the β-globin gene that lead to impaired synthesis of β-globin. The expression of α-globin continues normally, resulting in an excess of α-globin chains within red blood cells and their ...

Nerve Globins in Invertebrates
AbstractThe expression of nerve hemoglobins in invertebrates is a well‐established fact, but this occurrence is uncommon. In the species where nerve globins occur, they probably function as an oxygen store for sustaining activity of the nerves during anoxic conditions.

ATF4 Regulates MYB to Increase γ-Globin in Response to Loss of β-Globin
Summary: β-Hemoglobinopathies can trigger rapid production of red blood cells in a process known as stress erythropoiesis. Cellular stress prompts differentiating erythroid precursors to express high levels of fetal γ-globin.

α-globin gene triplication carriers were not anemic in general, while some studies found that α-globin gene triplication coinherited with heterozygous β-thalassemia may cause adverse clinical symptoms, which yet lacks sufficient evidence in large ...

A phylogenomic profile of globins [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundGlobins occur in all three kingdoms of life: they can be classified into single-domain globins and chimeric globins. The latter comprise the flavohemoglobins with a C-terminal FAD-binding domain and the gene-regulating globin coupled sensors, with variable C-terminal domains.

The human ζ-globin gene (HBZ) is transcribed in primitive erythroid cells only during the embryonic stages of development. Reactivation of this embryonic globin synthesis would likely alleviate symptoms both in α-thalassemia and sickle-cell disease ...
