Globins in Caenorhabditis elegans

IUBMB Life, 2011
AbstractExtensive in silico search of the genome of Caenorhabditis elegans revealed the presence of 33 genes coding for globins that are all transcribed. These globins are very diverse in gene and protein structure and are localized in a variety of cells, mostly neurons. The large number of C.

Electron transfer function versus oxygen delivery: a comparative study for several hexacoordinated globins across the animal kingdom. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Caenorhabditis elegans globin GLB-26 (expressed from gene T22C1.2) has been studied in comparison with human neuroglobin (Ngb) and cytoglobin (Cygb) for its electron transfer properties. GLB-26 exhibits no reversible binding for O(2) and a relatively low

Gelling Properties of Globin-Succinylated Globin Conjugates.

NIPPON SHOKUHIN KOGYO GAKKAISHI, 1993
2種類のグロビン-サクシニル化グロビン複合体(CMHTとCUT)を調製し,各複合体のゲル特性について検討した.(1) CMHTはGの配合比率が高くなる程ゲル形成pHは中性の方へ拡大した.例えば, GとSGの配合率が3:7の場合,ゲル形成pHは2.0であったが,G:SG=9:1の場合,ゲルはpH 2.0～3.5の範囲で形成された.一方, G:SGの配合比率が7:3と9:1のCUTの場合,ゲル形成pHは極めて狭い範囲に限定された.(2) ゲルの透明度はCMHT, CUTともにより酸性側で高く,また,グロビンの配合比率が高くなる程透明度も高くなる傾向を示した.(3) 複合体ゲルのゲル強度を測定した. CMHTの場合, G:SG=5:5 (pH 2.0)で高いゲル強度が得られた.

Hemoglobin switching in mice carrying the Klf1^Nan variant

Haematologica, 2020
Haploinsufficiency for transcription factor KLF1 causes a variety of human erythroid phenotypes, such as the In(Lu) blood type, increased HbA2 levels, and hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin. Severe dominant congenital dyserythropoietic anemia IV

ACTIVIN RECEPTOR LIGAND FOR THR TREATMENT OF BETA-THALASSEMIA: a SERENDIPITOUS DISCOVERY

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2020
b-thalassemia is a hereditary disorder caused by defective production of b-globin chains of hemoglobin (Hb) that leads to an increased a/b globins ratio with subsequent free a-globins.

Redox-Regulation of α-Globin in Vascular Physiology

Antioxidants, 2022
Interest in the structure, function, and evolutionary relations of circulating and intracellular globins dates back more than 60 years to the first determination of the three-dimensional structure of these proteins.

Engineering Globin Gene Expression [PDF]

Molecular Therapy - Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
Hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease and thalassemia, are among the most common inherited genetic diseases worldwide. Due to the relative ease of isolating and genetically modifying hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, recent gene editing and gene therapy strategies have progressed to clinical trials with promising outcomes; however ...

The Coup-TFII orphan nuclear receptor is an activator of the γ-globin gene

Haematologica, 2020
The human fetal γ-globin gene is repressed in the adult stage through complex regulatory mechanisms involving transcription factors and epigenetic modifiers.

Engineering neuroglobin nitrite reductase activity based on myoglobin models

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2023
Neuroglobin is a hemoprotein expressed in several nervous system cell lineages with yet unknown physiological functions. Neuroglobin presents a very similar structure to that of the related globins hemoglobin and myoglobin, but shows an hexacoordinate ...

From Covalent Traps to Fluorescent Beacons: The Expanding Arsenal of Chemical Probes for Studying Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin‐Like Proteins

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A large variety of chemistry‐based ubiquitin probes have been developed. ABSTRACT Ubiquitin (Ub) and ubiquitin‐like proteins (Ubls) orchestrate diverse cellular processes through reversible post‐translational modification of target proteins. Their conjugation is governed by a cascade of E1 activating, E2 conjugating, and E3 ligating enzymes, while ...
