Title: Hemoglobin Istanbul: substitution of glutamine for histidine in a proximal histidine (F8(92) ). Author: Aksoy M, Erdem S, Efremov GD, Wilson JB, Huisman TH, Schroeder WA, Shelton JR, Shelton JB, Ulitin ON, Müftüoğlu A. Journal: J Clin Invest; 1972 Sep; 51(9):2380-7. PubMed ID: 4639022. Abstract: A presumably spontaneous mutation has resulted in the formation of Hemoglobin (Hb) Istanbul in which glutamine is substituted for histidine in the proximal position of the beta-chain (F8(92)). The anemia and other physiological effects that occur in the presence of Hb Istanbul were much ameliorated by splenectomy. Hb Istanbul is a relatively unstable molecule which produces a rather moderate case of "unstable hemoglobin hemolytic anemia."In the determination of structure, a method of preferential cleavage of an aspartyl-proline bond at residues 99-100 of the beta-chain was used.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
