The role of heterotetramer interaction sites in assembly and autoxidation of hemoglobin is not clear. The importance of β116His(G-18) and γ116Ileat one of the α1β1 or α1γ1 interaction sites for homo-dimer formation and assembly in vitro of β and γ chains, respectively, with α chains to form human Hb A and Hb F was assessed using recombinant β116His→Asp, β116His→Ile, and β112Cys→Thr,116His→Ilechains. Even though β chains (e.g., 116 His) are in monomer/tetramer equilibrium, β116Aspchains showed only monomer formation. In contrast, β116Ileand β112Thr,116Ilechains showed homodimer and homotetramer formation like γ-globin chains which contain 116 Ile. Assembly rates in vitro of β116Ileor β112Thr,116Ilechains with α chains were 340-fold slower, while β116Aspchains promoted assembly compared to normal β-globin chains. These results indicate that amino acid hydrophobicity at the G-18 position in non-α chains plays a key role in homotetramer, dimer, and monomer formation, which in turn plays a critical role in assembly with α chains to form Hb A and Hb F. These results also suggest that stable dimer formation of γ-globin chains must not occur in vivo,since this would inhibit association with α chains to form Hb F. The role of β116His(G-18) in heterotetramer-induced stabilization of the bond with oxygen in hemoglobin was also assessed by evaluating autoxidation rates using recombinant Hb tetramers containing these variant globin chains. Autoxidation rates of α2β2116Aspand α2β2116Iletetramers showed biphasic kinetics with the faster rate due to α chain oxidation and the slower to the β chain variants whose rates were 1.5-fold faster than that of normal β-globin chains. In addition, NMR spectra of the heme area of these two hemoglobin variant tetramers showed similar resonance peaks, which are different from those of Hb A. Oxygen-binding properties of α2β2116His→Aspand α2β2116His→Ile, however, showed slight alteration compared to Hb A. These results suggest that the β116 amino acid (G18) plays a critical role in not only stabilizing α1β1 interactions but also in inhibiting hemoglobin oxidation. However, stabilization of the bonds between oxygen and heme may not be dependent on stabilization of α1β1 interactions. Tertiary structural changes may lead to changes in the heme region in β chains after assembly with α chains, which could influence stability of dioxygen binding of β chains.
