Ranjit Chatterjee, Roxanne Y. Walder, Arthur Arnone, and Joseph A. Walder*’1 abstract: In a previous publication [Walder, J. A., Walder, R. Y., & Arnone, A.(1980) J. Mol. Biol. 141, 195-216], we showed that bis (3, 5-dibromosalicyl) fumarate reacts selectively with oxyhemoglobinat the 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate binding site to cross-link the/3 chains of the tetramer between Lys-82/3 [and Lys-82/32. This chemical modification markedly increases the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S and is therefore of po-tential clinical value in the management of sickle cell disease. By crystallographic analysis of the cross-linked derivative in the deoxy form, we showed that this modification causes Lys-82/3 and the neighboring/3-chain residues (specifically Phe-85/3 and Leu-88/3 which form the acceptor site for Val-6 within the deoxyhemoglobin S fiber) to be pulledinward to-ward the central cavity of the tetramer. No alterations in the structure were observed in the region of the mutation site in hemoglobin S, residue 6/3. These results suggested that there is a direct relationship between the magnitude of the perturbation of the acceptor site and the increase in the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S which results from cross-linking the two lysine residues. To test this hypothesis, we have compared the structures of deoxyhemoglobin A cross-linked by bis (3, 5-di-bromosalicyl) succinate (C4), bis (3, 5-dibromosalicyl) glutarate (C5), and bis (3, 5-dibromosalicyl) adipate (C6) and the solu-bilities of the corresponding derivatives of deoxyhemoglobin S. As the length of the bridging group is increased, there is a progressive decrease in the movement of Lys-82/3 toward the central cavity and in the accompanying perturbation of the acceptor site for Val-6. Correspondingly, the solubility of the C4-cross-linked derivative is increasedby the largest amount (nearly 50%), and as the cross-link is increased in length, the solubility decreases, approaching that of native deoxyhemoglobin S. To complete the analysis of the stereochemistry of the reaction pathway, we have determined the effect of the cross-link on the structure in the liganded quaternary state by using CO-/34 as a model of normal liganded a2/32 tetrameric hemoglobins. The results of these studies indicate that the fumaryl group is able to span the two lysine residues in oxy-hemoglobin without perturbing thestructure of the protein. The structural correlations arrived at in this work provide important constraints for the design of new antisickling com-pounds. e molecular basis for sickle cell disease is a single point mutation within the hemoglobin molecule; glutamic acid at the sixth position of the/3 chains is replaced by valine. This mutation has relatively little effect on the functional properties of hemoglobin but does markedly reduce its solubility in the deoxy form (Perutz et al., 1951). Under physiological con-ditions, deoxyhemoglobin S initially precipitates from solution in the form of extended helical fibers. Within the erythrocyte, these fibers tend to align parallel to one another to form large aggregates which distort the morphology of the cell, giving rise to a variety of abnormal shapes, most characteristically the sickled form. These abnormally shaped cells are less deformable than the normal erythrocyte and are responsible for thevaso-occlusive complications of the disease. Knowledge of the pathogenesis of sickle cell disease has led to manyefforts to design reagents that would interfere with the polymerization of deoxyhemoglobin S either by covalently
