Ala, 81 Val-* Met, and the addition mutation 81+ Met), their assembly with heme and natural a chains into «282 tetramers, and their X-ray crystallographicstructures. Here we have measured the equilibrium and kinetic allosteric properties of these hemoglobins. Our objective has been to evaluate their utility as surrogates of normal hemoglobin from which further mutants can be made for structure-function studies. Thethermodynamic linkagesbetween cooperative oxygenation and dimer-tetramer assembly were determined from global regression analysis of multiple oxygenation isotherms measured over a range of hemoglobin concentration. Oxygen binding to the tetramers was found to be highly cooperative (maximum Hill slopes from 3.1 to 3.2), and similar patterns of 02-linkedsubunit assembly free energies indicated a common mode of cooperative switching at the a’82 interface. The dimers were found to exhibit the same noncooperative 02 equilibrium binding properties as normal hemoglobin. The most obvious difference in oxygen equilibria between the mutant recombinant and normal hemoglobins was a slightly lowered 02 affinity. The kinetics of CO binding and 02 dissociation were measured by stopped-flow and flash photolysis techniques. Parallel studies were carried out with the mutant and normal hemoglobins in the presence and absence of organic phosphates to assess their allosteric response to phosphates. In the absence of organic phosphates, the CO-binding and 02 dissociation kinetic properties of the muant dimers and tetramers were found to be nearly identical to those of normal hemoglobin. However, the effects of organic phosphates on CO-binding kinetic properties of the mutants were not uniform: the 81+ Met mutant was found to deviate somewhat from normalcy, while the 81 Val-*· Met mutant reproduced the native allosteric response. Further characterization of the allosteric properties of the 81 Val-» Met mutant was made by measuring the pH dependence of its overall oxygen affinity by tonometry. Regulation of oxygen affinity by protons was found to be nearly identical to normal hemoglobin from pH 5.8 to 9.3 (0.52±0.07 protons released per oxygen bound at pH 7.4). The present study demonstrates that the equilibrium and kinetic functional properties of the recombinant 81 Val-*·
