Structural and functional diversities of the subunits of Panulirus japonicus (spiny lobster) hemocyanin were investigated. The hemocyanin mostly exists as a hexamer in the native state. It was found that the hemocyanin is composed of three major subunits (Ib, II and III) and one minor subunit (Ia), which differ in N-terminal sequence. In the dissociated state, the major subunits (Ib, II and III) showed no or very small Bohr effects. The O2 affinity of the subunit III was about three times as high as those of the other two.
The subunits could be reassociated into homogeneous and heterogeneous hexamers, which exhibited the cooperativity in O2 binding. The homohexamers were similar to each other in O2 affinity and the Bohr effect, though some differences were observed in the magnitude of the cooperativity. In particular, the subunit II homohexamer exhibited a high cooperativity, which was comparable to that of the native protein. The heterohexamers showed slightly higher O2 affinities and slightly lower cooperativity, as compared with the parent homohexamers.
It was concluded that there is no essential difference among the three major subunits of P. japonicus hemocyanin in the O2 binding and assembly properties.
