Their importance to structure-function studies of heme proteins lies in the fact that they have been shown to possess an exceptional amino acid substitution. In these proteins, the E-7position is occupied by leucine rather than the more common distal histidine. This substitution alters the polarity of the heme ligand binding environment compared to myoglobin. Due to this, the G. dibranchiata monomer hemoglobins are attracting much attention. However, until now no purity criterion has been developed. Here we demonstrate that, for all of the Glycera monomer hemoglobins, multiple line patterns are shown on high-voltage isoelectric focusing (IEF) gels. Most of these lines are shown to be a consequence of heme-related phenomena and can be understood on the basis of changes in oxidation and ligation state of the heme iron. The multiple line pattern does not indicate significant impurities in the monomer hemoglobin preparations. Similar behavior is also demonstrated for horse heart myoglobin. The multiple line patterns on IEF gels disappear when gels of the apoproteins alone are focused. Single bands occur in this case for all of the monomer hemoglobins except component II, which displaystwo bands, one major and one minor. The minor band is found to be a modified apoprotein form. It is sensitive to apoprotein handlingprior to focusing and depends upon whether the IEF gel is prefocused or not. From this analysis, IEF is shown to be a valuable purity criterion, and the purity of our monomer hemoglobin component II preparation is 97% one globin. Establishing the purity of the monomer component II hemoglobin is important for interpreting the hyperfine proton NMR shift pattern of the met (aquo) form of this component. The NMR results show that two types of spectroscopic heterogeneity are also presentin component II, and these are unrelated to the protein purity. One of these is accounted for by heme isomerism, or positional reversal within the heme pocket. The second is due to the adoption of multiple positions by a phenylalanine ring at position CD1 in the globin II primary sequence.Glycera dibranchiata, a marine annelid, possesses hemoglobin in nucleated erythrocytes. The total hemoglobin content of these cells is separable into polymeric and monomeric forms by gel filtration (Vinogradov et al, 1970), and the monomer fraction is further resolvable into five hemoglobins (Kandler & Satterlee, 1983; Kandler et al., 1984; Cooke & Wright, 1985a). The importance of this monomer hemoglobin fraction resides in the fact that a protein was crystallized from it which both sequencing (Imamura et al., 1972) and crystallography (Padlan & Love, 1974) agree has the exceptional replacement of histidine E-7 (distal histidine) by leucine. In view of the
