Erythropoiesis in the chick involves the synthesis of multiple hemoglobins. The hemoglobins found in the late embryo and in the adult chicken are called hemoglobins A and D, and the hemoglobins found in the early chick embryo are called hemoglobins E, P, and M. We have determined the peptide chain composition of the embryonic hemoglobins E and P. During the chromatographic separation of hemoglobins E and P from the red cell lysate of a 5-day embryo, a previously unsuspected hemoglobin (M) was discovered which appears to be present also in 7-day embryos.Using rabbit antisera against hemoglobins A and D, it was found that hemoglobin E was very similar antigenically to A and that hemoglobins M and D were also related, although not as closely as hemoglobins E and A. Comparison of peptide maps of theS-aminoethylated globins of A, D, E, P, and M confirmed these relationships.Hemoglobin E appears to contain the αachain of hemoglobin A, while the peptide map of the other (ε) chain bears some resemblance to that of the β chain of adult hemoglobin A. An amino acid analysis of A globin and its individual chains and of E globin and its individual chains confirmed that the α chains of hemoglobins A and E are very similar, if not identical, while the ε and β chains of these two hemoglobins differ.Hemoglobin P is composed of two closely related α-like chains, π and π′, and a β-like chain, ρ. The ρ and the ε chain share many common peptides on their peptide maps.Hemoglobin M contains the αdchain found in hemoglobin D, while the β-like chain of hemoglobin M resembles the ε chain of hemoglobin E.
