Human Plasma and Recombinant Hemopexins: Heme Binding Revisited

Abstract: Plasma hemopexin (HPX) is the key antioxidant protein of the endogenous clearance pathway that limits the deleterious effects of heme released from hemoglobin and myoglobin (the term “heme” is used in this article to denote both the ferrous and ferric forms). During intra-vascular hemolysis, heme partitioning to protein and lipid increases as the plasma concentration of HPX declines. Therefore, the development of HPX as a replacement therapy during high heme stress could be a relevant intervention for hemolytic disorders. A logical approach to enhance HPX yield involves recombinant production strategies from human cell lines. The present study focuses on a biophysical assessment of heme binding to recombinant human HPX (rhHPX) produced in the Expi293FTM (HEK293) cell system. -

Clotting Phenomena at the Blood-Polymer Interface and Development of Blood Compatible Polymeric Surfaces
Clotting Phenomena at the Blood-Polymer Interface and Development of Blood Compatible Polymeric Surfaces Adriaan Bantjes In the past two decades many attempts have been made to relate surface and interfacial parameters with the blood compatibility of polymeric surfaces. It is however doubtful if by a single parameter the behaviour of blood on a surface can be predicted. Two major aspects of blood compatibility -- the prevention of platelet adhesion and the deactivation of the intrinsic coagulation system are determined by the measure and nature of competi- tive blood protein adsorption on the foreign surface. The adhesion of blood platelets is promoted by adsorbed fibrinogen and gamma globulin, while adsorbed albumin inhibits platelct adhesion. Heparinised surfaces do not adsorb fibrin and consequently no adhesion of platelets takes place. Othcr surfaces with low platelct adhesion are the hydrogels, certain block copolyetherurethanes, polyelectrolyte complexes and biolised proteins. Heparinised surfaces of the cationically bonded type inhibit the intrinsic coagulation as well, however this may be due to unstable coatings and heparin leakage. In the authors laboratory a synthetic heparinoid was prepared with the structure - [CH, - C(CH3) NHS03Na ~ C(H) COONa ~ CH2 --] with h, = (7.5 5 1 .O) x lo5 and an in vivo anticoagulant activity of 50% of heparin.

Their structure and aggregation behavior are key to their functionality in living organisms and in protein-rich products. Innovations, such as increased computer size and power, together with novel simulation tools have improved our understanding of protein structure-function relationships. This review focuses on various proteins present in plants and modeling tools that can be applied to better understand protein structures and their relationship to functionality, with particular emphasis on plant storage proteins. Modeling of plant proteins is increasing, but less than 9% of deposits in the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank come from plant proteins. Although, similar tools are applied as in other proteins, modeling of plant proteins is lagging behind and innovative methods are rarely used. Molecular dynamics and molecular docking are commonly used to evaluate differences in forms or mutants, and the impact on functionality. -
