| Abstract | The linkage of pair-wise interactions of contact site mutations of HbS has been studied using Le Lamentin [His-20 (α)→Gln], Hoshida [Glu-43 (β)→Gln] and α$_{2}$β 2 T87Q mutations as the prototype of three distinct classes of contact sites of deoxy HbS fiber. Binary mixture experiments established that β$^{A}$-chain with the Thr-87 (β)→Gln mutation is as potent as the γ-chain of HbF (α$_{2}$γ$_{2}$) in inhibiting polymerization. On combining the influence of Le Lamentin mutation with that of β 2 T87Q mutations; the net influence is only partial additivity. On the other hand, in binary mixture studies, combined influence of Hoshida mutation with that of β 2 T87Q mutations is synergistic. Besides, a significant level of synergistic complementation is also seen when the Le Lamentin and Hoshida mutations are combined in HbS (symmetrical tetramers). Le Lamentin and Hoshida mutation introduced into the cis-dimer of the asymmetric hybrid tetramer completely neutralizes the Val-6 (β) dependent polymerization. Accordingly, we propose that combining the perturbation of intra-double strand contact site with that of an inter-double strand contact site exhibit synergy when they are present in two different chains of the αβ dimer. A comparison of the present results with that of the earlier studies suggest that when the two contact site perturbations are from the same sub-unit of the αβ dimer only partial additivity is observed. The map of interaction linkage of the contact site mutations exposes new strategies in the design of novel anti-sickling Hbs for the gene therapy of sickle cell disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
