Abstract

Structural analysis of a fast-moving hemoglobin variant, present in three members of a Qatari family, identified a Val → Glu substitution at position 1 (NA1) of the β-chain. The introduction of this glutamic acid residue prevents the removal of the initiator methione, thus extending the N-terminus by one residue to Met-Glu-His-Leu-Thr-. THe methionine residue is blocked by an as yet not completely identified molecule. The presence of the variant in a heterozygote does not have clinical consequences.
