Hemoglobins (Hb) play a critical role in satisfying the oxygen demand of vertebrate aerobic metabolism. The present study reports the characterization of the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Hb genes, including genomic organization, phylogeny, and spatio-temporal gene expression. These Hb genes are divided into two unlinked clusters, the “MN” cluster containing eleven genes (five Hbα genes named MN-Hbα1-5 and six Hbβ genes named MN-Hbβ1–6) and the “LA” cluster consisting of three genes (two Hbα genes named LA-Hbα1-2 and one Hbβ gene named LA-Hbβ1). Comparative analysis of Hb amino acid sequences indicates that most of the important amino acid residues involved in hemoglobin-oxygen binding, particularly in the Bohr and Root effects, are generally... |
