Rabbit hemopexin cDNA was cloned from a rabbit liver lambda gt11 cDNA expression library using a mixture of five monoclonal antibodies raised against rabbit hemopexin, and the entire rabbit hemopexin sequence was determined. The heme-binding domain I of rabbit hemopexin (Smith, A., and Morgan, W. T. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 12049-12053) contains only 4 histidine residues which are conserved in rabbit, human, rat, and mouse hemopexin. The 2 axial heme-iron coordinating histidine residues, identified by Edman microsequencing and amino acid analyses of chemically modified domain I and isolated fragments of domain I, are the conserved histidine residues at positions 56 and 127 of the mature rabbit protein. The epitope recognized by JEN-14 (a monoclonal antibody which specifically reacts with domain I and blocks the hemopexin-receptor interaction (Morgan, W. T., Muster, P., Tatum, F. M., McConnell, J., Conway, T. P., Hensley, P., and Smith, A. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 8220-8225) was shown to lie between residues 122 and 142 by Western blotting of protease-digested domain I and transposon-insertion mutants of domain I expressed in a plasmid vector system. The location of this epitope near the heme-binding histidine residue 127 is compatible with a transport mechanism in which the release of heme from hemopexin is accompanied by a concomitant transfer of heme to the hemopexin receptor or the membrane heme-binding protein (Smith, A., and Morgan, W. T. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 8325-8329).

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
