Branchiopod crustaceans are endowed with extracellular, high-molecular-mass hemoglobins (Hbs), the functional and allosteric properties of which have largely remained obscure. The Hb of the phylogenetically ancientTri-ops cancriformis(Notostraca) revealed moderate oxygen affinity, coopera-tivity and pH dependence (Bohr effect) coefficients: P50¼ mmHg, n50¼, andu¼), at 20 C and pH in Tris buffer.

Analysis of cooperative oxygen binding in terms of the nested Monod-Wyman-Changeux MWC model revealed an allosteric unit of four oxygen-binding sites and functional coupling of two to three allosteric units. The predicted 2 X 4 and 3 X 4 nested structures are in accord with stoichiometric models of the quarternary structure. The allosteric control mechanism of protons comprises a left shift of the upper asymptote of extended Hill plots which is ascribable to the displacement of the equilibrium between at least two high-affinity relaxed states similar to that found in extracellular annelid and pulmonate molluscan Hbs. Remarkably Mg2 ions increased oxygen affinity solely by displacing the equilibrium between the tense and
