摘要
Purpose of review The present article reviews recent data concerning the structure and function of the Rh-associated glycoprotein (RhAG) and considers what can be inferred about the structure and functional significance of the D and CE polypeptides. Recent findings The structure of a bacterial RhAG (from Nitrosomonas europaea) has been solved and its gas channel elucidated. This information allows us to model a more accurate structure of RhD and RhCE polypeptides than has been possible hitherto. Human RhAG has been shown to act as a gas channel for CO2. Summary Elucidation of the structure of a bacterial RhAG allows us to model the structure of D and CE polypeptides more accurately than before. Results suggest that whereas RhAG has a channel for passage of neutral gases (CO2, NH3 and possibly oxygen and nitric oxide), D and CE polypeptides are unlikely to have a transport function.
