Alteration of the α(1)β(2)/α(2)β(1) subunit interface contributes to the increased hemoglobin-oxygen affinity of high-altitude deer mice

BACKGROUND: Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) that are native to high altitudes in the Rocky Mountains have evolved hemoglobins with an increased oxygen-binding affinity relative to those of lowland conspecifics. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the evolved increase in hemoglob...
