Abstract

The problem as to whether iodohistidines are normally biosynthetized in thyroglobulin and thyralbumin has been examined both in man and the rat. Evidence has been obtained for the first time that diiodohistidine (DIH) is present in both species in these two iodoproteins. The biosynthesis of monoiodohistidine (MIH) in the thyroglobulin of the normal rat has been confirmed and extended to rat thyralbumin and to human thyroid iodoproteins.

The iodohistidine identification is based on five original methods including: (a) the preparation of stable and radioiodine-labeled iodohistidines; (b) the protection of the labile iodohistidines during the iodoprotein enzymatic hydrolysis; (c) the isolation of iodohistidines by ion-exchange resin chromatography; (d) their separation from each other and from iodinated cationic butanol-insoluble compounds by Sephadex G-10 chromatography; and (e) their purification by successive crystallizations to a constant specific activity.

Iodohistidine levels (in percent of protein radioactivity from iodide given in vivo) were found comparable in man and the rat. However, the values (mean ±SE) for thyroglobulin (MIH, 0.61±0.10%; DIH, 0.050±0.015%) and for thyralbumin (MIH, 2.61±0.57%; DIH, 0.28±0.09%) differ significantly (P < 0.05).

Iodohistidines are stable during in vitro exposure to iodotyrosine dehalogenase preparations. In contrast to iodotyrosines the iodohistidines when given in vivo to man either orally or intravenously were in large part recovered in 24-h urines.
