The binding of apotransferrin (80 kDa) to the transferrin receptor is known to be highly pH-dependent. We have investigated pH-induced structural changes in human serum apotransferrin over the pH* (meter reading in D2O solutions) range 2.5-11 using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The pKa values of 14 (possibly 15) of the 19 His residues in the protein have been determined as well as that of the terminal amino group (Val1, 7.75). About eight His residues deprotonate when the pH* is raised from the endosomal value of about 5.5 to the blood plasma value (7.4). Four His residues have pKa < 6. Sharp discontinuities in the His titration curves were observed below pH 4.3 and at pH 3.5 molten globule states were detected.
