Enzymes of heme metabolism is the kidney. Regulation by trace metals which do not form heme complexes
The in vivo regulation by metal ions of the enzymes of heme metabolism in kidney-particularly of ALAS, the rate-limiting enzyme in heine formation- was investigated. Ni(2+) and Pt(4+), metals which do not enzymatically form metalloporphyrins, were found to regulate ALAS in kidney as they do in liver. The pattern of this regulation was generally similar to that observed with heme and metal ions ...
متن کاملHeme metabolism enzymes are dynamically expressed during Xenopus embryonic development.
As the key component of many hemoproteins (heme-containing proteins), heme is involved in a broad range of biological processes. Enzymes required for heme biosynthesis and degradation pathways are evolutionarily conserved. While heme metabolism has been studied extensively, the expression of heme metabolism enzymes during development has not been described. Here, we report that all heme biosynt...
متن کاملNon-heme iron enzymes: contrasts to heme catalysis.
Non-heme iron enzymes catalyze a wide range of O(2) reactions, paralleling those of heme systems. Non-heme iron active sites are, however, much more difficult to study because they do not exhibit the intense spectral features characteristic of the porphyrin ligand. A spectroscopic methodology was developed that provides significant mechanistic insight into the reactivity of non-heme ferrous act...
متن کاملRegulation of the heme A biosynthetic pathway: differential regulation of heme A synthase and heme O synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The assembly and activity of cytochrome c oxidase is dependent on the availability of heme A, one of its essential cofactors. In eukaryotes, two inner mitochondrial membrane proteins, heme O synthase (Cox10) and heme A synthase (Cox15), are required for heme A biosynthesis. In this report, we demonstrate that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the transcription of COX15 is regulated by Hap1, a transcr...
متن کاملRegulation of heme biosynthesis in Salmonella typhimurium: activity of glutamyl-tRNA reductase (HemA) is greatly elevated during heme limitation by a mechanism which increases abundance of the protein.
In Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, the hemA gene encodes the enzyme glutamyl-tRNA reductase, which catalyzes the first committed step in heme biosynthesis. We report that when heme limitation is imposed on cultures of S. typhimurium, glutamyl-tRNA reductase (HemA) enzyme activity is increased 10- to 25-fold. Heme limitation was achieved by a complete starvation for heme in hemB, he...
