High-valent iron(IV)-oxo complexes of heme and non-heme ligands in oxygenation reactions.

High-valent iron(IV)-oxo species have been implicated as the key reactive intermediates in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activation by heme and non-heme iron enzymes. Our understanding of the enzymatic reactions has improved greatly via investigation of spectroscopic and chemical properties of heme and non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complexes. In this Account, reactivities of synthetic iron(IV)-oxo p...

Features of the reaction of heme degradation catalyzed by the reconstituted microsomal heme oxygenase system.

The heme oxygenase system was reconstituted from a heme oxygenase preparation highly purified from pig spleen microsomes and a partially purified NADPHcytochrome c reductase from pig liver microsomes. In the reconstituted heme oxygenase reaction, the relationship between the rate of heme degradation and the heme concentration was sigmoidal, and the heme concentration which gave the half-maximum...

A novel heme-regulatory motif mediates heme-dependent degradation of the circadian factor period 2.

Although efforts have been made to identify circadian-controlled genes regulating cell cycle progression and cell death, little is known about the metabolic signals modulating circadian regulation of gene expression. We identify heme, an iron-containing prosthetic group, as a regulatory ligand controlling human Period-2 (hPer2) stability. Furthermore, we define a novel heme-regulatory motif wit...

Heme Exporter FLVCR1a Regulates Heme Synthesis and Degradation and Controls Activity of Cytochromes P450

BACKGROUND & AIMS The liver has one of the highest rates of heme synthesis of any organ. More than 50% of the heme synthesized in the liver is used for synthesis of P450 enzymes, which metabolize exogenous and endogenous compounds that include natural products, hormones, drugs, and carcinogens. Feline leukemia virus subgroup C cellular receptor 1a (FLVCR1a) is plasma membrane heme exporter that...

Impact of Heme and Heme Degradation Products on Vascular Diameter in Mouse Visual Cortex

BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral vasospasm is the most common cause of mortality and severe neurological impairment in patients who survive subarachnoid hemorrhage. Despite improvements in the field of diagnostic imaging, options for prevention and medical treatment-primarily with the calcium channel antagonist nimodipine or hemodynamic manipulations-are insufficient. Previous studies have suggested...
