Oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX in Escherichia coli is mediated by the aerobic coproporphyrinogen oxidase.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 1 Jul 1999

Narita S, Taketani S, Inokuchi H

Abstract excerpt

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase, the penultimate enzyme involved in the biosynthetic pathway for heme, catalyzes the removal of six electrons from protoporphyrinogen IX to generate protoporphyrin IX. In Escherichia coli, this enzyme is encoded by the hemG gene. In this study we examined possible alternate pathways for the oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to protoporphyrin IX, by isolating and investigating E. coli...
