ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.99.57

Accepted Name
heme oxygenase (mycobilin-producing)
Reaction catalysed
  • 3 AH2 + 2 H(+) + heme b + 3 O2 = 3 A + Fe(2+) + 3 H2O + mycobilin a
  • 3 AH2 + 2 H(+) + heme b + 3 O2 = 3 A + Fe(2+) + 3 H2O + mycobilin b
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is involved in heme degradation and iron utilization.
  • The enzyme binds two stacked protoheme molecules per monomer.
  • Unlike the canonical heme oxygenases, the enzyme does not release carbon monoxide or formaldehyde; instead, it forms unique products, named mycobilins, that retain the alpha-meso-carbon at the ring cleavage site as an aldehyde group.
  • EC 1.6.2.4 can act as electron donor in vitro.
