ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.342
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Anaerobilin synthase.
|
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + protoheme + 2 reduced flavodoxin <=> S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + L-methionine + 5'-deoxyadenosine + anaerobilin + Fe(2+) + 2 oxidized flavodoxin |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme, studied from the bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7, is a
radical SAM (AdoMet) enzyme that is involved in heme degradation and
iron utilization under anaerobic conditions.
- The enzyme uses two SAM molecules for the reaction.
- The first molecule is used to generate a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical,
which abstracts a hydrogen atom from the methyl group of the second
SAM molecule.
- The newly formed methylene radical attacks the substrate, causing a
rearrangement of the porphyrin ring that results in the liberation of
iron.
