- Next, the side chains of the macrocycle are modified resulting in the intermediates coproporphyrinogen III (COPROGEN) and protoporphyrinogen IX (PROTOGEN). Subsequently, the ring system is aromatized giving protoporphyrin IX (PROTO). Finally, iron is inserted to yield heme.

Jul 19, 2022 · Primarily, the four acetate groups are decarboxylated into methyls by uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD, E.C. 4.1.1.37), turning uroporphyrinogen III into coproporphyrinogen III. Secondly, coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (CPO, E.C. 1.3.3.3) that localizes to the intermembrane space converts two out of four propionate residues into vinyls.
The final step of heme biosynthesis is the insertion of iron into protoporphyrin IX (OMIM 612386). This reaction is catalyzed by the mitochondrial enzyme ferrochelatase (see Fig. 1). Ferrochelatase utilizes protoporphyrin IX, rather than its reduced form, as substrate, but requires the reduced ferrous form of iron .

May 1, 2023 · The correct porphyrin ring III forms, and then the side chains of uroporphyrinogen III are modified, catalyzed by uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase to produce coproporphyrinogen III. Following its synthesis, coproporphyrinogen III gets transported into mitochondria.

Sep 5, 2018 · The general precursor molecule of all tetrapyrroles 5-aminolevulinic acid is formed by two different pathways starting either with glutamyl-tRNA or succinyl-CoA and glycine. The conversion of 5-aminolevulinic acid to uroporphyrinogen III is common to all biosynthetic paths.
May 24, 2010 · Depending on the organism, ALA is either synthesized by condensation of glycine with succinyl-CoA or from tRNA-bound glutamate via glutamate-1-semialdehyde. B: Uroporphyrinogen III is converted into heme in four consecutive enzymatic steps via the intermediates coproporphyrinogen III, protoporphyrinogen IX, and protoporphyrin IX.
