Control of heme metabolism with synthetic metalloporphyrins.
Studies with synthetic metal-porphyrin complexes in which the central iron atom of heme is replaced by other elements indicate that those heme analogues that cannot be enzymatically degraded to bile pigments possess novel biological properties that may have considerable clinical as well as experimental value. Such studies have revealed the important role that the central metal atom plays in det...
متن کاملControl of heme and cytochrome P-450 metabolism by inorganic metals, organometals and synthetic metalloporphyrins.
The heme-cytochrome P-450 complexes represent sensitive metabolic systems for examining the biological impact of metals on important cellular functions. Many metals, both in the inorganic form and bound to organic moieties, potently induce heme oxygenase, the rate limiting enzyme of heme degradation. The resulting increase in the rate of heme breakdown is reflected in a marked depression of cel...
متن کاملHepatic Heme Metabolism and Its Control
This review summarizes heme metabolism and focuses especially upon the control of hepatic heme biosynthesis. Activity of δ-aminolevulinic acid synthetase, the first enzyme of heme biosynthesis, is of primary importance in controlling the overall activity of this biosynthetic pathway. Δ-aminolevulinic acid synthetase is subject to inhibition and repression by heme, and numerous basic and clinica...
متن کاملOxygen Activation and Radical Transformations in Heme Proteins and Metalloporphyrins
As a result of the adaptation of life to an aerobic environment, nature has evolved a panoply of metalloproteins for oxidative metabolism and protection against reactive oxygen species. Despite the diverse structures and functions of these proteins, they share common mechanistic grounds. An open-shell transition metal like iron or copper is employed to interact with O2 and its derived intermedi...
متن کاملSynthetic control of a fitness tradeoff in yeast nitrogen metabolism
BACKGROUND Microbial communities are involved in many processes relevant to industrial and medical biotechnology, such as the formation of biofilms, lignocellulosic degradation, and hydrogen production. The manipulation of synthetic and natural microbial communities and their underlying ecological parameters, such as fitness, evolvability, and variation, is an increasingly important area of res...
