EC 1.14.15.20 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.14.15.20

Accepted name

heme oxygenase (biliverdin-producing, ferredoxin)

Reaction

protoheme + 6 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 3 O₂ + 6 H⁺ = biliverdin + Fe²⁺ + CO + 6 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 3 H₂O

Other name(s)

HO1 (gene name), HY1 (gene name), HO3 (gene name), HO4 (gene name), pbsA1 (gene name)

Systematic name

protoheme,reduced ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (α-methene-oxidizing, hydroxylating)

Comment

The enzyme, found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, participates in the biosynthesis of phytochromobilin and phytobilins. The terminal oxygen atoms that are incorporated into the carbonyl groups of pyrrole rings A and B of biliverdin are derived from two separate oxygen molecules. The third oxygen molecule provides the oxygen atom that converts the α-carbon to CO. Unlike this enzyme, which uses ferredoxin as its electron donor, the electron source for the related mammalian enzyme (EC 1.14.14.18) is EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH—hemoprotein reductase.
