Heme is synthesized through a well conserved and established heme biosynthetic pathway in all eukaryotes and most prokaryotes. Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), also known as porphobilinogen deaminase (HMBS; EC 2.5.1.61), is the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the stepwise polymerization of four molecules of porphobilinogen (PBG) into the linear tetrapyrrole, 1-hydroxymethylbilane (HMB). In yeast, apart from 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), HMBS has been proposed to play a rate limiting role in the heme biosynthetic pathway. In humans, mutations of HMBS have been linked to acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). In vitro studies on HMBS have suggested certain residues with catalytic importance, but their specific role in the catalysis and the chain elongation is unclear. In the current thesis, classical and quantum mechanical calculations have been used to understand the structural dynamics and catalytic mechanism of HMBS. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the E. coli HMBS through the different stages of pyrrole chain elongation suggested the importance of domain movements and the active site loop movement in the polymerization of four units of PBG. However, in the human HMBS (hHMBS), an additional 29-residue insert wedged between domains 1 and 3 prevents the domain motions. In hHMBS, the cofactor turn movement along with minor domain motions provides space for the addition of first two PBG moieties to the dipyrromethane cofactor, while the movement of the active-site loop away from the active- site region facilitates the accommodation of the next two PBG moieties. Residues R26, D99 and R167 are proposed to be important for the catalysis based on MD simulations and earlier hypothesis. The findings from MD simulations provide a basis to study the catalytic mechanism using quantum mechanical (QM) and QM/MM calculations. The QM calculations were performed on a cluster model consisting of the active site of hHMBS vi enzyme. The addition of one molecule of PBG to the cofactor is carried out in four steps: (1) protonation of the PBG substrate; (2) deamination of PBG; (3) electrophilic addition of the deaminated substrate to the terminal pyrrole ring of the enzyme-bound cofactor and (4) deprotonation at the carbon atom at the α-position of the penultimate ring. The rate limiting step for the complete mechanism was found to be the deamination of the PBG moiety. The QM/MM calculations demonstrated the significance of protein environment in obtaining accurate energies for the catalytic mechanism. The findings from this study provide a detailed understanding of the chain elongation mechanism using multi-scale modeling and would assist in future work aimed at modulating the activity of HMBS. vii Contents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..............................................................................................

  • Hyperbilirubinemia
    Porphyrins Porphyrins (Porphins) are cyclic tetrapyrol compounds formed by the linkage )). of four pyrrole rings through methenyl bridges (( HC In the reduced porphyrins (Porphyrinogens) the linkage of four pyrrole rings (tetrapyrol) through methylene bridges (( CH2 )) The characteristic property of porphyrins is the formation of complexes with the metal ion bound to nitrogen atoms of the pyrrole rings. e.g. Heme (iron porphyrin). Proteins which contain heme ((hemoproteins)) are widely distributed e.g. Hemoglobin, Myoglobin, Cytochromes, Catalase & Tryptophan pyrrolase. Natural porphyrins have substituent side chains on the eight hydrogen atoms numbered on the pyrrole rings. These side chains are: CH 1-Methyl-group (M)… (( 3 )) 2-Acetate-group (A)… (( CH2COOH )) 3-Propionate-group (P)… (( CH2CH2COOH )) 4-Vinyl-group (V)… (( CH CH2 )) Porphyrins with asymmetric arrangement of the side chains are classified as type III porphyrins while those with symmetric arrangement of the side chains are classified as type I porphyrins. Only types I & III are present in nature & type III series is more important because it includes heme. 1 Heme Biosynthesis Heme biosynthesis occurs through the following steps: 1-The starting reaction is the condensation between succinyl-CoA ((derived from citric acid cycle in the mitochondria)) & glycine, this reaction is a rate limiting reaction in the hepatic heme synthesis, it occurs in the mitochondria & is catalyzed by ALA synthase (Aminolevulinate synthase) enzyme in the presence of pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. The product of this reaction is α-amino-β-ketoadipate which is rapidly decarboxylated to form δ-aminolevulinate (ALA). 2-In the cytoplasm condensation reaction between two molecules of ALA is catalyzed by ALA dehydratase enzyme to form two molecules of water & one 2 molecule of porphobilinogen (PBG) which is a precursor of pyrrole.

  • Porphyrins & Bile Pigments
    Bio. 2. ASPU. Lectu.6. Prof. Dr. F. ALQuobaili Porphyrins & Bile Pigments • Biomedical Importance These topics are closely related, because heme is synthesized from porphyrins and iron, and the products of degradation of heme are the bile pigments and iron. Knowledge of the biochemistry of the porphyrins and of heme is basic to understanding the varied functions of hemoproteins in the body. The porphyrias are a group of diseases caused by abnormalities in the pathway of biosynthesis of the various porphyrins. A much more prevalent clinical condition is jaundice, due to elevation of bilirubin in the plasma, due to overproduction of bilirubin or to failure of its excretion and is seen in numerous diseases ranging from hemolytic anemias to viral hepatitis and to cancer of the pancreas. • Metalloporphyrins & Hemoproteins Are Important in Nature Porphyrins are cyclic compounds formed by the linkage of four pyrrole rings through methyne (==HC—) bridges. A characteristic property of the porphyrins is the formation of complexes with metal ions bound to the nitrogen atom of the pyrrole rings. Examples are the iron porphyrins such as heme of hemoglobin and the magnesium‐containing porphyrin chlorophyll, the photosynthetic pigment of plants. • Natural Porphyrins Have Substituent Side Chains on the Porphin Nucleus The porphyrins found in nature are compounds in which various side chains are substituted for the eight hydrogen atoms numbered in the porphyrin nucleus. As a simple means of showing these substitutions, Fischer proposed a shorthand formula in which the methyne bridges are omitted and a porphyrin with this type of asymmetric substitution is classified as a type III porphyrin.

  • UROPORPHYRINOGEN HII COSYNTHETASE in HUMAN Hemolysates from Five Patientswith Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyriawas Much Lower
    UROPORPHYRINOGEN HII COSYNTHETASE IN HUMAN CONGENITAL ERYTHROPOIETIC PORPHYRIA * BY GIOVANNI ROMEO AND EPHRAIM Y. LEVIN DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS, THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Communicated by William L. Straus, Jr., April 24, 1969 Abstract.-Activity of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen III cosynthetase in hemolysates from five patients with congenital erythropoietic porphyria was much lower than the activity in control samples. The low cosynthetase activity in patients was not due to the presence of a free inhibitor or some competing en- zymatic activity, because hemolysates from porphyric subjects did not interfere either with the cosynthetase activity of hemolysates from normal subjects or with cosynthetase prepared from hematopoietic mouse spleen. This partial deficiency of cosynthetase in congenital erythropoietic porphyria corresponds to that shown previously in the clinically similar erythropoietic porphyria of cattle and explains the overproduction of uroporphyrin I in the human disease. Erythropoietic porphyria is a rare congenital disorder of man and cattle, characterized by photosensitivity, erythrodontia, hemolytic anemia, and por- phyrinuria.1 Many of the clinical manifestations of the disease can be explained by the production in marrow, deposition in tissues, and excretion in the urine and feces, of large amounts of uroporphyrin I and coproporphyrin I, which are products of the spontaneous oxidation of uroporphyrinogen I and its decarboxyl- ated derivative, coproporphyrinogen I. In cattle, the condition is inherited
