| UniProt functional annotation for P32396 | |||
| UniProt code: P32396. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Involved in coproporphyrin-dependent heme b biosynthesis (PubMed:25646457, PubMed:25908396). Catalyzes the insertion of ferrous iron into coproporphyrin III to form Fe-coproporphyrin III (PubMed:25646457, PubMed:25908396). It can also insert iron into protoporphyrin IX (PubMed:1459957, PubMed:8119288, PubMed:21052751, PubMed:25646457). Has weaker activity with 2,4 disulfonate, deuteroporphyrin and 2,4 hydroxyethyl (PubMed:25646457, PubMed:12761666). In vitro, can also use Zn(2+) or Cu(2+) (PubMed:8119288, PubMed:16140324, PubMed:21052751, PubMed:12761666). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12761666, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1459957, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16140324, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21052751, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25646457, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25908396, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8119288}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Fe-coproporphyrin III + 2 H(+) = coproporphyrin III + Fe(2+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:49572, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29033, ChEBI:CHEBI:68438, ChEBI:CHEBI:131725; EC=4.99.1.9; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00323, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25646457, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25908396}; PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:49573; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00323, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25646457, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25908396}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Stimulated by Mg(2+) (PubMed:12761666). Inhibited by Cd(2+) (PubMed:12761666). Inhibited by N-methylmesoporphyrin (N- MeMP) and 2,4-disulfonic acid deuteroporphyrin IX (dSDP) (PubMed:10704318, PubMed:16140324, PubMed:18423489). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10704318, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12761666, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16140324, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18423489}. | |
