Pathological significance of heme oxygenase-1 as a potential tumor promoter in heme-induced colorectal carcinogenesis [PDF]
The significance of the heme-metabolizing enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been fully explored. HMOX1 cytoprotection is imperative to limit oxidative stress.

Structure and Function of the Bacterial Heterodimeric ABC Transporter CydDC: Stimulation of the ATPase Activity by Thiol and Heme Compounds [PDF]
In Escherichia coli, the biogenesis of both cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidases and periplasmic cytochromes requires the ABC- type cysteine/glutathione (GSH) transporter, CydDC.

Discovering How Heme Controls Genome Function Through Heme-omics
Summary: Protein ensembles control genome function by establishing, maintaining, and deconstructing cell-type-specific chromosomal landscapes. A plethora of small molecules orchestrate cellular functions and therefore may link physiological processes ...

Heme iron from meat and risk of colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis and a review of the mechanisms involved [PDF]
Red meat and processed meat intake is associated with a risk of colorectal cancer, a major cause of death in affluent countries. Epidemiological and experimental evidence supports the hypothesis that heme iron present in meat promotes colorectal cancer ...

New Marker of Colon Cancer Risk Associated with Heme Intake: 1,4-Dihydroxynonane Mercapturic Acid [PDF]
Background: Red meat consumption is associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. Animal studies show that heme, found in red meat, promotes preneoplastic lesions in the colon, probably due to the oxidative properties of this compound.

Distributions of particulate Heme b in the Atlantic and Southern Oceans - implications for electron transport in phytoplankton [PDF]
Concentrations of heme b, the iron-containing component of b-type hemoproteins, ranged from 500). High chl a:heme b ratios resulted from relative decreases in heme b, suggesting proteins such as cytochrome b6f, the core complex of photosystem II, and ...

Heme-Edge Residues Modulate Signal Transduction within a Bifunctional Homo-Dimeric Sensor Protein
Bifunctional enzymes, which contain two domains with opposing enzymatic activities, are widely distributed in bacteria, but the regulatory mechanism(s) that prevent futile cycling are still poorly understood.

HMOX1 gene promoter alleles and high HO-1 levels are associated with severe malaria in Gambian children. [PDF]
Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an essential enzyme induced by heme and multiple stimuli associated with critical illness. In humans, polymorphisms in the HMOX1 gene promoter may influence the magnitude of HO-1 expression.
