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.

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.

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 ...

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.
