Decoupling Activation of Heme Biosynthesis from Anaerobic Toxicity in a Molecule Active in Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesACS Chemical Biology, 2016
Small molecules active in the pathogenic bacterium Staphylococcus aureus are valuable tools for the study of its basic biology and pathogenesis, and many molecules may provide leads for novel therapeutics. We have previously reported a small molecule, 1,

The Regulation of Heme Turnover and Carbon Monoxide Biosynthesis in Cultured Primary Rat Olfactory Receptor Neurons

open access: yes, 1996
Heme oxygenase (HO) converts heme to carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin, which is metabolized rapidly to bilirubin. CO is implicated as an intercellular messenger, whereas bilirubin could function as an antioxidant.

Data_Sheet_1_Active Turnover of Heme in Hibernation Period in Mammals.DOCX

open access: yes, 2020
Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 plays an important role during hibernation by catalyzing the degradation of heme to biliverdin/bilirubin, ferrous iron, and carbon monoxide, which activates the protective mechanisms against stress. In this context, it was important

Ginsenoside Rh1 Attenuates Alzheimer's Disease‐Like Deficits by Modulating Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction via SIRT1‐Related Signaling

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Rh1 attenuates oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction through SIRT1‐related signaling. ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with limited therapeutic options. Ginsenoside Rh1 has been reported to possess neuroprotective properties, yet its specific role and underlying mechanisms in AD are not fully ...

Regulation of Heme Biosynthesis in Neurospora crassa

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1969
Abstract The mold Neurospora crassa does not accumulate porphyrins in iron deficiency but instead accumulates the sideramine desferricoprogen. In iron deficiency there is an accumulation of δ-aminolevulinic acid and the δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase level is very low. A similar situation exists in cobalt toxicity and zinc deficiency.

Creation of novel pharmacological tools in heme oxygenase research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Aims: While great strides have been made in the elucidation of the physiological and pharmacological roles of heme oxygenases (HO) in experimental animals and humans, there is still an enormous potential for further research discoveries and their ...

SiaA: A Heme Protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The protein SiaA (Streptococcal iron acquisition) is involved in heme uptake in the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes. It is difficult to obtain this protein in its fully holo form (completely loaded with heme).

Biopolymer‐Based Polyelectrolyte Nanoplatforms for Targeted Photodynamic Therapy of Breast Cancer

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Illustration of the synthesis of 5‐aminolevulinic acid loaded chitosan‐sericin polyelectrolyte nanoparticles (CSSN/ALA NPs) using the Flash nanocomplexation (FNC) technique and their potential in photodynamic therapy (PDT) against breast cancer (BC). Abstract Nanomedicine has reshaped healthcare, especially in targeted drug delivery systems (DDSs) and ...

Heme Biosynthesis in Copper Deficient Swine

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1968
SummaryThe steps in the heme biosynthetic pathway were evaluated in normal and in copper deficient swine. As anemia developed, the activity of heme biosynthetic enzymes increased. These data suggest that the anemia of copper deficiency is not the result of defective heme biosynthesis and, therefore, that copper is not a cofactor in any of the reactions

Heme a Biosynthesis and Trafficking in the Mitochondria

open access: yes, 2017
Heme is an essential molecule for many cellular functions. However, due to its labile state, tight regulation of its synthesis and trafficking is necessary to prevent the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species.
