Computational modeling of the catalytic mechanism of hydroxymethylbilane synthase

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2019
Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), the third enzyme in the heme biosynthesis pathway, catalyzes the formation of 1-hydroxymethylbilane (HMB) by a stepwise polymerization of four molecules of porphobilinogen (PBG) using the dipyrromethane (DPM) cofactor.

Molecular analysis of the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene in Italian patients with acute intermittent porphyria: Report of four novel mutations

open access: yesHuman Mutation, 2000
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal disorder caused by molecular abnormalities in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene coding for the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway.

13C-N.M.R. Studies on the pyrromethane cofactor of hydroxymethylbilane synthase

Tetrahedron Letters, 1988
By growing Escherichiacoli in the presence of 5-amino [5-13C] laevulinic acid, the enzyme hydroxymethylbilane synthase is produced carrying 13C-labels in its pyrromethane cofactor. It is then proved by 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy that the cofactor is bound to the protein via the sulphur atom of a cysteine residue.

A splicing mutation in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene in a Japanese family with acute intermittent porphyria

Clinical Biochemistry, 1999
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by a decreased activity of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS). As far as the gene abnormalities of the HMBS, many different mutations have been reported. In this work, we investigated the presence of mutations in a Japanese family with AIP.A 44-year-old Japanese male ...

Hydroxymethylbilane Synthase Gene Mutations and Polymorphisms in Brazilian Families with Acute Intermittent Porphyria

Annals of Human Genetics, 2015
SummaryAcute intermittent porphyria (AIP), an autosomal dominant disorder, is caused by a deficiency of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS). In the present study, we sought to establish a correlation between HMBS activity with the presence of mutations and polymorphisms.

Molecular basis of acute intermittent porphyria: Mutations and polymorphisms in the human hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene

Human Mutation, 1994
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant inborn error of metabolism that results from the half-normal activity of the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway, hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMB-synthase). AIP is an ecogenetic condition, with life-threatening acute attacks precipitated by various factors including drugs, alcohol,

Detection of DNA variations in the polymorphic hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene by high-resolution melting analysis

Analytical Biochemistry, 2009
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) represents the most frequent type of acute porphyria. The underlying cause is a defect in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene. Diagnosis of AIP is crucial for preventing life-threatening, acute attacks among both symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers.

Comparative inhibition of hepatic hydroxymethylbilane synthase by both hard and soft metal cations

Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 1984
The in vitro inhibition of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (EC 4.3.1.8, uroporphyrinogen I synthetase) obtained from livers of Sprague–Dawley rats has been studied with a wide range of di- and tri-valent metal ions. After purification by cell lysis, heat treatment, and centrifugation, the stable, soluble enzyme yielded sigmoidal inhibition curves with ...
