The oxygen-independent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase HemN utilizes harderoporphyrinogen as a reaction intermediate during conversion of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX [PDF]
, 2010 During heme biosynthesis the oxygen-independent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase HemN catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of the two propionate side chains on rings A and B of coproporphyrinogen III to the corresponding vinyl groups to yield ...

Iron Necessity: The Secret of Wolbachia's Success? [PDF]
, 2014 The bacterium Wolbachia (order Rickettsiales) is probably the world's most successful vertically-transmitted symbiont, distributed among a staggering 40% of terrestrial arthropod species. Wolbachia has great potential in vector control due to its ability

Effects of Oxygen Limitation on the Biosynthesis of Photo Pigments in the Red Microalgae Galdieria sulphuraria Strain 074G. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 As a consequence of the inhibition of one of the steps in the biosynthesis of the photopigments chlorophyll and phycobilin, the red microalga Galdieria partita excretes coproporphyrinogen III in the medium when growing on glucose.

A protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene expression influences responses of transgenic rice to oxyfluorfen
Biologia Plantarum, 2017 We compared the defense against photoinhibitions and oxidative stress in transgenic rice expressing a modified Myxococcus xanthus protoporphyrinogen oxidase (MxProtox) gene and in wild-type (WT) rice.

Patterns in evolutionary origins of heme, chlorophyll a and isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic pathways suggest non-photosynthetic periods prior to plastid replacements in dinoflagellates [PDF]
, 2018 BackgroundThe ancestral dinoflagellate most likely established a peridinin-containing plastid, which have been inherited in the extant photosynthetic descendants.

Deconvoluting heme biosynthesis to target blood-stage malaria parasites [PDF]
, 2015 Heme metabolism is central to blood-stage infection by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Parasites retain a heme biosynthesis pathway but do not require its activity during infection of heme-rich erythrocytes, where they can scavenge host heme ...

Differential gene expression in the murine gastric fundus lacking interstitial cells of Cajal. [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: The muscle layers of murine gastric fundus have no interstitial cells of Cajal at the level of the myenteric plexus and only possess intramuscular interstitial cells and this tissue does not generate electric slow waves.
