Erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin [PDF]

open access: yesKidney International, 1999
In iron deficiency and lead poisoning, the enzyme ferrochelatase catalyzes the incorporation of zinc, instead of iron, into protoporphyrin IX, resulting in the formation of zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP). In healthy blood donors, there is a good inverse correlation between serum ferritin and ZPP levels.

Triplet state magnetic resonance and fluorescence spectroscopy of metal-substituted hemoglobins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Fluorescence detected magnetic resonance (FDMR) spectra detected at 596 nm of zinc-substituted hemoglobins at 4.2 K show a split D-E transition, which is not observed for zinc protoporphyrins ligated by methylimidazole in glasses.

Experiments with Protoporphyrin

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1946
Summary1. A simple method for the preparation of protoporphyrin from blood is described. 2. White rats were injected subcutaneously with protoporphyrin and were found to excrete greatly increased amounts of protoporphyrin in the feces. No urinary protoporphyrin nor increase of urinary coproporphyrin excretion following the injection was noted.

Antioxidative Effect of Protoporphyrin and Increase of Glutathione in Protoporphyrin-Administered Rat Liver.

open access: yesBiological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1993
The effect of protoporphyrin (PP) administration on the activities of enzymes related to and/or involved in lipid peroxidation and on the content of reduced glutathione (GSH) was investigated in rat liver. PP, at an intravenous dose of 20 mg/kg, increased GSH content, caused a weak suppression of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity and a slight ...

Two Heme-Dependent Terminal Oxidases Power Staphylococcus aureus Organ-Specific Colonization of the Vertebrate Host

open access: yesmBio, 2013
Staphylococcus aureus is a significant cause of infections worldwide and is able to utilize aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, or fermentation as the means by which it generates the energy needed for proliferation.

Effects of Mono- and Dicapsaicinoid Functionalization on the Physicochemical Properties and Antimicrobial Photodynamic Activity of Protoporphyrin IX. [PDF]

open access: yesChemMedChem
Capsaicin functionalization of Protoporphyrin IX influences aggregation behavior, lipophilicity, and photodynamic activity. A monosubstituted derivative exhibits enhanced antimicrobial photoinactivation of Staphylococcus aureus, whereas increased functionalization does not improve efficacy.

Molecular Expression and Characterization of Erythroid-Specific 5-Aminolevulinate Synthase Gain-of-Function Mutations Causing X-Linked Protoporphyria

open access: yesMolecular Medicine, 2013
X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) (MIM 300752) is a recently recognized erythropoietic porphyria due to gain-of-function mutations in the erythroid-specific aminolevulinate synthase gene (ALAS2).

Supramolecular Degraders: An Emerging Paradigm in Targeted Protein Degradation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Dynamic supramolecular assembly reshapes targeted protein degradation by coordinating modular degrader construction, delivery, functional integration, and intracellular assembly or activation across proteasomal, endosomal–lysosomal, and autophagy–lysosomal pathways.

Characterization of Metal-Protoporphyrins as Potential Photosensitizers for Engineered Photoresponsive Proteins

open access: yesJournal of Photochemistry and Photobiology
Metallo-protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) offer a versatile platform for engineering photoresponsive proteins (EPrPs), yet their photophysical and photochemical properties upon interaction with proteins remains insufficiently characterized.

In Situ Bioorthogonal Synthesis of PROTACs via Dual‐Responsive Cleavage for Synergistic Photo‐Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioactive self‐delivering SNAP‐TAC platform responds to tumor‐associated cathepsin B and glutathione, enabling in situ bioorthogonal synthesis of a BRD4‐degrading proteolysis‐targeting chimera within the tumor microenvironment. The resulting BRD4 degradation and PD‐L1 downregulation synergize with photodynamic therapy‐induced immunogenic cell death ...
