Purification and properties of coproporphyrinogenase.
del Batlle A.M., Benson A., Rimington C.
1. Coproporphyrinogenase has been prepared from rat-liver mitochondria and its properties have been studied. The isoelectric point was found to be around pH5.0 and the molecular weight to be 80000+/-8000. The pH optimum of the enzymic reaction was 7.4 and the apparent K(m) was of the order 0.03mm. ... >> More
1. Coproporphyrinogenase has been prepared from rat-liver mitochondria and its properties have been studied. The isoelectric point was found to be around pH5.0 and the molecular weight to be 80000+/-8000. The pH optimum of the enzymic reaction was 7.4 and the apparent K(m) was of the order 0.03mm. The enzyme was destroyed by boiling and irreversible inactivation occurred below pH3.5. It could be stored at -10 degrees without loss of activity. The enzyme acts specifically on coproporphyrinogen III and does not form protoporphyrinogen from trans-2,4-diacrylicdeuteroporphyrin or its porphyrinogen. It was unaffected by prolonged dialysis and no cofactor requirement could be demonstrated. 2. Column chromatography of a partially purified enzyme preparation on Sephadex G-200 was found to be an improved method of purification, which gave a coproporphyrinogenase 58-fold purified. The purified enzyme was studied electrophoretically but no evidence was obtained to suggest that more than one enzyme was involved in the reaction. 3. The action was studied of various compounds added to the system. The presence of monothiol groups in the enzyme system was indicated, whereas vicinal dithiol groups were not involved in the reaction. Metal-chelating agents did not inhibit the reaction and no requirement for the presence of any essential metal has been found. All attempts to demonstrate the presence of a prosthetic group, in particular flavines, failed. Neither pyridoxal phosphate nor ATP was involved in the reaction, nor was a mitochondrial electron-transport chain required for the activity of the enzyme. Some circumstantial evidence was obtained to suggest that cis-2,4-diacrylicdeuteroporphyrin is an intermediate in the reaction. << Less

Coproporphyrinogen oxidase. Purification, molecular cloning, and induction of mRNA during erythroid differentiation.

Coproporphyrinogen oxidase (EC 1.3.3.3), the enzyme involved in the sixth step of heme biosynthesis, was purified to apparent homogeneity from bovine liver; it has a molecular mass of 37,000 daltons. Partial amino acid sequences were determined. Two degenerate oligonucleotides based on the sequences of trypsin-digested peptides were used in a polymerase chain reaction to amplify a 198-base pair fragment of coproporphyrinogen oxidase DNA, using bovine kidney cells cDNA as a starting template. This fragment was used as a hybridization probe to isolate full-length coproporphyrinogen oxidase clones from a mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cell cDNA library. Sequence analysis revealed that coproporphyrinogen oxidase comprises 354 amino acid residues (M(r) 40,647), with a putative leader sequence of 31 amino acid residues, the result being a mature protein of 323 amino acid residues (M(r) 37,255). RNA blot analysis revealed a 3.0-kilobase coproporphyrinogen oxidase mRNA in mouse liver and in MEL cells. Treatment of MEL cells with dimethyl sulfoxide led to an increase in coproporphyrinogen oxidase mRNA within 10 h, the induction reached a maximum at 24 h, and was in parallel with the induction of ferrochelatase mRNA. The cDNA allows for the expression of active coproporphyrinogen oxidase, the activity of which is mainly present in mitochondria of transfected cultured cells, thereby indicating that mammalian coproporphyrinogen oxidase is mitochondrial enzyme. << Less

Human coproporphyrinogen oxidase is not a metalloprotein.

Coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPO) (EC 1.3.3.3), the antepenultimate enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway, catalyzes the conversion of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX. Previously, based upon metal analysis and site-directed mutagenesis of purified recombinant enzyme, it has been suggested that CPO contains and requires copper for activity (Kohno, H., Furukawa, T., Tokunaga, R., Taketani, S., and Yoshinaga, T. (1996) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1292, 156-162). To examine this putative metal site in human CPO, the cDNA encoding human CPO was engineered into an expression vector with a His6 tag at its amino terminus, and the protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to apparent homogeneity using nickel-nitroliotriacetic acid resin. Activity of the purified protein was monitored by a coupled fluorometric assay that employed purified protoporphyrinogen oxidase to convert protoporphyrinogen to protoporphyrin, thereby allowing the direct fluorescent determination of protoporphyrin IX produced. CPO has an apparent Km of 0.6 microM and an apparent Kcat of 16 min-1 with coproporphyrinogen III as substrate. Metal analysis of the enzyme was carried out via ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy metal analysis, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The data presented demonstrate that human CPO contains no metal center, that it is not stimulated in vitro by iron or copper, and that addition of these metals to cultures expressing the protein has no effect. << Less
