Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
recombinant human ferrochelatase (R115L) expressed in Escherichia coli JM109 cells Homo sapiens

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
R115L no impact on enzyme activity, exhibits a stoichiometric burst of product formation and substrate consumption, consistent with a rate-determining step following metal ion chelation Homo sapiens
R115L/E343D exhibits similar hyperbolic concentration dependencies on porphyrin and ferrous iron concentrations, characteristic two-step mechanism with rapid substrate binding followed by a slower step of metal ion chelation, 7fold decrease in kcat. Mutation primarily affects events occurring after metal ion chelation Homo sapiens

Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Fe2+ metal ion chelation, with a rate constant of 0.96 s-1, is ca. 10times faster than the rate-determining step in the steady state Homo sapiens
