| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) and uroporphyrinogen III synthase, respectively, is the third and fourth enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway in animals. HMBS has a dipyrromethane cofactor at its active site and catalyzes the sequential condensation of four porphobilinogen (PBG) molecules to form a linear tetrapyrrole, hydroxymethylbilane. To elucidate the catalytic mechanism of HMBS in detail, the enzyme kinetic study of HMBS was carried out with a certain substrate analog (X-PBG). The X-PBG inhibited the HMBS reaction in a noncompetitive manner with Ki of 5 micro-M. Further, we determined the crystal structure of HMBS in complex with X-PBG, which revealed that X-PBG sits in the vicinity of the dipyrromethane cofactor. Especially, the aminomethyl group of X-PBG was found near the distal pyrrole ring of the cofactor. These results imply at least that X-PBG can prevent the condensation of the first PBG molecule with the distal pyrrole ring of the cofactor in HMBS.
