Common Name12,18-didecarboxysiroheme
Description12,18-didecarboxysiroheme is a tetrapyrrole compound belonging to the chemical class of heme metabolites. It plays a crucial role in the biosynthetic pathway of heme d1, where it serves as an intermediate formed from siroheme through the action of the enzyme siroheme decarboxylase (PMID:25083922 ). The structure of 12,18-didecarboxysiroheme features two propionate side chains that are removed from the pyrrole rings A and B during the conversion to heme d1 (PMID:29076625 ). This compound is tightly bound by the enzyme NirJ, allowing for its purification in complex with the substrate (PMID:29076625 ). In the broader heme biosynthesis pathway, 12,18-didecarboxysiroheme is formed from siroheme and subsequently leads to the production of iron-coproporphyrin III, following the intermediates precorrin-2 and sirohydrochlorin (PMID:24669201 ). The enzymatic conversion of siroheme to 12,18-didecarboxysiroheme is catalyzed by the combined action of AhbA and AhbB (Mbar_A1459 and Mbar_A1460), as demonstrated in an in vivo enzyme activity assay (PMID:24669201 ).
