Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced during the heme catabolism by heme oxygenase. In brain or blood vessels, CO functions as a neurotransmitter or an endothelial-derived relaxing factor. To verify whether crystallographically proposed CO-trapping sites of rat and cyanobacterial heme oxygenase-1 really
UV-visible absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) data are reported for the cavity mutants of sperm whale H93G myoglobin and human H25A heme oxygenase in their ferric states at 4 degreesC. Detailed spectral analyses of H93G myoglobin reveal that its heme coordination structure has a single
A solution NMR spectroscopic study of the cyanide-inhibited, substrate-bound complex of uniformly (15)N-labeled human heme oxygenase, hHO, has led to characterization of the active site with respect to the nature and identity of strong hydrogen bonds and the occupation of ordered water molecules
Increase in endothelial cell sloughing and diminished function of endothelial stem cell progenitors in diabetic subjects are well known phenomena. We hypothesized that transplantation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) including mesenchymal stem cells but not limited to CD34(+) stem cells into type 2
OBJECTIVE
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a stress protein induced up to 100-fold within a few hours after exposure to oxidative stress, and it has been shown to counteract oxidative injury induced by ultraviolet light or free radicals. The current study was undertaken to determine whether the HO-1 gene
The substrate and active site residues of the low-spin hydroxide complex of the protohemin complex of Neisseria meningitidis heme oxygenase (NmHO) have been assigned by saturation transfer between the hydroxide and previously characterized aquo complex. The available dipolar shifts allowed the
Heme oxygenase (HO) catalyzes physiological heme degradation using O(2) and reducing equivalents to produce biliverdin, iron, and CO. Notably, the HO reaction proceeds without product inhibition by CO, which is generated in the conversion reaction of alpha-hydroxyheme to verdoheme, although CO is
Beetle luciferases evolved from AMP/CoA-ligases. However, it is unclear how the new luciferase activity evolved. In order to clarify this question, we compared the luminescence and catalytic properties of a recently cloned luciferase-like enzyme from Zophobas mealworm, an AMP/CoA-ligase displaying
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of heme oxygenase/carbon monoxide (HO-1/CO) system on lipid deposition at aortic intima and the mechanism involved in hyperlipidemic rabbits.
METHODS
Totally 32 rabbits, were divided into four groups. One group as control. Three groups for the following
OBJECTIVE
Current experimental evidence demonstrates the development of ischemic regions adjacent to and spatially remote from an intracerebral hematoma. The cause of this ischemia is uncertain. Because ischemia is a known inducer of stress genes, we investigated the induction of two stress
Heme oxygenase, HO, from the pathogenic bacterium Neisseria meningitidis catabolizes heme for the iron necessary for infection. The enzyme, labeled HemO, exhibits less sequence homology to mammalian HO than another studied HO from Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Solution 1H NMR has been utilized to
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on the apoptosis of type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC-II) in rats with hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI).
METHODS
Twenty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 6): control group,
This study investigated whether deferoxamine (DFX), an iron chelator, reduces cavity size after ICH in aged rats. Aged male Fischer rats (18 months old) had an intracaudate injection of 100 μL autologous blood and were treated with DFX or vehicle. Rats were euthanized at day 56 and brains were
The (13)C pulsed ENDOR and NMR study of [meso-(13)C-TPPFe(OCH(3))(OO(t)Bu)](-) performed in this work shows that although the unpaired electron in low-spin ferrihemes containing a ROO(-) ligand resides in a d(pi) orbital at 8 K, the d(xy) electron configuration is favored at physiological
Walker 256 rat carcinosarcoma cells growing as solid subcutaneous or intramuscular tumors depressed hepatic microsomal mixed-function oxygenase activity to less than 20% of control activity, but the same tumor cells growing as free ascites cells in the peritoneal cavity did not. Necrosis of the core
