heme | HemQ's equilibrium affinity for heme is in the low micromolar range. Holo-HemQ reconstituted with heme exhibits heme lysis after less than 50 turnovers with peroxide and less than 10 turnovers with chlorite. The heme-free apoprotein aggregates or unfolds over time. HemQ uses heme or porphyrin-like organic molecules as substrates. Heme in HemQ degrades in the presence of relatively small numbers of equivalents of H2O2, chlorite, or peracetic acid | Staphylococcus aureus |

evolution | The chlorite dismutases (C-family proteins) are a widespread family of heme-binding proteins | Staphylococcus aureus |
malfunction | a Staphylococcus aureus strain with an inactivated hemQ gene is generated and shown to be a slow growing small colony variant under aerobic but not anaerobic conditions. The DELTAhemQ mutant accumulates coproporphyrin specifically under aerobic conditions. Phenotypes, overview | Staphylococcus aureus |
physiological function | similar substrate role for heme or porphyrin, with possible sensor-regulator functions for the protein | Staphylococcus aureus |
