PubMed Abstract: HO (haem oxygenase) catalyses the degradation of haem to biliverdin, CO and ferrous iron via three successive oxygenation reactions, i.e. haem to alpha-hydroxyhaem, alpha-hydroxyhaem to alpha-verdohaem and alpha-verdohaem to ferric biliverdin-iron chelate. In the present study, we determined the crystal structure of ferrous alpha-verdohaem-rat HO-1 complex at 2.2 A (1 A=0.1 nm) resolution. The overall structure of the verdohaem complex was similar to that of the haem complex. Water or OH- was co-ordinated to the verdohaem iron as a distal ligand. A hydrogen-bond network consisting of water molecules and several amino acid residues was observed at the distal side of verdohaem. Such a hydrogen-bond network was conserved in the structures of rat HO-1 complexes with haem and with the ferric biliverdin-iron chelate. This hydrogen-bond network may act as a proton donor to form an activated oxygen intermediate, probably a ferric hydroperoxide species, in the degradation of alpha-verdohaem to ferric biliverdin-iron chelate similar to that seen in the first oxygenation step.
