Identification
Name:Uroporphyrin III
DescriptionUroporphyrin is the porphyrin produced by oxidation of the methylene bridges in uroporphyrinogen. Uroporphyrins have four acetic acid and four propionic acid side chains attached to the pyrrole rings. Uroporphyrinogen I and III are formed from polypyrryl methane in the presence of uroporphyrinogen III cosynthetase and uroporphyrin I synthetase, respectively. They can yield uroporphyrins by autooxidation or coproporphyrinogens by decarboxylation.

Reactions
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uroporphyrinogen III = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + precorrin-1.
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + precorrin-1 = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + precorrin-2.
Protein Details
2. Siroheme synthase
General function:
Involved in methyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the SAM-dependent methylation of uroporphyrinogen III at position C-2 and C-7 to form precorrin-2 and then position C-12 or C-18 to form trimethylpyrrocorphin 2. It also catalyzes the conversion of precorrin-2 into siroheme. This reaction consists of the NAD- dependent oxidation of precorrin-2 into sirohydrochlorin and its subsequent ferrochelation into siroheme

Reactions
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uroporphyrinogen III = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + precorrin-1.
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + precorrin-1 = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + precorrin-2.
Precorrin-2 + NAD(+) = sirohydrochlorin + NADH.
Siroheme + 2 H(+) = sirohydrochlorin + Fe(2+).
