Identification
Name:Siroheme synthase
Synonyms:
  • Uroporphyrinogen-III C-methyltransferase
  • Urogen III methylase
  • SUMT
  • Uroporphyrinogen III methylase
  • UROM
  • Precorrin-2 dehydrogenase
  • Sirohydrochlorin ferrochelatase
Gene Name:cysG
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
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
