Function
[HDOX2_STAAN] Allows bacterial pathogens to use the host heme as an iron source. Catalyzes the oxidative degradation of the heme macrocyclic porphyrin ring to the oxo-bilirubin chromophore staphylobilin (a mixture of the linear tetrapyrroles 5-oxo-delta-bilirubin and 15-oxo-beta-bilirubin) in the presence of a suitable electron donor such as ascorbate or NADPH--cytochrome P450 reductase, with subsequent release of free iron.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01272][1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Enzymatic haem catabolism by haem oxygenases is conserved from bacteria to humans and proceeds through a common mechanism leading to the formation of iron, carbon monoxide and biliverdin. The first members of a novel class of haem oxygenases were recently identified in Staphylococcus aureus (IsdG and IsdI) and were termed the IsdG-family of haem oxygenases. Enzymes of the IsdG-family form tertiary structures distinct from those of the canonical haem oxygenase family, suggesting that IsdG-family members degrade haem via a unique reaction mechanism. Herein we report that the IsdG-family of haem oxygenases degrade haem to the oxo-bilirubin chromophore staphylobilin. We also present the crystal structure of haem-bound IsdI in which haem ruffling and constrained binding of oxygen is consistent with cleavage of the porphyrin ring at the beta- or delta-meso carbons. Combined, these data establish that the IsdG-family of haem oxygenases degrades haem to a novel chromophore distinct from biliverdin.
