- W4244594731 abstract "Ferrochelatase is the terminal enzyme of haem biosynthesis, catalysing the insertion of ferrous iron into the macrocycle of protoporphyrin IX, the last common intermediate of haem and chlorophyll synthesis. Its activity has been reported in both plastids and mitochondria of higher plants, but the relative amounts of the enzyme in the two organelles are unknown. Ferrochelatase is difficult to assay since ferrous iron requires strict anaerobic conditions to prevent oxidation, and in photosynthetic tissues chlorophyll interferes with the quantification of the product. Accordingly, we developed a sensitive fluorimetric assay for ferrochelatase that employs Co2+ and deuteroporphyrin in place of the natural substrates, and measures the decrease in deuteroporphyrin fluorescence. A hexane-extraction step to remove chlorophyll is included for green tissue. The assay is linear over a range of chloroplast protein concentrations, with an average specific activity of 0.68nmol·min−1·mg of protein−1, the highest yet reported. The corresponding value for mitochondria is 0.19nmol·min−1·mg of protein−1. The enzyme is inhibited by N-methylprotoporphyrin, with an estimated IC50 value of ≈ 1nM. Using this assay we have quantified ferrochelatase activity in plastids and mitochondria from green pea leaves, etiolated pea leaves and pea roots to determine the relative amounts in the two organelles. We found that, in all three tissues, greater than 90% of the activity was associated with plastids, but ferrochelatase was reproducibly detected in mitochondria, at levels greater than the contaminating plastid marker enzyme, and was latent. Our results indicate that plastids are the major site of haem biosynthesis in higher plant cells, but that mitochondria also have the capacity for haem production." @default.
