Heme Utilization by Pathogenic Bacteria: Not All Pathways Lead to Biliverdin
[Image: see text] The eukaryotic heme oxygenases (HOs) (E.C. 1.14.99.3) convert heme to biliverdin, iron, and carbon monoxide (CO) in three successive oxygenation steps. Pathogenic bacteria require iron for survival and infection. Extracellular heme uptake from the host plays a critical role in iron...
