Heme oxygenase (staphylobilin-producing).
based on mapping to UniProt Q8NX62
(1) Protoheme + 5 reduced acceptor + 4 O(2) = 5-oxo-delta-bilirubin + Fe(2+) + formaldehyde + 5 acceptor + 4 H(2)O. (2) Protoheme + 5 reduced acceptor + 4 O(2) = 15-oxo-beta-bilirubin + Fe(2+) + formaldehyde + 5 acceptor + 4 H(2)O.
-!- This enzyme, which is found in some pathogenic bacteria, is involved in an iron acquisition system that catabolizes the host's hemoglobin. -!- The two enzymes from the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, encoded by the isdG and isdI genes, produce 67.5 % and 56.2 % delta- staphylobilin, respectively.
