| Primary Identifier | IPR037119 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
| Short Name | Haem_oxidase_HugZ-like_sf |
| description | This entry represents a domain superfamily that can be found in a group of putative haem-iron utilisation proteins, such as HugZ, a class of heme oxygenase that belongs to the PPOX family and lacks homology to the HmuO family. This enzyme releases iron during the conversion of heme to biliverdin [, ]. This domain can also be found at the C terminus of the glutamyl-tRNA reductase-binding (GluTRBP) protein from Arabidopsis []. GluTRBP is involved in the regulation of glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR) which is important for the synthesis and distribution of 5-aminolevulinate, a precursor in heme and chlorophyll biosynthesis []. GluTRBP is necessary for efficient photosynthetic electron transport in chloroplasts [, ]. |
