General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information Vibrio fischeri, an organism that can utilize heme as an iron source when grown under iron limitation, is able to grow with heme as the sole source of iron when its YfeX homolog is absent. Plasmid-driven expression of Escherichia coli YfeX in Vibrio fischeri grown with heme does not result in accumulation of protoporphyrin Escherichia coli
physiological function YfeX effectively decolorizes the dyes alizarin red and Cibacron blue F3GA and has peroxidase activity with pyrogallal but not guiacol. YfeX oxidizes protoporphyrinogen to protoporphyrin in vitro. But it shows no dechelation of heme to free porphyrin as purified enzyme or in cellular extracts of Escherichia coli overexpressing YfeX. YfeX is a typical dye-decolorizing peroxidase (or DyP) and not a dechelatase Escherichia coli
