Comparison between crab hepatopancreas and rat liver uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase

We characterized Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UroD) (E.C. 4.1.1.37) in hepatopancreas of the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus as a first step to establish this enzyme as a possible biomarker for environmental contamination. We performed a comparative study of crab UroD with the enzyme UroD present i...

We performed a comparative study of crab UroD with the enzyme UroD present in Wistar rat liver, which is known as a useful indicator of intoxication by polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The final products were the same in crab and rat UroD: the remaining substrate (8-carboxyl-porphyrinogen), the final product Coproporphyrinogen (4-COOH) and intermediate compounds with 7-, 6- and 5-COOH. The elimination of the second carboxyl group seems to be the rate-limiting step in this multiple decarboxylation, because large amounts of 7-COOH porphyrinogen are accumulated. The Vmax/Km ratio was 100-fold higher for rat liver UroD than for crab hepatopancreas UroD, suggesting a higher efficiency of the rat enzyme. Optimum pH for enzyme activity was 7.2 and 6.8 for crab and rat, respectively. Although both systems showed the same optimum temperature (47°C), the activation energy was clearly different, 51.5 kJ/mol for C. granulatus and 5.4 kJ/mol for Rattus norvegicus (Wistar strain). Superdex 75 gel chromatography yielded a single symmetrical peak with an apparent molecular mass of 48±3 kDa for crab hepatopancreas UroD, suggesting the existence of only one enzymatic species in C. granulatus. © 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.
