PDBsumstructure summary

Coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase, mitochondrial (abbreviated as CPOX) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPOX gene.[4][5][6] A genetic defect in the enzyme results in a reduced production of heme in animals. The medical condition associated with this enzyme defect is called hereditary coproporphyria.[7][8]

CPOX, the sixth enzyme of the

lymphocytes.[10]

Function

CPOX is an enzyme involved in the sixth step of

prokaryotic
sources.

Structure

Gene

Human CPOX is a mitochondrial enzyme encoded by a 14 kb CPOX gene containing seven

exons located on chromosome 3 at q11.2.[6]

Protein

CPOX is expressed as a 40 kDa

homodimer with a molecular mass of 37 kDa.[14]

Clinical significance

anaemia. Sometimes, the presence of skin lesions with marked faecal excretion of harderoporphyrin is also described in harderoporphyric patients.[16]

To date, over 50 CPOX mutations causing HCP have been described.[17] Most of these mutations result in substitution of amino acid residues within the structural framework of CPOX.[18] At least 32 of these mutations are considered to be disease-causing mutations.[19] In terms of the molecular basis of HCP and harderoporphyria, mutations of CPOX in patients with harderoporphyria were demonstrated in the region of exon 6, where mutations in those with HCP were also identified.[20] As only patients with mutation in this region (K404E) would develop harderoporphyria, this mutation led to diminishment of the second step of the decarboxylation reaction during the conversion of coproporphyrinogen to protoporphyrinogen, implying that the active site of the enzyme involved in the second step of decarboxylation is located in exon 6.[17]

Interactions

CPOX has been shown to

interact with the atypical keto-isocoproporphyrin (KICP) in human subjects with mercury (Hg) exposure.[21]
