title: [Effect of the structure of the prosthetic group on the catalytic properties of prostaglandin H synthetase].
abstract: The effect of vinyl groups of protohemin IX on its cofactor properties with respect to prostaglandin H synthetase has been studied. It was shown that substitution of ethyl groups or a hydrogen for vinyl groups affects neither binding of the prosthetic group to the apoenzyme nor catalytic properties of holo-prostaglandin H synthetase. Replacement of vinyl groups with bulkier substituents (hydroxyethyl or acetyl groups) decreases holoenzyme stability and catalytic activity. By comparison of the cofactor properties of protoporphyrin and hematoporphyrin macrocycles with different central ions (Fe3+, Mn2+, 2H+ in the case of protoporphyrin, and Fe3+, Mg2+, Cd2+ and Cu2+ in the case of hematoporphyrin), the presence of Fe3+ ions was shown to be mandatory for prostaglandin H synthetase activity. It was demonstrated that the cofactor structure modifications do not affect the holo-prostaglandin H synthetase inactivation rate constant in a reaction.
