1.3.5.3

Accepted name:

protoporphyrinogen IX dehydrogenase (quinone)

Reaction:

protoporphyrinogen IX + 3 quinone = protoporphyrin IX + 3 quinol

Other name(s):

HemG; protoporphyrinogen IX dehydrogenase (menaquinone)

Systematic name:

protoporphyrinogen IX:quinone oxidoreductase

Comments:

Contains FMN. The enzyme participates in heme b biosynthesis. In the bacterium Escherichia coli it interacts with either ubiquinone or menaquinone, depending on whether the organism grows aerobically or anaerobically.
