Leishmania majorwas proposed to either utilize haem from its host or partially synthesize the tetrapyrrole from host provided precursors. However, only indirect evidence was available for this partial late haem biosynthetic pathway. Here, we demonstrate that the LMJF_06_1280 gene ofL. majorencodes a HemG-type PPO (protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase) catalysing the oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to protoporphyrin IX. Interestingly, trypanosomatids are currently the only known eukaryotes possessing HemG-type enzymes. The LMJF_06_1280 gene forms a potential transcriptional unit with LMJF_06_1270 encoding CPO (coproporphyrinogen III oxidase) and with LMJF_06_1290 for a cytochromeb5.In vivofunction of theL. major hemGgene was shown by the functional complementation of theEscherichia coli ΔhemGstrain LG285. Restored haem formation inE. coliwas observed using HPLC analyses. Purified recombinantL. majorHemG revealed PPO activityin vitrousing different ubiquinones and triphenyltetrazolium as electron acceptors. FMN was identified as theL. majorHemG cofactor. Active site residues were found to be essential for HemG catalysis. These data in combination with the solved crystal structures ofL. majorCPO and the physiological proof of a ferrochelatase activity provide clear-cut evidence for a partial haem biosynthetic pathway inL. major.
