Plant tetrapyrroles, including heme and bilins, are synthesized in plastids. Heme oxygenase (HO) catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of heme to the linear tetrapyrrole biliverdin as the initial step in bilin biosynthesis. Besides the canonical α-helical HO that is conserved from prokaryotes to human, a subfamily of non-canonical dimeric β-barrel HO has been found in bacteria. In this work, we discovered that the Arabidopsis locus AT3G03890 encodes a dimeric β-barrel protein that is structurally related to the putative non-canonical HO and is located in chloroplasts. The recombinant protein was able to bind and degrade heme in a manner different from known HO proteins. Crystal structure of the heme–protein complex reveals that the heme-binding site is in the interdimer interface and the heme iron is co-ordinated by a fixed water molecule. Our results identify a new protein that may function additionally in the tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway.

Resonance Raman analysis is performed in order to gain insight into the nature of impurity-induced Raman features in GaN:(Mn,Mg) hosting Mn-Mgk cation complexes and representing a prospective strategic material for the realization of full-nitride photonic devices emitting in the infra-red. It is found that in contrast to the case of GaN:Mn, the resonance enhancement of Mn-induced modes at sub-band excitation in Mg co-doped samples is not observed at an excitation of 2.4 eV, but shifts to lower energies, an effect explained by a resonance process involving photoionization of a hole from the donor level of Mn to the valence band of GaN. Selective excitation within the resonance Raman conditions allows the structure of the main Mn-induced phonon band at ~670 cm−1 to be resolved into two distinct components, whose relative intensity varies with the Mg/Mn ratio and correlates with the concentration of different Mn-Mgk cation complexes. Moreover, from the relative intensity of the 2LO and 1LO Raman resonances at inter-band excitation energy, the Huang-Rhys parameter has been estimated and, consequently, the strength of the electron-phonon interaction, which is found to increase linearly with the Mg/Mn ratio. Selective temperature-dependent enhancement of the high-order multiphonon peaks is due to variation in resonance conditions of exciton-mediated outgoing resonance Raman scattering by detuning the band gap.

Although the HcpR regulator plays a vital step in initiation of the nitrosative stress response in many Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, the molecular mechanisms that it uses to mediate gas sensing are not well understood. Here, a 2.6 Å resolution crystal structure of the N-terminal sensing domain of the anaerobic periodontopathogenPorphyromonas gingivalisHcpR is presented. The protein has classical features of the regulators belonging to the FNR-CRP family and contains a hydrophobic pocket in its N-terminal sensing domain. It is shown that heme bound to HcpR exhibits heme iron as a hexacoordinate system in the absence of nitric oxide (NO) and that upon nitrosylation it transitions to a pentacoordinate system. Finally, small-angle X-ray scattering experiments on full-length HcpR reveal that the C-terminal DNA-binding domain of HcpR has a high degree of interdomain flexibility.
